Random Scrap:
A much better place, which I had only discovered a few weeks earlier, was a bar called Tipsy Bear. It was just a ten-minute walk away from my flat, and it was where Miko was waiting for me on Friday evening. Miko was also Polish, and we first met three or weeks ago earlier - I was sitting by myself at the table, and he started chatting with me, so we became friends.
The bar was holding a drag show that evening and the only seats available were at the front of the stage. I felt a bit too exposed, so I started drinking my beers a bit faster than usual. I suddenly received a message from S. He was also at the bar, sitting at a table around the corner. He was on a date, but that did not prevent me from ordering a round of margaritas for the three of us and drinking together.
The show turned into Karaoke, and then everything came to an abrupt end in line with new health regulations and closing times. We stopped by a local Spati to get more supplies and ended up in my place along with a couple of strangers.
