I last visited My Way at least 5 years ago, maybe 8.
Hearing about it again recently, I walked by on Monday (21 Jan) evening around 10.30 pm. Found the door locked, the neon signboard switched off.
I had no intention of trying again, but by chance found myself at the Jim Thompson corner Tuesday night, so strolled the short distance to look again. This was about 11.30 pm. The neon signboard was on!
The door however was wide open, the airconditioning off, the full fluorescent lights on, showing the place to be utterly drab and uninviting. One semi-dressed short old man was cleaning the bar counter. He seemed almost shocked to see me arrive. "Closed?" I asked him. But before he could answer, a slim younger guy, fully dressed, with baseball cap, darted out from further inside, and pointing to his own chest, said to me "Take me?"
There seemed no one else to choose from. I said, "Maybe next time."
