Last night, we went out to go dancing. Once again, kind of a no surpriser. But, we started the night at Blue Chili. Ever since I got to Cambodia, I had heard of Blue Chili, being the hippest bar for the best drag shows in Phnom Penh. When I heard that, I was a little thrown off. Drag shows....? In Cambodia? WHAAAA?! So, I was super excited to go last night and see what this was all about. Well, we arrived around 11pm and luckily it had just started. The place was a super tiny bar, but it was pack with people standing outside. The drag show took place in the bar with the drag performance done on top of the bar counters. Super fun! When we first got there, the drag queen was preforming to a Cambodian pop song. It was just mind-blowing. I never thought I would see this at all, especially in Cambodia. The place reminded me of the 90's and the drag performances, except with Cambodian people. Well, we stood outside and watch for a little bit before we decided to get inside the bar. I am happy that we did because the view was a lot better, crowded, but better. It was a short performance. There were 5 drag queens, so the drag performance was about an hour. But, it was an hour of just awesomeness. Three songs that were in Khmer, one being a famous Korean song by Wondergirls, but of course Khmer dubbed. Naturally a performance with Cher and Beyonce. I did hope for Lady Gaga, but maybe she was just taking a rest in Phnom Penh that night. =( But, besides that, it was just absolutely fun!
Next stop was Saint Tropez. We decided to go here because our friends that we made/ met through Jeff, Monica and Sokha wanted to go to Saint Tropez and do a little dance. Well, let's say things got somewhat crazy. The music was pretty all right. But, they did play some Khmer song, but remix. One of them being some old school Khmer rock, I'm sixteen. So naturally, I busted out my Khmer dancing.
Afterwards, we said our goodbyes to Monica and Sokha and headed to Pantoon.I have heard a lot about this place since I got here. It is basically a club on a boat on the river. Yes. Who thought of that? Such a genius. I do not know why we had never gone here because the music was absolutely amazing. It was quite weird to dance on the boat because it was somewhat rocking, I think, but it could have been that there was so many people there. Yes, so many people, that has to be it.
Well, it is Sunday night. I leave Phnom Penh in two days. Oh man, this crazinesssss.
