Dress code
I’m back at work feeling much better today. Boy I tell you though, yesterday was no Mardi Gras in Rio- I had a crazy fever and was sweating like OJ Simpson on the witness stand.
With the high temperature came a load of weird dreams- including one about a grown man in the Bund Brewery who’d gone out drinking wearing his Mickey Mouse pyjamas.
It couldn’t have been real. Could it?
the Chinese Hugh Hefner!
No James we all imagined it together. There’s something in that beer.
I’m not sure OJ took the stand, 5th amendment and all that. Didn’t help much though.
It could be worse, at least he’s not carrying a feminine man bag!
Why’s he wearing a watch, that’s what I want to know
“Hey Ming-Ming, are you coming out for a pint?”
“Well I’m wearing my Donald Duck Jimmy Jams, but why not. Oh hang on, I’d better put my watch on.”
You’re seeing things. Must be the fever. Go back to bed after your beer.
Colin- was it you drilling a hole in your ceiling at 2pm yesterday when I was trying to get some sleep?
If so, I’ve got a stick with a nail pointing out of it that wants a word with your head.
Hahaha you of all people aren’t qualified to write pithy posts about people going to pubs in funny clothes!!!!
I seem to remember a certain 100 RMB challenge!!!
Maybe this guy was also taking up the 100RMB challenge, trying to have a night out in an outfit under 20RMB.
Now there’s a challenge for you and your blogging posse.
Don’t have a go at us Maxie just because you dress under 50 rmb on a normal day!
It’s one thing going out on a bet with a group of similary dressed people, but this chap was out for a quiet pint with one other guy.
Funnily enough, before we hit on the 150 challenge, the original idea was Pyjamas- but I think it’s been done before (by the sadly missed “Bananas” club)
SPAMMED OFF

Spam alert!!
I want to go to the pub in my jim-jams. That’d be wonderful.
All I’m saying is that he might not be an eccentric Shanghai-er, but an iSpyShanghai fan.
rubbish maxie, did you not see how stylish we were on the 150 challenge? this guy just looks like an idiot.
Personally I like to think that there’s a hospital next to the pub, he’d just had a liver transplant and had sneaked out of the toilet window for a quick couple of pints
Live the dream Liam!!!!!
Sounds more like something you would do Dingle!
well, yes..
Ah, it wasn’t that long ago that the wife and I did a pajamas night out – Tina’s Birthday Party
What amazed us is that we got less looks from the Chinese then we usually would as two normally dresses laowai’s. It is something quite liberating to wander the streets in your PJ’s, and I agree with Maxie that you make that the focus of your next theme night out….
I think the guy is pretty smart! He is prepared to get drunk then he’ll just fall on his face and pass out with his MM PJs. He’s got the logical thinking covered!
Maybe that is the Chinese version of the Mumu? Like when Homer from the Simpsons got fat and decided to wear one.
Sorry must be my ayi. She’s putting up the sling, power lifting and fixing my pipes while we speak. Go back to sleep.
