Typically, the clubs in Thimphu are packed. Mongar was a different story.
When we arrived, the place was empty — sofas and chairs on each side, deserted floor, everyone just staring at each other while drinking beer and listening to old tacky Bollywood songs.
The DJ was somewhat immersed in his own favourite tracks. Until the ladies finally yelled: “DJ, play party song sii jda!”
And here's the thing — he wasn't even using the laptop in front of him. He was playing off his phone. We could hear the notification sound mid-song whenever a message came in.
Eventually everyone got exhausted and sat on the couches, hoping for something decent. The DJ assumed everyone was resting, so he started watching movies on YouTube. In the middle of the club.
At some point, everyone had to yell: “DJ OUT! DJ OUT!”
That DJ left the stage playing a random party song from YouTube. Hahahahaha.
And then — a bald bouncer in a black t-shirt and black gloves ran through the club carrying a mopping stick.
What a night.
