Hello and Goodbye.....

right: cutting of special cake for saying goodbye to our longtime customer Joel, and Arno, to the left of Joel, who leaves today for Berlin, Germany, with staff of J&B.... Rob, making picture and Kik, working at Simon Cabaret, ofcourse not visible, hehe

Well, thats what allways seem to be the situation when one has a bar in a tourist area like Patong Beach.
You allways welcome new arrivals with a smile and hope that your attitude, service, and being a good host, make them come back or even choose you as their starting point for whatever activities on whatever moment of the day!
If that happens, and a customer then also stays a real long time, well, then saying goodbye at the end of his stay is extra difficult.

Every time when we have to let go of good, pleasant and regular customers, who we enjoyed having, its holding ones hart because one feels the place won't be the same afterwards and one wonders if the atmosphere which had been created over the past week(s), can ben kept or even improved on.

Hence why every time such a special customer leaves we all wonder if and how we will go forward from there.... specialy me, and even more specially if its a fellow countryman.

last night we had such a farewell, and our regular customers know that when they left they received, at least those with whom we got the chance to, haha, a picture taken of them in our bar in whatever setting.
Thats a little sign of appreciation we try to make since we changed the system of the bar early december. We can only hope its as much fun for our guests to receive it as it is for us making and giving it!

But okay, since allmost the start of the 'new' J&B early december Joel, the dutch guy, and those who read this and visited our bar these last months, know whom I talk about here, had to leave us to go back to The Netherlands. All good things come to an end.
I can only express my gratitude towards Joel, because except that he was a good customer, that he voluntarily got many people to sit down in that of the beaten track located little (red)bar in the gay quarter of Patong Beach, Paradise Comple, he also offered and made our present website www.jbbarphuket.tk !! Ofcourse, he on his part appologised that the website was very simpel etc (blablabla) becaus ehe had only his simpel laptop with him with few to no special programs..... well, that might be the case, we were simply very happy because it was a very stimulating gift which also gave us a more independent feeling and maybe also attitude towards others, mainly the businesses around us....... and we seem to be the only gaybar here who has now his own website............mmmm, possibilities??? who knows... lets see, first everybody must find his or her way to our website and preferably the bar itself, O and who knows they also will read, one day, this little entry ;-)

Well... as you see, in more then one way a special customer and therefor by exception, this little piece about "hello" and "goodbye"
