About how we all met

With Claudine we cycled for a little bit more and then returned to Yangshuo. In front of the hostel we met a strange (=very unusual looking, tall, bald, wonderfully suntanned, wearing random colourful clothes) guy (who Claudine obviously had met before) who invited her (refusing to even grant me one glance)to join him and some other people for a drink later. We agreed on the time and the two of us were off to search for local cuisine and leaving West Street behind we went looking for supper down the always busy lanes (with locals rather than westerners who, quite self-evidently, stayed mostly on the West Street)of the little town.
We had our supper in one of the street restaurants and sharing the table with a bunch of happy Chinese guys and girls constantly shouting 'Gambae!' constantly drinking to something, we indulged in constantly shouting 'Gambae!' with them and constantly drank to something (anything)too. And ah, dad's homemade slivovica so was the drink to cheer with!
At about 9pm (when we agreed on meeting with the weirdo) we were off, happily hopping down the back streets to our hostel in the West Street, to meet Rusty (the weirdo) and have some more delicious local beer.
And so we entered Enter the Dragon and we all met.

For hours and hours we sat and talked, about interesting things, about fun things and about various random things, mostly nonsense too.
And thus it was for days coming and going until we were all gone again.
