A few days ago, we had our Sep monthly gathering; the event was so much fun. And all of a sudden, I thought of having a nightout at a nightclub and cabaret. Would it be nice if we are all part of this theme? Some of us may have bad experiences; but I hope you will look at what I am going to write next in good light and good old memories; and not think that I am some bad hat.
Some of us have frequented nightclubs in our good young days. For men, it could be a good night out with some young hostesses. For businessmen and businesswomen, a night out at the cabaret can bring in that difficult deal. And, for some men, downing a bottle of martell helped drown sorrows and sad memories.
Imagine yourself one night, during the late 70’s, on the 9th floor of Majestic nightclub and cabaret in Taipei. You had your car valet-parked by an attendant, and then you are up the lift with 3 other men. Very quickly, the door hostess addressed you as Ta Ker, and lead you to a round sofa. After you ordered your drinks, the mamasan came along, introduced a few ladies to you and your associates. Within a few minutes, everybody settled down.
Not very far in front of our table was a stage, with blinking lights. Mei Hua, top singer at Majestic nightclub was singing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCPYNcijVkE. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . In the nightness, on the dance floor, was a group of men and women holding one another, around the waist and neck. After the second song, the numbers changed, and my partner just walked away, and I went back to my table.
