So Sunday was my birthday, and I managed to do a couple things to celebrate
Hitting the Bars
One of the other guys at work turned 30 on Friday, so there was already a shin dig organised for him. They were so nice and let me join in on the celebrations, and they even sung happy birthday to me! I still can’t believe how friendly everyone is here.
We got to the first bar at 7ish, and stayed there until 1am. We a room upstairs (3rd floor) booked. There were some tables, some lounges, a pool table and a Foosball table. The place had a very history feel, with open brick interior, lots of memorabilia around the place. After this, we went to some other bars, and ended up going to some other bars, but this was after 2am, so they were starting to close up. We ended up leaving at about 3am. During the evening, I drank some Budweisers, Jack n Cokes, and Tequila shots. Maybe too much variety, hehe.





That afternoon one of the guys from work arrived at the apartment, and he staying here with me for a week. Before getting home from the bar, we stopped off at a very authentic American hamburger grill and got a hamburger and omelette to take home. This place was full of characters, and one guy even shouted us our meal.
Mexican for Lunch
So after waking up on Sunday morning (at like noon) we were pretty hungry. No pizza shops would deliver before 5pm, so we decided to head out and get Mexican. We went to Das Meanes. I got a chicken burrito meal with beans, and it was soooo good. Unfortunately I didn’t get a photo of the meal, so you’ll have to take my word from it.
Volleyball
Then a few hours after mexican, I played volleyball with one of the guys from work. He plays casually with a team each week, and they offered to let me play for them! How nice is that?! Although we lost, the game was fun, and I even scored a few points and made some blocks.
Hooters
So the highlight of the day was definitely going to Hooters for dinner
So we told our waitress It was my 23rd birthday, and she brought me out a cool balloon:

We ordered a lot of finger food for dinner (no big meals, we were pretty full from lunch). We got some fried fish, chicken wings, and shrimp. After the meal, I asked the waitress if I could have my photo taken with some of the girls, and the resulting money shot:

Best. Birthday. Ever! On the way out, I picked up a couple of birthday presents too. The girls also signed the shirt. How nice!
