Wow, this is getting soooo crazeeeeee! Painted faces and sparklers!!!:

"Bartenders wearing black T-shirts spun bottles and mixed cocktails inside coconut shells. Like the waitresses, they had stripes of colorful makeup dabbed on their left cheeks. “We paint our faces and go all crazy,” said Hari Kalyan, the club’s operating manager..."

"Vaulted ceilings, exposed beams and an expanse of Malaysian tapestries depicting dragons and roosters create the feel of a ceremonial chief’s tent, where sparklers waved around by the wait staff have supplanted peace pipes."

Well, at least now we know what those patterns on the ceiling are!
