Night time at Bora, what could an introvert like me could do but to just walk the 3 kilometers stretch of white sand. I don't know what I was thinking, now that I'm thinking about it, but at that time it made a lot of sense to do so, and that it was a perfect way to "check out" the night life in bora. My "check out" plan was just me walking from station 3 to 1. Even after passing by 3 or 4 party scenes, the last party was the only one I walked into. One because it doesn't seem to require me paying any entrance fees, although I think that all parties there don't ask you to pay for anything except for drinks or snacks... I guess. And 2, it was the last party destination as I am nearing the opposite end, so if I don't get into this, then I won't get to experience the party scene in Bora.

So I went in, the crowd was pumped up as they were led into a frenzy by the DJ and this woman in her bikini jumping up and down like crazy. Needless to say I was amused, not because I was digging the music and was just itching to shake my booty (although now I wished I did), but because everything seemed different for me. It was as if I'm in a museum and just observing everyone like preserved specimens in bottles filled with formalin. I know I could hear my brother say "which planet did you come from?" or just a recent line he has for me "where have you been?", and answer is, I really don't know. I missed all these because it's really not my "thing".
You know a time when DJ would point the mic directly to the crowd, hoping the crowd will sing out a line. Well I couldn't seem to fill in that damn line. I didn't know the song, and I felt so strange. As much as I want to just at least enjoy the beats and atmosphere, me not being able to relate to any songs, bugged me so much that I felt incapable of having fun... I felt so out of place, the same feeling when I was in HK disney land for my 29th birthday.
What the hell was I thinking?
It's times like these, that tell me that I really have aged and that I don't really know myself well yet. Well maybe I know, but I guess since it's something different and totally out of my box then I went out for it. I should remind myself that most things I know I would not enjoy, turns out to be things I would not enjoy.
Now where is the exit gate?
