Khop Jai Deu

Food sucks, people suck, overpriced.  The only reason to go is to try to pick up foreign girls.  There rarely are any, but this seems to be the only place they’ll go after 6.

Sam Lo

An acquaintance of mine recently told me “Will, every time I see you you’re drunk.”  And he’s right, because the only time I see him is in Sam Lo, and I only set foot in there when I’m too drunk to know better.

If the bar from Star Wars was an actual bar, it would be Sam Lo.  It’s dark, dingy, and filled with questionable characters.  I absolutely hated this place when I first moved here, but it’s grown on me since then.  Part of the reason is that half the city’s expat population hangs out here so there’s always people to chat with.

Despite rarely going here, I’ve gotten in more near fights (and one actual fight) than everywhere else in my life combined.  No one really shows up until 11 and the bar is usually open later than others.
