Lush

What is Lush? Lush is a smell, a noise, a quality of light. Lush is life.

Or maybe it's just a nice little bar in Wudaokou.

Me, I'm tired of Lush. The smell is cigarette smoke, and the noise is made by drunk people and bad singers. But some of our students still go every single day. And I don't blame them. Lush is a comforting bastion of spoken English in a Chinese world, and the alcohol is priced very reasonably.

These pictures are from our first experience with Lush. We had a good time. I drank a Bacardi Breezer and a half and got very stupid. Which is pathetic, I guess. I'm such a lightweight. But, that's OK, because later I tried drinking a cosmopolitan, got sick, and lost my taste for alcohol completely.

Pooja doesn't drink but is somehow able to handle drunk people very well and get dry drunk on the energy. It's a great talent.

Kelvin and myself.
