Guanabara 3rd Birthday Celebrations

Tues (30 Oct 07) - We went to Guanabara (a Brazilian Club in Holborn) to celebrate its 3rd birthday. Trung was also in London that week and it was Valerie's last week in London, so it was a good opportunity to catch up with them. There was an interesting fashion show at the start (my first time seeing wedding bikinis complete with veil and bridal bouquet), followed by a group of dancers who did amazing stunts.

The night ended with a great Brazilian band and us on the dancefloor (yes, I can just see Deb laughing away & thinking back to the time when she took me clubbing in Madrid, according to her, I dance like a block (ie. feet glued to one spot and one hand holding a glass of coke...hehehe...I think I totally stunned the Spanish barman when I ordered a glass of coke. He kept saying: "Are you sure?! Just coke?! uh...okay, that would be 6Euros thanks.") *SIGH* Yes, I know, most expensive glass of coke. I am such a nerd, but hey, still got asked to dance by a French dude (despite me being in sneakers, bobby socks and skirt below my knees & flashing my wedding ring around, obviously the rock is not big enough to be noticed, Garry, I think it's time for an upgrade!!). On reflection, I think I only got asked cause French dude's Spanish friend ("Pedro") wanted to dance with Deb so needed to get rid of the daggy sister!

Anyway, a lot tamer at Guanabara. I was trying to copy Tom's dance moves..he was pretty good...but hmmm...I wasn't too sure about those boxing-like moves!! Still it was great fun. Garry video-ed the band so you can listen to it (click on YouTube).

No can of coke this time but Tom got us a nice Brazilian softie...tasted a lot like Kickapoo (a Singaporean fizzy drink). Hey Deb, how's my "block-dancing"?!
