The Pool At Elsewhere
After a long walk at the night market near the riverside, I decided to attend "First friday" at Elsewhere, a swarming mass of ex-pats in the courtyard of a converted colonial villa. A sea of Europeans, a smattering of Americans, and a few locals, too.
A giant college party, with people sprawled out on bamboo mats, with their feet in the dipping pool, smoking cigarettes, downing drinks, with more mixing as it got later.
Germans, Dutch, Americans, Canadians, Australians, and returned Cambodians, blending into a drunken paste. Reminiscent of the boat scene of Gravity's Rainbow.
I even met a guy from Bensonhurst.
