Second Night- No Sleep

Later that evening at around 10:30, I headed over to meet Chau. I had tried to take a nap, but I was wired from not sleeping, so i just took another shower and figured I'd sleep later.

We met at Kubanito, where Leslie was working. The place was really crowded but we settled into a booth, and, since it was her last evening, I braced myself for what Chau said was gonna be a long night.

A few hours later, and after a round of Monacos and virgin pina coladas, we took a snack break and went across the street to buy lebanese food.

By 4:30 am, and a few more round of drinks and the acquaintance of Ignacio, an Italian interactive architect, we were the only ones left in the place. We waited for Leslie to finish closing up so we could walk her home, and started heading down the street when Ignacio asked, "Why don't you come over for panna cota?". Why not indeed. So resigning myself to no sleep for yet another evening, we all headed over to Ignacio's for dessert (breakfast?).

Mmm Mmm Monaco

So Tien-Chien introduced me to probably the best alcoholic drink I've tried in a long time. Now, I'm not a beer guy, but when he told me he would invite me to a Monaco (also called Panache), I couldn't very well say no. And I'm glad my mom raised me right. It was delicious.

At first I thought it was a brand of beer, but turned out it's a mixture of lemonda, light beer, and grenadine. I can't believe I've been here a whole month and just found out about it. Or maybe that's a good thing.
