Nong my imagination

Thai Patio, 5273 Hollywood Blvd, Los Angeles, CA
Is there a foreign country in the middle of city of Los Angeles? It is here! As I walked into the Thai territory, I felt relax and connected. This place had it all: music, alcoholic beverages and friendly people; that’s what I call a Thai treat! My friend Lisa waited for me while sipping her Thai beer. She seemed happy, even though, she waited a long hour for me. But once again, music and alcohol bring out the best in people - or else it’s my imagination going wild. Before I sat down, Lisa was on stage singing with Nong (the stage singer) suddenly, they were in the middle of an incredible duet, making other people happy with their music. I had the best sit of the house, right on front of them. I was VIP (or at least the Thai service made me feel like it). Lisa returned to the table, and said that next week they were organizing a gig elsewhere. My friend ordered another beer, and before I exchanged a word, she jumped on stage again. Apparently, singing was her goal and the beers were her fuel. Around me, people were singing and drinking. It was like a carnival all night long. There was no end to this party, joy was in the air and more people kept coming. Finally, Nong took a stage break, and Lisa approached me. She wanted to see the pictures I took while they were singing. Nong is such a sport because earlier she was ill, but singing was her medicine. After many songs, it was running late and catching up on some sleep didn’t sound like a bad idea after all. Sometimes, I wish a day had more hours for more drunk stories to write about.
