A Tale of Two Cities

A rare event: we went to a club tonight. It was called Titanium on Sukhumvit Soi 22 and comprised a cramped ground floor, bargirls in Chinese silk dresses, an all-girl band (actually pretty good), lots of ex-pats and an upstairs which had - no, not what you're thinking... - a balcony overlooking the band and a shot bar which was kept at -10C. Surreal. All quite novel for us. Difficult to have a conversation but we enjoyed it. In the taxi home, gone midnight, we passed Thai kids cleaning windscreens or just hanging out on street corners, their parents busy elsewhere trying to earn a crust. A tale of two cities...
