Happy birthday Marie!

I går var vi ude for at fejre Maries fødselsdag. Vi var omkring 25-30 stk. som tog på Japansk steakhouse for at fejre hende, og derefter var der en lille fest i hendes lejlighed inden vi tog i byen. 

Maden var rigtig god - jeg fik sushi, så jeg var glad! Tilbage i lejligheden var der sørget for kage, og vi sang fødselsdagssang. 

Eftersom der ikke rigtigt findes offentlig transport her i byen, og det er helt utænkeligt at man går ned til barene, er der nogen som har fundet på et alternativ transportmiddel. 

Normalvis plejer der at være et par stykker som holder sig ædru indtil vi tager i byen, så man kan køre derned, men hvis det ikke er tilfældet kan man ringe efter "Tipsy Transit". 

Tipsy Transit er en lille minibus med sofa hele vejen rundt, som kører dig til og fra hvor du har brug for det. Man betaler 5$ for en enkelt-billet eller 7$ for tur/retur. De samler dig op hvor du er, og bringer der hen hvor du skal, og det samme når du skal hjem igen. 

Rimelig smart alternativ til en dyr taxa, ulempen er at man ind imellem skal vente på at de har tid til at hente dig, men når man er en stor gruppe betyder det ikke så meget.

Yesterday we went out to celebrate Marie's birthday. We were 25-30 people who all went to a Japanese steakouse to celebrate her, and after that there was a small party at her place before we went to the bars. 

The food was really good - I had sushi, so I was happy! Back at the apartment someone had taken care of the cake and we sang happy birthday. 

Since there is no public transport in town, and it is an absolute no-go to actually walk down to the bars, someone has come up with an alternative way of transportation. 

Usually there is one or two people who stay sober until we get to the bars so they can actually drive down there, but when that is not the case, you can call the "Tipsy Transit". 

Tipsy Transit is a minibus fully equipped with couches inside, and they will take you wherever you need to go. You pay 5$ for a one-way ticket and 7$ for a return trip. They will pick you up where you are, take you where you want to go, and get you back when you want to go home. 

It is a pretty clever alternative to the more expensive taxis, the only disadvantage is that sometimes you have to wait a while for them to have time to pick you up, but when you are a big group that doesn't really matter.
