Once I work at the restaurant. There were a couple of Mexican employees work with me then. I mainly work at the weekend, Friday and Saturday afternoon. We were bonding pretty well, even though we speak different languages. They are pretty nice, and friendly. We can joke together, and work cooperatively. Sometimes, they may teach me some Spanish, and I was impressed my learning speed. After a couple of months, I can communicate with them; but with broken Spanish to be honest. Thanks to their help, and my long - purchase Spanish - English dictionary. On one Saturday night, before we took off from work, we were discussing places to go to have fun, except escort services. They suggested me that if I was interested in going to Latino night clubs, where you can drink especially their favorite. You can dance with girls, they didn’t tell me much about this part before I agreed to go. So, we agree to go after work. The reason we opted to go to Latino club because they couldn’t speak much of English, and we prefer to go to a venue that speak Spanish mostly.

I drove then. I was nervous when we arrived, because at the front door, there were a line of people lining up to be body - check by the security. I realized that I am the only one who is not Latino, and some of them stared at me, which makes me little bit of more nervous, won’t I be picked on a fight later? I also saw that most people went there don’t have valid driver’s license. Most of them have a Mexican forged license of some sort. But they were passed by the Security guard. The entrance fee was $10 per person, and another ticket person collected the money, and take a look at me with strange look. We went in there, there were a huge crowd of people, and most tables were seated. There were a center floor for people to dance. My friends ordered a bottle of Corona for each one of us, I was relief a little, while everyone was busy at chatting and talking to girls.

We were luckily found a table sitting at the back, and we could pull some chairs from other tables. There were nice good looking waitress came over from time to time to check on us, if we need anything else. I told my friend that she is nice. And my friend told me that I can ask her to dance, and she will agree. I didn’t know what he really meant, and I just say “no”, because I shouldn’t ask anyone to dancer since she is working now. Later, a friend of mine demonstrate how it can. There were over 20 girls standing on the walkway, all with nice dress. All I saw was my friend came over, and talk to her, she then extended her hand and they went to floor and dancing. The Latino music was not familiar to me, and I won’t understand any of these. After a couple of songs, they return, and my friend hand over some money to her. I asked why, they told me then, if we want to dance with a girl here, we have to pay $5 for exchange per song. And then, I was “wow”, that’s how it works out here. Because most of these girls weren’t legal, even they have day time job, it won’t help much to pay the living. So, they opted to dance with men at night, to make extra cash. And this business is pretty flourished, there were thousands of men willing to pay the fee to get a dance from these lovely ladies. Some girl might even make $300 to $500 a night. The trade - off is you couldn’t prevent the perverts and the drunk. I was encouraged by my friends to ask the waitress to dance. I was horrible, since I got here, I have to try something new. So I agree, pay $5 to dance with the waitress who doesn’t even speak English at all. It was a weird night.

I went to a couple of these clubs later on, but I won’t go again, because too much violence going in these clubs. Most of these Mexicans couldn’t control their drinking habits, and they were easily got drunk and start the fighting. Some fight for the girls, some fight because too drunk. Whatever reason, it wasn’t safe to go in there. And I felt sorry for these ladies. they might make a lot of money from these venues, but they were taken advantage by these drunk men most the time, and they can endure such shames.

I guess it is harder to find a job without a valid ID, and the only quick way to make cash is from here.
