Nat and Tony having a bit of a boogy on a night with no children!
After yet another busy week at EtonHouse, some of the staff looked forward to a relaxed dinner at the best Thai place in Wuxi (maybe the only one?!), The Banana Leaf. We always manage to get a private room, where we are entertained by the restaurant's band. The band like to get us all up for a dance but always seem to think that us Western girls are too tall for them! The food is sensational and the beer is free flowing - a great way to begin the weekend.

Despite promising myself that I would go home straight after dinner (I've had a nasty cold this week), after the free flowing beer, it was not to be! And where else to go on a Friday night in Wuxi but to a German restaurant/bar to celebrate Oktoberfest?! We continued to enjoy the beer and listen to an Austrian band playing all sorts of cover songs. It was just great to listen to and watch a live band - I feel a trip to Shanghai in search of live music is on the cards soon! Watching the Chinese men on the dance floor after several 'heavy' German beers is quite amusing as well. We ended the night with a 1am foot massage and fried rice from the street stalls, lovely!

The weekend always seems to go much too fast, it's always nice to have a relaxing time though. Several long and lazy breakfasts followed by a little bit of work and some DVD watching rounded out the weekend. Am braving the shops of Wuxi this evening though - need to find a Halloween costume for school on Friday. On count down now till Rob gets here, only 6 nights to go!
