Jacks Birthday

Last week was Ron's co - worker Jack's birthday! It was fun.Ron and another co - worker (David) went to the grocery store and bought some fruit like cantalope and pineapple and grapes to make Jack a fruit salad and they also got a cheesecake to take to work.I drew a little happy birthday card and Ron and all his co workers signed it for Jack.So they had a small birthday celebration for Jack at the office and then in the evening we all went downtown together. Originally we were going to go get dinner together but that idea got scratched and we ended up at this pool hall. Which is really weird because Sweden is not like Huntington Beach.In Sweden all the stores close at 6pm.So if you want to go downtown at night you can either go to dinner .. or go to a bar.Or better yet , the adults go to dinner and all the kids go to the bar ... and the pool hall.The drinking age here is 18 and older.So , we did not go to dinner , and we ended up at this pool hall.You would not believe this place - it was hilarious! It was a pool hall AND a conveinient store with snacks and magazines AND it was a video rental AND an internet cafe !!! It was a pretty cool spot.Ron and I played about three rounds of pool and we had two pool tables going in our group and there were some other couples with us along with Jack and Sam who are single.So that lasted about an hour or so .Looking around us we started to notice that everyone else in the place was really young! The kids had to have been around 16 or 17 years old.So we left that place and headed downtown to a bar/restaurant called PM ( It stands for pub and mat) .This place was empty , but it was early and they were playing good music and there were nice areas to sit in and you could still talk over the music , so it seemed like a great spot.Of course someone in our group of friends ordered Jack this super fruity silly blue drink - so we got a picture of that.Haha. We stayed there for a little while and then some of the guys with us were getting antsy because there were no girls there .. haha ... of course! So we left PM and went down to another bar called PlayBar . This place was super loud , music blaring , strobe lights , huge flat screen tvs everywhere and alot more crowded.We got there and it was difficult to find anywhere to sit . Ron and I started to get a little annoyed and then finally a group of people left and we grabbed this long couch for us all to sit on.Ron and I werent drinking but we were having fun watching everyone else drink.At one point some of the guys were drinking this drink that was a shot of red wine in a glass full of whiskey ... yuck!! Well , we ended up going home early but we had fun and here are the pictures from our night ..
