No trip is complete without an adventurous night out. For Travis’s birthday, we made reservations at a pub, Opal Lounge. We had no idea of what to expect. The place was really nice and could have been in any U.S. city. There were plenty of foreigners there to make you feel right at home. So all 25 of us ordered food and started drinking. Our budget was 15,000 rupees or $360 USD. We spend almost all of it. The pub was expensive but had a wonderful ambiance and music. You just couldn’t keep our group off the dance floor. A little 50 Cent and everyone was on the dance floor. That DJ must have had the CD, Dance Party from the 90s, because we heard music that night that has not been played in the U.S. since 1996. We ate it up. We danced so much that the DJ refused to play bangara for fear of the place getting too rowdy. When looking around the room, it was unsurprising that only our group was really dancing. Since we made up about a quarter of the restaurant population, it did not faze us at all. Everyone else there just starred at us aside from the few shady men who tried to dance with our women.
The DJ and owner are both Sikh. I guess those Sikhs knows how to party because everyone had an incredible time in spite of leaving by 10:30pm. Even our favorite tour guide, Ram got up and danced with us. It was a great night out and Travis really enjoyed his birthday in spite of being slightly ill.
