Got a ride into the city once again for the big advisor dinner! Kind of nervous and excited to see Scott. Always good to see someone you know in a place that you don’t. So into the city and over to the Sky Tower for dinner at Orbit, a revolving restaurant on the highest structure in the southern hemisphere. That fact still does not sit well with me as I don’t think its true but marketing is just as much about lies as it is about bending the truth! Regardless the dinner was quite nice, the dinners were of course quite small so I planned ahead and ate something before I arrived. The server we had was so strange, it seemed like he had some contempt for our table, rearranging silverware, taking glasses and pouring equal amounts into every glass. He was either OCD or he just took his job way to seriously, I mean you could tell just by looking at our table that we really could care less about proper dining etiquette. Ended up spending $35 for a salmon chunk and some bread… wow I wish there was a taco bell here… $35 could last me a week.
After dinner Scott decided to crash at the hotel, the rest of the group decided to have some drinks at the QF Tavern…. Wow mistake… It was karaoke night and apparently it was only for screaming tuxedo guy and Johnny Cash the hobo. So we promptly left and went to the Globe. Was very awkward for me to be here, went down the stairs and boom pole dancer… very very awkward. So I averted my eyes had a drink and dancer finally got down. Then it was time for dancing, so we all danced like idiots and made the Globe go from creepy pole dancing place to raving dance party. Now that is an American diplomatic mission for ya.
