The show itself started late, but that gave us lots of time to set it up - even got pizza in the process :) The music was better in the rooms we decorated, so we stayed there mostly and rocked the fuck out for hours! I have been dancing so much here it's ridiculous - it's going to get me in shape so fast! My tattoo goes over well with people when I wear my backless shirt and I am loving it :)

A woman in neon saw my hoop that I had brought (I was only able to use it when we were alone in the back rooms before they were open - no space) and got a guard she knew to let us in a space fenced off to hoop some more for over ten minutes!!

After dancing for hours, I asked if Jamie needed help tearing down after... she did.. so we sat and talked till the place shut down and managed to get it all done pretty quick - got back after 5am though, had to be super quiet...

I slept in the next day. I had only had one beer that night, but the physical activity had me sleepy till past noon. Shelli and I decided to go for Vietnamese pastries shortly after I ate breakfast, but it was closed. We opted for subway instead :) I came back and left again shortly afterward with an Aussie and another hostel inhabitant to peruse Chinatown because Chinese New Years celebrations were going on....




I found out it is the year of the Ox! I am the year of the Ox! This is my year! I am very happy about that :) I got a little dangler thing I put on my key chain with a jade ox. There was some singing thing going on, but the highlight was when we discovered these crazy massaging chairs that were giving away demos!! Aarron and I had 20 minute massages for free, and as a massage therapist I have to admit they were relaxing... they had a foot and calf squeeze part that was just heaven.

I stumbled back to the hostel post-massage climbing the four flights of stairs which promptly puts one's calves back to normal. Dinner was ready, and then I went back down and out again to go to a movie with Dave. We were supposed to see the Benjamin Button one but it was sold out, so we went to see Underworld 3 haha. I was expecting nothing but hot women in tight outfits and gore, which is what I got. I was satisfied. I was amused that I didn't recognize any of the new movie posters or adds. I am out of the loop and I love it!

The movie was early, so we got back 8ish and a bunch of us went to a house party. The theme was "gays vs. mormons"... the crowd was half couchsurfers from couchsurfing.com, and the rest were equally as cool. We fit nine people into a child's hula hoop (they are EVERYWHERE HERE) and tried to move around and coordinate our dancing hahahaha. I had a lot of fun :)

Donuts followed this ordeal, followed by a cab, and more food.

the donuts and ice tea saved my stomach the next morning - I woke up not really hung over!!!! It was Sunday, lazy day, but I was happy I didn't have to waste the whole day at all. After a late breakfast, Shaun and I went out for an adventure. I was told of a park nearby that had a wicked view and it was up on a hill (not really that indicative of where it is) so we went to find it.



It wasn't actually that hard since Shaun had been there before, and he took me through some foresty stuff climbing and such, wandered about hills, we found another park, pushed buttons for wheelchair ramps and ran away, warmed hands by a gas outdoor fire, and log rolled down a hill in the newly discovered park. I had forgotten how dizzy log rolling makes you - had to lay at the bottom for a while. I got hungry and cold so it was back to the hostel for dinner! I went to a silly show after that with Dave on the bike... the music was not my scene but the stage show was hilarious... I got to draw my Superfox and some celtic stuff on a mural and play with a stuffy killer whale :)







I was pretty tired after this eventful day full of walking and climbing and stuff, so I chilled around the hostel for the rest of the night :)
