We spend 3 hours walking around looking for a place to sleep. The problem being: No Foreigners Allowed!
This wasn't racism though, you need a special permit to allow foreigners to stay in your place. We eventually find a place.
Go shopping. Pre-drink in hotel.
Go to Ellens, cheap prices, double-fist.
Spend countdown in cab.
Bar 61, drink Chivas, tip heavy, drinks stronger and stronger, mix? Jacks, meet owner, passin' out, free beer. Feel woozy, puke outside.
