Vida de la Noche Mexicana

(Mexican Nightlife)

So here's a post on my observation of Mexican nightlife (I've decided to stop calling them quick because they never are quick posts). First someone was explaining to me that the big nights to go out are primarily Tuesday, Friday and some Saturday. That means no thirsty Thursdays over here for all you college students, lol. We kind of learned this the hard way as we went to el Zocalo on Thursday night only to find that all the major clubs were closed. We spent a little time at a tiny bar but found it too cramped to really enjoy. Luckily there was a decent bar near Adrian and my place called El Bull so we went there to chill and listen to a live band cover some american rock (I know I know, who goes to Mexico to listen to rock? It's what a lot of people were craving at the time).

I want to give a shoutout to katers for the list of places to go all over Cuernavaca, it's been way helpful, as well as thank all the other Cuernavaca vets that have given me their buenos consejos (good advice).

So Friday night we tried again with some better success. I went out with some of the CSU Stanislaus girls earlier in the evening then we moved to Juarez where I met up with SMC peeps. Lemme just say that Mexican young adults love their techno. It's a lot like hip hop in the U.S. It's really all they play in most of the clubs. It's fun but gets very repetitive after a bit. The night at Juarez kicked off with a fun surprise which I won't spoil for those of you considering going next year (just make sure to get a table before midnight if you go there!)

I don't really go out that much in the States, but it's definitely fun to do so, especially on an experience like this where you're trying to meet new people and have a good time.

In Puebla we went out to a place called La Leyenda that was decent, with a live band 5 Soles (they have a myspace page if anyone's curious), except that the waiter's kept trying to rip us off on the bill by writing down a different price than what is on the menu. Advice: Always pay right away when you receive your drink, preferably with a menu in hand rather than running a tab. Saves so much hassle and likely money as well.

Well it's way late so I'mma head to bed now. G'nite!

primarily Tuesday, Friday and some saturday. thanks kate 4 list, and others for their advice, 5soles and the lady singer, don't go out at home much but it's fun to go dancing with friends despite obsession with techno (like american obsession with hip hop), Juarez boom, la leyenda, El Bull
