		<description><![CDATA[A crazy all nighter dressed up in the traditional indian wedding attire. Visiting Mambos nightclub, Kamaki Bar, and Simba during the morning. ]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last night in Goa! I dressed up in the traditional Indian attire and walked the 30 minutes to the club from my hotel. When I got to the counter, I realised I was 100 rupees short for entry, and had to walk back to the hotel to get more money. 90 minutes gone, but now I was back and got right in&#8230;</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>About Mambos Nightclub</strong></span><br />

<strong>Atmosphere: </strong>Relaxed, fun, open.<br />
<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Timeline</strong></span></p>
<p>Basically wearing this outfit automatically made me King Dingaling of the club. The security wanted photos with me, the bar staff wanted photos and let me inside their bar as well&#8230; as well as a whole heap of other people who wanted photos too.</p>
<div id="attachment_216" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 490px"><img class="size-full wp-image-216" title="Bouncers at Mambos asked for a photo with me" src="http://jamestran.net/wp-content/uploads/img_1515.jpg" alt="Bouncers at Mambos asked for a photo with me" width="480" height="361" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Bouncers at Mambos asked for a photo with me</p></div>

<p><strong>No podium dancing allowed for men </strong>: Yeah how dodgy is that? There were girls dancing up, and they stepped down. I wanted to get up, but suddenly a security guard jumped in front of me and told me &#8220;Do You Want To Step Outside???&#8221;  So wasn&#8217;t fair, they let these ugly girls dance, and yet I couldn&#8217;t&#8230; ? Where&#8217;s the justice?<span id="more-215"></span></p>
<p><strong>Riding the bull</strong><br />
I rode the damn thing. It costs 100 rupees ($2.50) per ride. I met some guys from Denmark and this guy from America who was off his chops. Whoever lasted the shortest would have to pay next round of drinks. The American lost miserably.</p>
<div id="attachment_217" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 490px"><img class="size-full wp-image-217" title="Riding the bull at Mambos" src="http://jamestran.net/wp-content/uploads/img_1523.jpg" alt="Riding the bull at Mambos" width="480" height="360" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Riding the bull at Mambos</p></div>
<p>After lots of drinks and hi fives the place closed we moved onto Kamaki Bar up the road..</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>About Kamaki Bar</strong></span><br />
<strong>Location</strong>: Tito’s Lane, Baga &#8211; Calangute Road, Goa, India.<br />
<strong>Inside</strong>: Outdoor patio area with the enclosed indoor area being the dancefloor space. A tiny version of Mambo.<br />
<strong>Music</strong>: House<br />
<strong>Crowd</strong>: We got there 3am.. just hardcore dancers or people still trying to pick up or make the most of it.<br />
<strong>Dress Code:</strong> Casual<br />
<strong>Cover Charge / Entry Fee</strong>: 300 rupees for the enclosed dancefloor area<br />
<strong>Atmosphere</strong>: Dying, Hot, Sweaty</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Timeline</strong></span><br />
So after a drink, I head in with Morten the Danish dude and the high American guy. We just dance, and drink.. and drink some more.</p>
<p><strong>Girls: </strong>Inside, there were rapidly less girls, about 5 or 6 left. In India, any caucasian female is hot, considering the lack of Indian girls. There was though one nice Indian girl who could really shake her body. She walks up and places an ice cube down my back. Never had that done before at a club! Never got her back.. she had an army of guys hounding her anyway.</p>
<div id="attachment_224" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 413px"><img class="size-full wp-image-224" title="Kamaki-bar" src="http://jamestran.net/wp-content/uploads/img_1577.jpg" alt="Best female dancer, but too flirty with all the other guys! Gave up trying.." width="403" height="480" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Best female dancer, but too flirty with all the other guys! Gave up trying..</p></div>
