Out Again

I was supposed to be up early this morning to get in as much work as I could before the pay period ended. Instead, I wound up staying out late at the Hopf Brewery with the Reeza's Mike and the Swedish Gang. Hopf brewery is an upscale pizza/beer joint on Beach Road, where one goes to see and be seen... in the tabloid gossip pages sense of the word.

One of the owners is an Italian fellow who is a true Italian tenor, and on the weekends, he gets up and performs... Queen, Ray Charles, a few Thai songs, and yes... some Italian golden oldies as well. Though seriously: The highlight is the him singing in Thai.

He is quite a draw... as is the home brewed wheat and lager beers, and the oven-fired pizza. However, take a pass on the mussel appetizer... blech. Still though: It's probably the only restaurant in Pattaya to have the automatic-sensor urinals and sinks. Now that's classy!
