After work I met Somchai at the Establishment Bar in the lobby of the Establishment Hotel. The hotel is actually a rare contradiction to my opening Sydney post bemoaning the lack of unique hotels. The Establishment is a small boutique hotel with about twenty loftlike rooms in the CBD. But the lodging is something of an afterthought, as the hotel has bunch of very popular bars and restaurants which are the real moneymakers. The lobby bar is constantly packed and very rowdy, a popular meeting place for Sydney yuppies after work, which means about 3 pm here.
