Fatties is the place!

I am in the heart of Kowloon in a bar called Fatties. It is loud with chatter, the music is pumping out Beyonce, Mariah Carey, and JLo. There are only a few foreigners in the place. But everyone is keeping up with the lyrics. Even the Salary men are rockin it out. It is open to the street so you also get the vibe of the hustle and bustle going by. Which can include some rather spirited cab drivers and local drunks frequenting the snack shop on the corner where the menu consists of every organ meat you could ever imagine either boiled or fried.

At Fatties, on the back wall there is a list of "Your mother is so Fat..." jokes - like "I had to take a train and two buses just to get on her good side" and "Her driver's license says 'Picture continued on other side'". After my day of non stop walking, I am hoping I don't qualify for any of those comments.

This is a great place for anyone who is alone but wants to feel a part of the crowd. I had been feeling a bit lonely today since my Aussie mate, Murray left yesterday. But I am sure he'd approve of the respite here. He and I found this place the other night when we decided to have one last one for the road.

I hadn't expected to end up here tonight, but my other plans got a bit mixed up. I am glad I came. This place has got the vibe of hanging out with friends, even when my closest friends are thousands of miles away. I miss you guys!! I think I will have another beer in your honour. Cheers!

I hope there is a Fatties in every city I end up in.


A little blurry - it was my second one...
