1st Bar Tour in Qingdao
Hi everybody!
This is Stefan from Internchina Qingdao blogging. Some news to update you: Internchina Qingdao office is proud to present its first Bar Tour on February 11th! It was an amazing pub crawl well organized by Franzi for her very last weekend in Qingdao as an Internchina intern š Thank you so much for everything!
Back to topic: 15 participants divided in groups of 3 people (with at least one girl in each group to keep fair conditions) tried their best to be the first group in the last bar, in order to get the prize of free beer. We had quite a lot new arrivals these days so it totally made sense to let them get to know Qingdaoās nightlife and the new intern community. Despite the competitive character, the atmosphere was relaxed and ā for sure – everybody had great times. Altogether 6 Bars were involved and had great offers of 7 drinks and snacks. For every Bar each participant got his Bar Visa stamped to make sure, no one skips a Bar to be the first group. Although there was not really a danger of people skipping drinks, which they would get for special offer ļ. We started at Diner22 with a cocktail of our choice and some snacks to be prepared for the evening. The route for the next stops (Terrazzo, Old Jackās, Charlieās Bar and LPG) could be chosen by every group itself. However, except one group we all took the same ways, enjoying the drinks together. The variety of drinks we got in every Bar ranged from Cocktails, over beer, shots, wine and Long drinks. That nightās destination that had to be reached safely and with full stamp card, was Carnegieās in Zhonglian Plaza. Oh and… well, guess who’s team won? I had loved to drink my winner beer but someone stole it!… The destination Zhonglian Plaza was of course also well chosen, since it is well known party area in Qingdao. For those who still didnāt had enough after 6 Bars and at least 7 drinks, there is Ye Chao Club right next door of Carnegieās. Fortunately, everybody made it to the final stop without any bigger incidents.
The next Bar Tour will be in March, the exact date will be announced soon! Hard to top that pub crawl but we are working hard on it š
Hopefully see you on the next tour then!
Cheers,
Stefan – Bar Tour Champion February 2012
Often we go out on Friday nights to have a beer and play a game of pool or two.Ā Anyone can rent by hour to play and ssLPG has great beer and often good music.Ā You can find lots of foreigners there as well as native Chinese people; eating, drinking, and sharing a laugh or two.
