Thoughts @ 3:15: Birthdays and rooftop patios

I felt very special this year, celebrating my birthday with CharK on a rooftop patio. HK has a number of restaurants, bars and lounges on the balconies of skyscrapers, but neither of us had ever been to one. The view from Sugar`s balcony is really spectacular. Located on the 32nd floor of East Hotel in Taikoo, we had a great view of Kowloon and the Kai Tak airport.

I suppose this is the kind of panorama views you could see living in a penthouse in HK (Photo: CharK)

The nice thing about being out of the way from the crowds in Central and Wan Chai, is that even without reservations, we only waited for about 20 minutes for a seat on the deck on a Friday night. We really lucked out on Friday night, CharK and I got to enjoy our drinks at a corner of the balcony.

Inside the bar there was a DJ playing music but he seemed kinda bored. I suppose in a regular club, there'd be dancing and some interaction with the clients. But here, the bar and couches take up where the dance floor is. Not sure what kinda of music was being played, a mix between funk and dance. But all in all it is a good place to just sit and relax, after a long week.
