Have you ever been to a strip club? If not that too is an experience you should have at least once in your life lol.
Never as in never been to a bar even to eat bar food? :O
Lol, that sounds like quite the adventurous night! Some people have said gay bars/clubs are the best place to pick up girls because they never expect to get hit on and there's very little competition. XD
And oh man, isn't sex shop perusing with friends the most amusing? Especially if they don't know what something is and you have to explain it!
I have not. If the nighclub scene is outside of my realm of comfort, I can't imagine a strip club being any better. I suppose there is a bucket list check mark to be checked though. : D
Only once have I been to a bar to eat food outside of Head-Fi meets (see below).
I don't think picking someone up at a gay bar/nightclub would be my ideal choice. lol
My Indian classmate was so confused as to how people can get pleasure from floggers. XXD
I guess bars and clubs aren't as big a thing on American universities? Most UK ones have their own student bars and nightclubs built into the student union building(s). Alcohol isn't typically served at the bars until after 9ish, though you can get food and a pint on a campus pub at any time of day.
Society events pretty much revolved around nights out on bar/pub crawls and nightclubs, at least for the societies I was a member of. Even the Chinasoc/HKsoc had night out at clubs, in addition to the more common Hot Pot night.
I don't think there are any rules against alcohol in UK universities accommodation just as long as you aren't being a nuisance and drinking out of a value store vodka in the main lobby, then again the legal drinking age is 18, which is the same age most people go to university.
I find the loudness at bars/clubs fairly tolerable unless I get dragged into dance around the main front speakers...that's always guaranteed ringing for a few days. The difficulty in talking helps with picking up girls (or guys) though since you basically have to be mouth to ear to talk, or you drag them off to a quieter area.
Ya, as Mechy said, we're not exactly the most social of folks out there. XD
They're generally pretty popular for the average folk I'd say. Like when I turned 21, I just had a nasty Qingdao with my parents at Chinese hot pot. My brother didn't even venture to try a beer when he turned 21. Nothing crazy like most people here. My family just isn't the drinking type.
I don't have very many friends who drink, and for those that do, I've declined every offer so far except one and that was during lunch hour, so no crazy stuff.
