Madrid nights

Thursday night, we went to Club Kapital, multi-level discotheque. A few levels are lounges or karaoke bars, and the main level plays club music while another plays American hip-hop. People were dancing, but still, it seems that us Americans were the most enthusiastic about it, hah. Living up to expectations, the guys here are pretty forward; all the sudden I would look around, and just about all the girls I came with had been accosted by some Spaniard, haha.

On Friday, we went bar hopping around Sol, just walking around, tons of promoters will ask you to come into their bar/club. We only went into the ones that offered us a free shot, hah. Of course the shots were almost all sugar water, but it was still fun to go in, get our chupito, and leave. By the end of the night, when places were filling up, we did have to pay for a couple drinks, but still, a nice cheap night..
Saturday, we purchased a bottle of Smirnoff and some Fanta, and participated in botellón. The youth of Madrid gather in various plazas and sit in circles to drink and talk. We met some Madrileños who taught us some rude colloquial terms, heh.

As a result of staying out until 6 or 7, I definitely slept much of Friday and Saturday. Honestly, it seems like the norm here though, and I do not even feel guilty about it, haha.
