Where's Joyce?

Happy New Year!

I was going to spend New Year's at home, but Arne made sure I went out. First we went to Yumla, a small bar in Hong Kong known for booking good DJs. Then we went to Halo, an exclusive member's only spot.

Arne's friend Michelle met us at Yumla and we all went to Halo.

Then we had a champagne toast.

And drank the night away!

HETEROgENIUS

Don and I went to a party called HETEROgENIUS last Saturday.

Avenue, the club where it was held

The crowd, eh....

Don enjoying himself on the dance floor

Re-entry, $50HK?! ($6.50 US) No way! WHACK!

Pump up the Volume

Then Don and I headed to Volume, which is apparently the #1 Gay Venue in Hong Kong according to HK magazine.

We drank Hoegaarden out of giant glasses

And posed with random gay men

Frozen in Hong Kong

After the opening Don and I went to an ice room located in Balalaika, located in Hotel LKF. I was expecting it to be freezing and I thought everything was made of ice, but it was a disappointment. People wore these cheesy fur coats and it wasn't even that cold! The room had fake ice walls (lame!) and seats made of ice. We acquired a bottle Moët somewhere along the night and continued to imbibe.
