Heck, we though that there might not be any open at all.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">That said, we arrived at a street lined with shop lots that were already closed and lighted only by street lamps. Our guide brought us to a stairway in between two shop lots leading up (which was thankfully not in total darkness). A few of us thought the place seemed shady and were in doubt on whether to trust our\u00a0guide.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Well, they eventually went up the stairs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The moment we reached the 2<sup>nd<\/sup> floor and saw a white door fitted with a glass panel giving us a sneak peek into what\u2019s behind, our hearts and minds were put to rest.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Past the entrance, the space opened up to reveal a pretty little caf\u00e9 with a warm and cozy interior, overlooking the deserted street down below. It was brimming with youth and full of life, unlike the silent emptiness we felt outside. It made me wonder where did all these people come from.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/generic.wordpress.soton.ac.uk\/malaysiacampus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/88\/2017\/06\/DSC_0206JPG.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-1851 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/generic.wordpress.soton.ac.uk\/malaysiacampus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/88\/2017\/06\/DSC_0206JPG-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"DSC_0206JPG\" width=\"560\" height=\"374\" srcset=\"https:\/\/generic.wordpress.soton.ac.uk\/malaysiacampus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/88\/2017\/06\/DSC_0206JPG-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/generic.wordpress.soton.ac.uk\/malaysiacampus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/88\/2017\/06\/DSC_0206JPG-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/generic.wordpress.soton.ac.uk\/malaysiacampus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/88\/2017\/06\/DSC_0206JPG-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 560px) 100vw, 560px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1835\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1835\" style=\"width: 560px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/generic.wordpress.soton.ac.uk\/malaysiacampus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/88\/2017\/06\/210-220-224-238-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1835\" src=\"http:\/\/generic.wordpress.soton.ac.uk\/malaysiacampus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/88\/2017\/06\/210-220-224-238-1-952x1024.jpg\" alt=\"210-220-224-238 (1)\" width=\"560\" height=\"602\" srcset=\"https:\/\/generic.wordpress.soton.ac.uk\/malaysiacampus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/88\/2017\/06\/210-220-224-238-1-952x1024.jpg 952w, https:\/\/generic.wordpress.soton.ac.uk\/malaysiacampus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/88\/2017\/06\/210-220-224-238-1-279x300.jpg 279w, https:\/\/generic.wordpress.soton.ac.uk\/malaysiacampus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/88\/2017\/06\/210-220-224-238-1-768x826.jpg 768w, https:\/\/generic.wordpress.soton.ac.uk\/malaysiacampus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/88\/2017\/06\/210-220-224-238-1.jpg 1860w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 560px) 100vw, 560px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1835\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Drinks and crepe cakes served.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">A deck of cards, desserts, good company, plus the caf\u00e9\u2019s warm ambience were enough to put our minds at ease.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1827\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1827\" style=\"width: 560px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/generic.wordpress.soton.ac.uk\/malaysiacampus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/88\/2017\/06\/DSC_0248.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1827\" src=\"http:\/\/generic.wordpress.soton.ac.uk\/malaysiacampus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/88\/2017\/06\/DSC_0248-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"DSC_0248\" width=\"560\" height=\"840\" srcset=\"https:\/\/generic.wordpress.soton.ac.uk\/malaysiacampus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/88\/2017\/06\/DSC_0248-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/generic.wordpress.soton.ac.uk\/malaysiacampus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/88\/2017\/06\/DSC_0248-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/generic.wordpress.soton.ac.uk\/malaysiacampus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/88\/2017\/06\/DSC_0248-768x1151.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 560px) 100vw, 560px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1827\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Do check out Storyteller&#8217;s Facebook Cafe!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The food <span style=\"text-decoration: line-through\">trip<\/span> battle ended with the three remaining survivors taking on the final boss &#8211;
