Shacking Home
First, the old Soba Park bar, situated on Buea Road (which could be compared to the Southside in Pittsburgh or Temple Bar in Dublin), is now called Shacking Home. To "shack" means to drink mimbo (alcohol). The place is under new management and is dope. The front is an open porch area and in the back is a dance floor with a DJ every weekend (maybe every night). Naturally we made friends with the DJ after being there for a few minutes and then mayhem erupted. Next thing is mass dancing and here the DJ gives talks over the music (in French) because a lot of the club bangers are from the Ivory COast and that is francophone territory. So once we hit the dance floor, all i could hear was every song dedicated to "my American friend, Mr. Justin" and then some French...At first it was clownin but after a while it got a bit old...still a good time no doubt. Picking up some pretty killer dance moves ((REGAN (S) get ready for a dance off when i get back)).
