since alcohol sales is cut-off at 2:00am (California law). B/c of
that, I've trained my body to shut down around 2:00am b/c once
alkiehall is cut-off, I go home or get late-night tacos in downtown or
detox at some Chinese cafe in Alhambra or Monterey Park. And LA bars/
clubs usually get going around 10:30-11:30pm in anticipation of the
1:30-2:00am cut-off time. Simple concept enough right?
Except in Shanghai, I don't believe "last call" actually exists. So
this poses quite a problem. B/c there's no last call, SH nightlife
doesn't get going til past midnight or so. Even with the time
difference, my body knows when it's time to (2:00am-ish) to call it a
night, but that don't jive out here in the S'hai. So I find myself
often pooping out around 1:30am, right when the nightlife is about to
pop. It's quite a humbling experience; going home Charlie-Brown-sad-
song-style when party-people are still arriving.
Sad clown indeed.
What is clear is that the young Chinese are out of control. It is utter chaos. Things are too democratic with this demographic!!! Jackie Chan is right when he said, "I'm gradually beginning to feel that we Chinese need to be controlled. If we're not being controlled, we'll just do what we want." Hahahaha!
