Personal highlights

  1. Matchedje: large club somewhere behind the railway station
  2. Club-hopping: trying several small bars until finding a real club
  3. Taxi-rides: talking to several cab drivers to find the place to go
  4. Separée: having a glimpse at a private room for VIP paying guests
  5. Dancing: rhythmically moving to locally adapted RMB / POP music
  6. People: I'm the outlier, nearly the only European in the whole club
