Entertainment - "Ying Chow"

Recently one of my buddy was brought to one of the thousands of "entertainment" outlets in the country. He was the first among my buddies of friends (I was from a boy school, so all my buddies are guys). I share with you his experience. My buddy, lets call him B, his job commitment brought him to the most religious state in Malaysia to a town close to the border of our neighbouring country.

B was there for only 2 days. He went with two others from KL. And one of the day, after a day of work the manager of the branch in the town brought the three of them together with a local staff for dinner. They had Thai food and according to him the food was excellent. And so after dinner, the manager, to be known as M from now, suggested they would go for drinks. They hesitated for a first, but M told them they will only go to one of the pub nearby.

So they agreed to go but not before the local staff excused himself and mention to them that the Golok town "mayor" will bring them around. He was referring to M. M was known as Golok town mayor but B and others have no idea why was that. At 8.30pm they left the restaurant and went to the pub. When they reached the place, they saw that it was a nice place with a few huts where u can sit and have drinks. It can fit around 10 peoples. They thought it was just a place to chill out.

A Thai girl greeted them politely when they walked in - just plain Sawadika with a friendly smile. A minute after that they realised that they were dead wrong. A girl suddenly hugged B tightly from the back, wrapping herself tightly around him. It was clearly not a friendly type of hug. B looked at M, hoping that he would do something about it but M just smiled cheekily at him as he wrap his hand around the waist of another girl.

They all walked into one of the huts accompanied by 3 girls. A bucket of beers was brought to them, 3 big bottles in the bucket. The girls pour the guys the beers and literally forced-drink them. The cups will be filled up to the brim, cups after cups. B being his first time in this situation, felt awkward. M and the girls was laughing at the antic of B while speaking to each other in Thai language. Though B doesn't understand a work in Thai, he knew they was teasing him.

There was nothing B can do but to drink. He drank about 3 cups in no time. He has a girl close to him. This particular girl knows a bit of english so at least they could communicate. She stayed closed to him, even sitting on his lap. After about 15 minutes, she asked him if he would like to go to the toilet.
