It was quite exhausting running around like headless chickens looking for an apartment over the weekend. But we managed to close it on sunday evening and also moved most of our stuff. So in the evening, a friend who helped us move and I were walking around downtown, thirsting for a chilled beer. We saw this charming outdoor place with nice umbrellas, chi chi decor. Well dressed twenty somethings were guzzling beer from what appeared to be oversized beer bottles. We gravitated towards it. It is only after we sat down and asked for the menu, we noticed the writings on the umbrellas: 'DRINK SPARKLING WATER'.

I couldn't believe my eyes! Half the crowd was paying good money to drink mineral water.
