By this time, I had hooked up with a chatty Irishman called Marcus. We were eager to catch the evening's rugby matches, so we thought to pop into the Spotted Cow as they might be showing it. Unfortunately, they only had UBC, so it was football or football.
The beer situation was pretty desperate too. I had to have another Halida!
We needed to find somewhere pretty quickly, if we were going to catch the start of the England - Italy game. Aparently, the Hilton were showing it, but when we got there, they announced that UBC weren't showing it. Luckily, a pair of Hanoi expates were walking out at the same time as us, and took us to another hotel (Somerset Grand) and then up to Jaspas Bar on the 4th floor. Within 2 minutes the game had kicked off and I was supping a local stout, called Amber. Much better.
After about 6 of them, I had a few of these.
After the rugby finished I found myself in an Irish bar, but after another pint of Amber (probably), I thought it would be a wise move to go home.
