Clubbing

Definitely means something different over here. This club had three floors. One with a coat check, the first floor played more… hip hop/pop… sort of. But it seemed a few years back, Justin Timberlake and 50 cent kind of back. None of the newer stuff Fakir would play at studio, haha. The Next floor had a new DJ and more seating. Playing more of an electric and techno type of music. People don’t dance like back home, so fitting in was hard at first. Taking the tram there was fun.  We all went together (mom, you don’t have to worry) and drank on the tram, talk about difficult. Anyway I just danced the night away on Polish vodka (and miraculously have a minimal headache today, which is wonderful). Then wandered with a buddy I made on the plane over from T.O named David. Found an AFTER hours pub, in the (I swear to god) dungeon of some old building in the market playing Red Hot Chili Peppers, so of course I had to check it out. EVERYONE here, if they are up past midnight is drunk, I sweaaaaaar. But I wandered, eventually having to take a cab home, got lost, and finally, FINALLY rolled in after 530 AM, and that’s normal. Oh and going out isn’t expensive here either (mom). Kinga and I split a 750 mL bottle of vodka, and bought a thing of coke, for 30zl, so 15zl each, which equals FIVE DOLLARS at home. Take that Canada. Once out things got pricier, by pricy I mean 20zl for a double, so like 7 dollars, which is like home (and slightly disappointing). Don’t get me started on missing 7-11 taquitos and nachos! There isn’t salsa here either. Anyway, I found a very adequate substitute: Zapiekanka. Think of it… sort of like a pizza bun? Sorta. Mine had chickennnn and lamb maybe? Cabbage (of course) cucumber, tomato, pickles, cheese, and the MOST garlicy sauce I have EVVVVVVER had, and ketchup. Best post (or for us, 230 AM and keep partying) bar food ever! Homesickness hasn’t set in yet, but I am thinking that once it does I will stop using facebook much, so this and email will probably be my main communication. Anyway, I just thought of this now, because I know the girls are using this for updates J. One more night tonight, and I’ll probably write another, just because I will forget! But I desperately need to go grocery shopping so,

I found CANADIANS
