Hooters (yes, exactly what you're thinking)

On Saturday, a number of my classmates and myself sat the HSK exams - HSK stands for 汉语水平考试, and is a proficiency test for Mandarin. The only reason we sat it was because it was free - normally you have to pay around 5-600元, but they'd recently made some changes so we were able to sit it for free. It was split into two sections, and in total went for nearly 5 hours.

There is nothing quite like getting up at 7am on a Saturday to sit an exam that isn't even compulsory. It really takes something out of you. So... we went to Hooters. Now, for those that aren't aware of Hooters, it is an American institution comprising of meat, beer and buxom girls is little clothing. And a Hooters had recently opened in Beijing, so we thought it was the perfect place to celebrate a job well done on the HSK.

The food was great, service was very enthusiastic, and the entertainment... entertaining. Our waitress was a girl called Cice (pronounced C-C). I had the chicken caesar salad, which I was very excited about. We also ordered for the table 50 chicken wings, which we hardly made a dent in. Every half an hour the girls do a little dance in the aisles. Very entertaining. We even told them it was Hokky's birthday, and they made him get up on a stool while they sang Happy Birthday and embarrassed the hell out of him.
