winnipeg

I was on a business trip to Winnipeg, Manitoba. It was in the middle of the prairie states, some said it was in the middle of the North American land mass. It was in the middle of nowhere, and absolutely nothing to do! And I had to work and sleep there for three weeks!

I normally got off work at 5:00pm. I went to bed at 11:00pm, how do I kill 6 hours here? It was bitterly cold, -50C. What could I do to keep myself entertained?  I knew: 'I do the locals do!' I stayed in this historic Union Pacific Rail Road hotel, in the center of the city. Surprisingly, there were quite few night clubs around. I was very shocked to see that girls with bare legs and high heels walking in the snow just outside the night clubs, I was wearing three pants! I wondered how they managed....

I walked in one of the clubs... it was dim, there are few customers around. I guess it is too early.. Where I came from, the clubs would not be alive until 10:00 pm at night. Then, this cold place, who knew... I settled myself down at a table near the restrooms. You might ask, why did you do that? Because the hallway to the restroom was famously known as "the bacholor's alley": boys and girls looking for action congregated there. It was the best seat in the house. I ordered a drink, and my dinner and waited...

Just then, a fresh air rushed in. A group of girls in uniforms come in and sit at table next to me. They seem excited, chatting loudly. I asked the girl closet to me: "You guys are happy. What happened?" "We just won the college Ringlets Championship!" "What Ringlets?" "Oh, you don't know? Where are you from?" "I am here on business from the states, but I was from China originally." "No wonder, those people in the States don't know this either." She continued ' Ringlets is a sports similar to Hockey, but played only by the girls. Instead of a puck, you have a donut shaped ring, and you use a stick to move it around!" "That sounds interesting! May I buy you a drink to celebrate?" "Why not?" She said cheerfully. Just then the waitress annouced the special shots, two dollars a shot until mid-night. "That's great, girls, why do I buy you all a shot!" A cheer broke out. I guess everyone is happy and I am happy, too.

I don't remember how many shots we had... but I was one of them now.. so all the liquors are flying.. we yelled, we sang, we laugh, we danced and we passed out. I do remember telling them I stayed in the hotel next door. And I do remember we finally left the club. The next morning I woke up. I was not in my bed. I am sitting in the armchair next to the bed. And there are 5 strangers on my bed. I got up, feeling the hang-over headaches, walking slowly towards the bathroom. There are two more in my bath tub! I have to pee, so I said to them, " Do you mind? I have to pee." But no one respond to me. I certainly do not have the strength to carry them out. So I just pull down my pants and let myself go.

I finally managed to wake the two in the bathtub and convince them to go sit on the chair I was sitting. I locked myself in the bathroom; try to figure out what had happened in my head. Nothing. So I took a shower, went outside, pick up my clothes, and just walked out. I have to go to work. Well, by the time I got back to the hotel room that night, everyone is gone. The bed is perfectly made and nothing seemed happened at all. I said to myself: "I love maid service! I should have that at home!"

我去一个狗不拉屎的地方出差，要自己吃饭睡觉拉屎三个星期。。。冬天天黑的早，我冷得睡不着觉，如何打发从下午5点到晚上11点着无聊的6个小时呢？入乡随俗，我也要逛酒吧。虽然打冷天，当地的美人儿穷的不穿裤子，而我穿了三条，她们会不会打我的主意？

我找了一个人们去拉屎必经的地方坐下，叫了吃的喝的，等着来要拉屎的人。。。酒过三巡，空气开始变得暧昧起来，苏三，我回头一看，哦，你认错人了。心想，你这屎样也敢来勾我！

进来了几个疯女孩，她们迷一种用棒棒追一个有洞的圆圈的冰上游戏。我听着也很感兴趣，于是跟她们攀谈了起来。边喝边聊，最后我跟她们一起疯了，怎么回旅馆的记不清了，只记得醒来的时候。。。后来我要上班，上班的时候一直惦记着那些不穿裤子的美女。下班回来后她们人去床空。唉，艳遇有时候真是黄粱一梦。。。
