Later I found one for 40000t in Eurasia. Entertainment: I tried to find a place where expats go to have a beer. Previously I went to Sligo Irish Bar. I went there on a Saturday from 10-12 pm and the place was quiet and without any soul and no expats. I tried Guns and Roses and the cover charge was 3500t to enter and you get a small glass of champagne and a very small t-shirt. Then I tried Chelsea English Pub from 10-12pm and I was the only person in the pub except for the barman and staff in the kitchen.
