E&K - First combo - Dancing in the sky...
Background: I have had 3 e's before, well spaced out. I am travelling at the moment and recently had the chance to have a big Friday night out with some happy friends in a strange land (Taiwan)... and try Ketamine.
Drugs: Two different e pills, one blue & one yellow if I remember correctly. Definitely MDMA, no MDA type lighting effects and all the jaw-clenching fun normally associated with goodies! The Ketamine came in little vials, around 2cm long with a diameter of perhaps 5mm. I have no idea about purity.
-------------------------
[ Friday ]
4pm: Got on bus to the city of Friday night happiness (which we will call 'tee-zee').
6:30ish: Arrived, met up with mate, killed an hour or two bludging around and going to grab a quick bite at a nightmarket. I didn't eat anything, but drank water.
9:00ish: Went to some kind of weird party, heaps of alcohol consumption was going on. Had a couple of mixed drinks, but got the distinct impression that most people there were abosolute drug ABusers, and were strung out and acting irrationally. Suspicions confirmed a while later, and I wound up leaving. Mate had left an hour earlier to deal with girlfriend.
I walked for ages across the city, drinking heaps of water and eating a small amount of street food (tofu baby!).
10:50: Met mate again, went to a classy loungey bar place. Had a single, small glass of champagne, which took a long time to consume.
[ Saturday ]
12:00ish: Mate leaves to pick up two other friends who have just arrived by bus in the city of happiness and will be going out...
12:30: They return.
1:06: Bit an e and ate half each with my mate. Two other friends (mate and his girlfriend) that had just arrived did not partake, to my knowledge. Later it turned out that the local mate had given a pill to the recently arrived mate's girlfriend.
1:35-45: Effects come on strong. If this was anything to go by, Taiwanese pills are not weak at all. Tried dancing in the loungey place (not afraid to make a fool of ourselves in front of all the classy guests), as there were really cool 3d visuals projected on a wall. Didn't get far, as music sucked and the DJ was less than obliging when we asked - obviously shattered - about a music change.
2:00 or before: Raced by cab / local guy's bike (yeah, I dunno how/why he drove on e ... suppose it's not nearly as bad as drink-driving...) to a new venue. It was a really full nightclub at the top of the tallest tower in the city. Got in for free (foreigners free - heh!) .. and found the local mate already on the dance floor.
Time get blurry from here. There was dancing, but after a shortish time two of my friends (the recent comers) vanished. The other mate told me that the girl he gave the pill too was sick, which I put down to the massively alcoholic shaved-ice/artificial fruit flavoured cocktail she somehow downed at the last venue. I tried a tiny bit, and felt repulsed.
I felt quite bad about it, as I had been telling them happy ecstasy stories when the effects first hit, but knew that was the reason and there was nothing I could do about it. Later they returned and she did a bit of dancing, but still felt crap. Bummer. They left for a hotel after not too long.
Dancing and music was great, heaps of friendly locals on the dance floor, some shattered some not. As per usual, by the time I'd gotten started I looked as if I'd been swimming - I sweat so much!
At some point my local mate gave me the other half of the e. Later on he gave me another E, which I gobbled down without thinking. Thus, I had 2 in total. The K, which earlier I had decided not to use, did not seem such a stupid idea after all, and I had a small pile licked off the back of my hand.
That was where some real weirdness started. Instead of dancing in a nighclub on top of a tower, which was opaque and may as well have been underground, suddenly lights from tables around the dance floor blurred and merged in to a spectacular cityscape - as seen from a tower above, at night. Lights stretched out in all directions, and it was suddenly as if I was dancing on a transparent platform suspended in the sky! With the E, I felt a great love for all the people in the city, and was happy to dance up there and see the world stretching out before me...
In reality, I suppose I probably stopped dancing for awhile, or went very slow for awhile as the K hit or wore off. Maybe I didn't make it off the couch where I took it for awhile? In any case, I had another hit later, but I don't remember what the effects on perception were.
I do remember making at least 5 trips out of the place to get water, which was hideously expensive inside. I also bought about 3 hideously expensive bottles inside, and chatted to the managers of the place due to my all things lovin' MDMA attitude... obviously they were used to people taking things, and were positively cheerful when I congratulated them on the place!
Danced with some really nice local girls too, which was fun. Would perhaps have been better if one knew the local social norms / language better.
8:30AM or so: The place closed, which was a real bummer. The surviving patrons descended the tower together, passing passed-out and sleeping dancers from earlier in the morning. I couldn't believe it was light.
Realised that one of the girls we were with had a badass dragon tat down her arm, and then saw her hitting on my local friend. Err .. well I'm sure he'll be careful there! Had more to drink, then went back to local mate's girlfriend's place. Had a shower. Music was playing from CD, some kind of dancey/trancey stuff... I had been to the place before, and it was very comfy there on the couch...
9:00 - 10:00 or so: Had more ketamine, snorted, in at least two hefty lines. I'm not sure how much, but I remember consciously choosing not to open my eyes for the burden of 'reality', but to stay in the imagined visuals...
I don't remember all of them, but they included....
As the K wore off (or maybe between lines?), I became aware of my mate and girlfriend screwing in the extreme limits of my vision. I'm not sure if they were actually in the same room or not, or whether I just heard the noise from the neighbouring bedroom and my mind put them there. In any case, I could hear them whispering. At one point I think I heard something like "dont worry hes too fucked" ... heh!
10:00-11:30: Danced to the CD. I was still very much E'd, but the effects wore off towards the end of this time.
11:30 or 12:00: Mate drove me to bus stop for my bus out of happyland ... I slept the whole way. Got 'home' around 4pm, did some stuff, slept awhile, and woke up around 2am Sunday. Felt aching in my limbs (from all the exercise, I guess), which the K had probably dimmed earlier. Pretty soon I was off to the airport.....
-----------------------------
Conclusion
Although this was my 4th time on E, it was my first time to use it and dance for a long time. Previously I'd had it at parties/home/nightclub then gone off to shag... so ... interesting! Though I was by no means clearheaded at the time, I think I prefer it in the previous environments .. its social / empathy effects seem a little wasted dancing with strangers whose language on can't really speak!
For prospective K users, I would suggest having a sober friend around that can warp out your environment with light switches/colour filters and things if you're not the paranoia-prone type. It certainly made things interesting for me!

I don't remember all of them, but they included....
- worms swimming through the ceramics of a remembered toilet bowl (maybe I took K in the toilet earlier and dont remember?)
- some kind of world where my physical arm movements (of which I was still conscious) effected the imagined, vertically-scrolling visuals generated by my brain in time to the real-world music as I heard it. Wacky! I think the inspiration for this was those arcade dance games you see, with graphics coming and going with physical movements and music playing...
- every time something major changed in the room, at least during one point of ketamine effects, it completely altered my perspective on the environment. for example, the light going on or off absolutely shattered my view of the room. it was as if i had been teleported to a new place. also, friend's girlfriend put up a large pattern-dyed banner on the opposite wall at one point, which was a source of fascination...
As the K wore off (or maybe between lines?), I became aware of my mate and girlfriend screwing in the extreme limits of my vision. I'm not sure if they were actually in the same room or not, or whether I just heard the noise from the neighbouring bedroom and my mind put them there. In any case, I could hear them whispering.
