Trivia Night in Sanya

Every Wednesday is Trivia night in Sanya, and every week it’s held at a new bar. This week it was supposed to be held at an outside bar with a massive projector for the trivia PPT, $1 beers, and I’m hosting - ideal. However, five minutes before we were supposed to start, a massive thunderstorm hit, and we ran through the streets on the beach, trying to find somewhere else to go. With 10 of us huddled inside a small restaurant, we noticed a mini-mart across the street and decided to make a break for it. Soaked, but now inside the mini-mart, we buy beers, towels, and my buddy Dayle buys a completely new outfit. After 10 minutes of waiting, someone suggests we just play the trivia in the mini-mart.

We ask the shop owner, who agrees, but I think he’s just happy that we’re in there buying stuff, gives us chairs and boxes to sit on, and we set up. Invited some other random people sheltering from the rain, and they were in. Divided up the teams, handed out the scoresheets with cardboard to make writing easier, turned on some music, and had one of the best trivia’s I’ve ever been to.

It really was a “this is China” experience, but it was a memorable way to do my last trivia night in Sanya
