1st of January, a late short report ;-)

The first day of the new year started with being sleeping longtime because of the late New Years Eve we all had.
Kik works at Simon Cabaret, aand regularly people for Simon also come to our bar, to relax and unwind after a hard day/evening of work.
Last year Kik and I joined the Simon people in their traditional round to all the larger cabaret/go-go bars here in Patong, and as the then only farang it was special to experience this special tradition by Phukets most famous and one of Thailands best cabaret theater companies! Every bar visited received a special gift from Simon Cabaret for the new year.

This year Kik and I were not invited, everything went different compared with the previous years....... now a large group, not all like last year, of Simons went very quick to all the bars to present them with Simons new year gift of 2009.
BUT this time they came to our bar last, and the first time they as such a visit to J&B Bar.
We were honored and happy with their visit and were very happy to receive their new year gift!

Specially for Kik it felt weird, to receive his bosses and collegues he had worked with as usual earlier in the evening, in our bar in his capacity as co-owner of J&B together with me.
We were invited same time to join the Simon Cabaret NY party at Galaxy Disco elsewhere in Patong after the closing of our bar.
And so another late night followed for Kik and me, but again a happy one!
