Day 20 – 20-02-10

That night we went to Estação da Luz (disco far away from our home). We had to take a bus to get there, and we had some problems finding it. At our map it said the bus station was quite far away, but in fact it was really close to Forum. When we finally found the bus, people were smoking inside. The Portugal people smoke everywhere, I wonder if they know that smoking can kill (like everything else)… Some of the people inside looked quite young, but I’m not really good at judging peoples’ age, but as my friend say: “they must be 18 to get in, right?” Well I guess so…
We had some problems getting in, because no one has told us that we have to be signed up on some stupid list, and that you have to bring some girls too… It was raining and we couldn’t get home until the bus arrives at 4.30am…it was only 2am, and we had already given up, even the group next to us, who didn’t have “enough” girls tried to pull some girls into their group. We had no chance at all, and everybody there always excused themselves that they did not speak English… We gave up, and found a cab. The driver wanted 89Euroes for driving us back to Aveiro, yeah right! It shouldn’t cost that much, so we decided to make a walk around the little city. There was nothing to see except for expensive houses. We went back, and we took the chance to get in again, and finally we passed the guards and they let us in.
It was a quite big place dominated by some electronic club music. The disco was separated in the middle, but with no walls or whatever, saying that which part you may smoke in… You could also just look at the floor, if you were in doubt of which part you where at.
People or the ones I’ve met knew how to speak English, huh, what are the odds for that if no one at the entrance knew how to speak English… Seems like some people don’t want to be bothered, so they use that for an excuse… Well, I spoke with some people there, and got a lot of information about the Portuguese people and things I should experience while I was here. I should definitely try old traditional dishes, and something else that I have forgot.
We went at 6am, because that was the last bus home. I think we had a great time there even though we had some problems at the beginning, and oh yea, I found out that a cab to Aveiro shouldn’t cost more than 10Euroes…and that you could enter the disco without being on the list and having a girl, but you have to pay 90Euroes…like anyone is that stupid…
