A relaxing night out

Tonight we're it at a local bar that has opened recently. It's unusual for bars in this town because it features live music, serves both beer and cocktails, and has reasonable prices. And the lead singer has great pecs.
Even better, the bar is located right on Beihu park, so when the temperature gets too hot inside, you can walk out to the lake and, if you're lucky, get a cool breeze. It really makes for a nice, low key evening.

Bars in Chenzhou tend to be lacing in one thing or the other. Lots of places have a single live singer, basically doing a one-person karaoke show.This is the first place that has had a full band play, and they're pretty good. A local celebrity also stopped by. He had apparently made it to the final round of one of China's amateur singing shows (like American Idol). And he is a Chenzhou local, so he came in to sing a few songs. 

Overall the evening was really nice and chill and my friend Rebecca even got her flight booked to go back to England this month, which was something that she had been worried about.We're all getting to that place where we need to make plans for summer. Some people will go back home, while others will stay in China for the summer. Some people will continue working in Chenzhou next year while others will seek higher pay in the bigger cities. I hope to be the latter,  but I'm still hunting.
