Night Life

As it is Monday morning, and my weekend is now over, it might be a good time to write about the night life in London. I am 22, so I have been able to get into any place I have wanted to for the last couple of years. I've noticed that there are distinct differences between the night life in every major city. A night out in Berlin, Germany is going to be a lot different than a not out in Honolulu for example. The two things that really stand out about London are 1) The crazy hours and 2) The crazy prices.

In Honolulu, basically every bar or club closes around 4am in Waikiki, and around 2am downtown. Most places do not really have a cover, but if they do it wont really be too much more than $10. London is much different. All of the bars I have found so far close by 11 on weekdays and midnight on weekends. Then, if you want to stay out, your only option is to head to a club. Some of the clubs will stay open until 4 or 5, but you will have to pay a pretty steep cover charge. Most are between 10 and 20 pounds, aka, 16-32 US dollars. 

London is definitely an extremely fun city with a very active nightlife, however, it is worth noting that it can get expensive quick.

London

Hey everyone,

So I am currently living in London for the semester as part of AIFS study abroad. I've been here just over three weeks, and now that I'm all settled in, I might as well start up a blog.

Basically, the first week I was here was dedicated to meeting everyone in the dorm, and doing lots of orientation kind of stuff. Since there were no classes, we also had plenty of time to do all of the touristy stuff. I got to go up in the London Eye, visit Stonehenge, and check out the Roman Baths.

The next week classes started. I have class every day during the week starting at 10:30. Normally I'm done by 5, so I have plenty of time to explore the city. Now that I got all of the tourist stuff out of the way, I am excited to start experiencing the city that way the locals do.

Well, I just wanted to make a quick introductory post. London is fun. Should only be more fun in the future. My next class starts in 30 minutes, and I'm trying to get tickets to a Tottenham Hotspur futbol (soccer) game before class, so I'm going to leave you here. I'll be posting a lot more in the future.

Shoots,
Sam
