Skin Problems?
I live very close to a night market, in an area of town densely populated by students and the like. Its a pretty happening place until late into the evening. Nonetheless the most happening place in my neighbourhood isn’t a food stall, restaurant, bar, or shop. No, the place that really attracts droves of patrons is a doctor’s clinic. Its a dermatology clinic right around the corner from my house which has people lined up down the street until 1 in the morning. Gaggles of people hang about near the entranceway, chatting on their mobile phones.
I’m always tentative to walk through the crowds as I envision every individual has a dermatological ailment of some sort which I might catch if I get too close to them. If I do have to walk through the crowds I hold my breath so as not to inhale any potential rash causing germs. God forbid I should get a rash on my oh-so-pretty lungs. I don’t know what the incredible popularity of this clinic has to say about the Taiwanese, apart from the fact that many of them have dermatological ailments and stay out late. What I do know is that the place has the outward appearance of a nightclub. All they need is a red velvet rope, and some big-necked male nurse checking people at the door. Come to think of it, I reckon a medical themed night club would go down like gangbusters in some cities. Patrons would wear med-fetish wear, or adopt ailments for the evening. A whole slew of thematically named drinks are made possible, as is intimate booth style seating in 'examination' rooms. I give free reign to any enterprising entrepreneur to pursue this further. I just want complimentary entry when you open for business.
