After agreeing that consuming the cuisine of Chinatown would be like declaring war on our digestive tracks we decided that a better course of action would be to dine at the hotel. After grabbing the a tuk-tuk back to the hotel we settled on a dinner of cheeseburgers and Norwegian salmon sandwiches chased down by a couple of cold Thai beers. It was a pretty tame way to wrap the evening but when you consider the intensity of the day it was a welcome change.
It did not take long for the lounge band to begin their first set. The band was what looked like a German group going by the name of the Three Mice Trio. Seemed like a silly name and they appeared like they were the typical cruise ship venue you get when you are departing Miami. The piano player was a Captain and Tenille dude without the hat and the 2 blonde singers tag teamed all of the hits from the last 20 years. There were no Aerosmith selections offered despite my repeated requests, but they did settle into the usual Abba and Carpenters routine. It is always interesting listening to foreign singers sing American songs because they don't quite get it right. They over enunciate the words and somehow the accent just does not quite carry over even though their voices were quite good. Why is every bar band has to do Dancing Queen badly!
Can't wait to hear what the lounge act will be in Cambodia.
