Though we were all pretty beat after a long week, after several glasses of wine at the FNCC it seemed like a good idea to continue the evening adventure. We ended up at a bar in the city centre called El Cubano – I saw more Europeans and foreigners at the bar than I think I have for the two weeks I’ve been in Windhoek. The soundtrack was quite a bit of Ne-Yo, some American hip-hop, a bit of salsa music, and some house music. Random, but fun. I do need a lesson in ordering drinks here, apparently. They serve liquor and soda separate, so when I ordered three Jack & Diets, I got three cans of Coca-Cola light and three glasses of whiskey, and this was after quite a long discussion with the bar tender about exactly what I wanted.
El Cubano reminded me of our of our Geneva study group’s favorite stomping grounds in Perpignan – El Habana club. What is it about Cuban bars that make them tourist / American magnets? Is it like a Cuban cigar – Americans are particularly fond of it just cause we can’t get it here? At any rate, El Cubano Windhoek gave me a nice flash back to my summer in the Perp with the Geneva group. Was that really six years ago?