<p><strong>Heat, and the man who didnt want to hand over my sunnies</strong>: It was so freaking stuffy in there. There was a lack of air conditioning or it was piss weak. It was a sauna in there, and we were regularly stepping outside every few songs for a breather. One time we went outside, one of the Indian taxi drivers managed to get a hold of my yellow sunnies and refused to give them back to me, as he said someone else had given it to him! So dodgy. Eventually I got them back.</p>
<p>Sunrise came, and so did the closing of Kamaki Bar. Next destination was Simba Dayclub.</p>
<p>As Morten said &#8211; &#8220;Lets party in the JUNGLE!!!&#8221;</p>
<div id="attachment_222" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 490px"><img class="size-full wp-image-222" title="indian-guy-morten" src="http://jamestran.net/wp-content/uploads/img_1569.jpg" alt="Indian Guy who wouldnt hand over the sunnies. Morten in the pink" width="480" height="360" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Indian Guy who wouldnt hand over the sunnies. Morten in the pink</p></div>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>About Simba Club</strong></span><br />
<strong>Location</strong>: Calagunte, Goa<br />
<strong>Inside</strong>: There&#8217;s no inside, Just the back of someone&#8217;s farmhouse. There&#8217;s a dirt floor and a bar, with chairs all around. Looking out, all you can see are plantations of corn or whatever they eat in India.<br />
<strong>Music</strong>: I dont remember, but some Jamaican stuff / Reggae<br />
<strong>Crowd</strong>: Dominantly Jamaican / African<br />
<strong>Dress Code</strong>: Casual<br />
<strong>Cover Charge / Entry Fee:</strong> Free<br />
<strong>Atmosphere</strong>: Friendly, non-judgemental. However it was 8am, and everyone looked dead.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Timeline</strong></span><br />
We managed to get some people from Kamaki to drive here as well.</p>
<p>When we got there, there was a group of black people in the corner just chilling.. and us &#8211; 5 guys and 2 girls. I dont even know why I came here. I was cold, hungry, sleepy, and tired.</p>
<p><strong>Don&#8217;t ever fuck with someone&#8217;s happiness</strong><br />
So one of the girls starts dancing, all alone, and so I stepped up to the dirt floor and did a little jig alongside her. She looks a bit shy as there&#8217;s no eye contact, so I didn&#8217;t touch her.</p>
<p>One of the local guys calls me over.<br />
&#8220;Hey, You have a nice outfit&#8221;<br />
&#8220;Thank you&#8221;<br />
&#8220;I have a question. Do you think she is having fun? (the girl dancing on her own)&#8221;<br />
&#8220;Yes, I do&#8221;<br />
&#8220;Well, good. Because the way you dress, its good *thumbs up sign*, but the way you act, not good *thumbs down sign*. I only gave you directions to here because you dressed well&#8221;<br />
Did he just say <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>The way I act, thumbs down??</em></span> I didn&#8217;t quite understand. I didn&#8217;t know if he was trying to insult me or crack a joke, so I laughed.<br />
&#8220;hahaha yes yes&#8221;<br />
&#8220;No, do you think she is happy right now?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;yes?&#8221;<br />
&#8220;Well, <em>don&#8217;t fuck with her happiness!!</em>&#8220;<br />
*confused look* &#8220;er.. ok!&#8221;</p>
<p>I can&#8217;t believe he said that.<em> </em>You fuckface, just cause you can&#8217;t fucking dance doesn&#8217;t mean you can fuck my happiness. How is dancing near a girl fucking with happiness??? How does one fuck happiness anyway???? FUCK. build a fucking bridge. Stay in your dirt floor bar and I hope nobody fucks with your happiness too. Fuck!! <em><br />
</em></p>
<p><em></em></p>
<div id="attachment_226" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 373px"><em><em><img class="size-full wp-image-226" title="happiness" src="http://jamestran.net/wp-content/uploads/img_1589.jpg" alt="I apparently fucked her happiness according to someone else" width="363" height="480" /></em></em><p class="wp-caption-text">@ Simba with a girl who came from Kamaki -  I apparently fucked her &#39;happiness&#39; according to someone else</p></div>
<p><em></em><em><br />

<p><strong>Coda</strong><br />
So, I wasn&#8217;t happy, but I was hunrgy. I left to the hotel to eat breakfast, real bloody tired</p>
