What I do admire about this restaurant and bar is the interior decoration. The entrance shown here gives a good visual of better things to come.

Glenmorangie, the usual sponsor for events held at SOHO.

Walking through towards the entrance of the bar. Branding everywhere as you can see.

Inside was packed with minimal room to maneuver. You won’t find a dedicated dance floor, so be prepared to rock it from where you’re seated.

Peeping through the bar.

First performance of the night was a quick 10-15min dance by these ladies.

Followed by a dance group using glow sticks in their act.

This fella was one of the main performers for the night. A few girls were screaming for him, so I’m guessing he’s some known local singer.

Audience getting excited for the next act.

This young lady I believe won the Shanghai version of ‘American Idol’.

Her voice was pretty good, and she sang some tough English songs.

One of the last performances of the night. I was beat after 4 hours, but it was the hip-hop music between each show that kept me going. Although SOHO is not my preferred nightlife locations it may be worthwhile to check out.

was the phrase I was hoping some kind Chinese citizen would offer me as I was being soaked in rain today. Instead I found myself mooching off people’s umbrellas by standing or walking close, but not close enough to frighten or cause discomfort. Heard that it’s supposed to snow sometime this week as well, which is a good thing I won’t be here for it. Keep posted to see where I’ll be…

Don’t know how many of you get late night seafood cravings, I usually don’t, but this sure hit the spot last night. Shouning road is a small stretch of street filled with cheap seafood vendors and usually a handful of tourists who get recommended to come here. Besides seafood, we also had sticks of lamb, chicken bone, chicken wings, and a bottle of beer for a grand total 90 RMB for the night.
