Grand Night Out

Yes, it is true what you may have heard, I went out!

The school’s campuscafe organized what was called a kroegentocht which is a ‘pubcrawl’ in English, according to Owen.
What it came down to was that we went to the center of Arnhem with 75 people to go to 5 different cafes/discos/pubs.

Being the nerd that I am, I had never actually properly gone out, so it was my first time, too!
Great fun was had, and plentiful amounts of beer were consumed.

Notable events:

• I had a pint of genuine Guinness at the Irish Pub we visited. Good stuff!
• We went to ‘The Cave’ (if I remember correctly that’s what it was called, anyway). It sucked. 100 or so people in a very cramped basement, no room to move or anything.
• We went to ‘The Move’, which was just great. I completely fucked up my throat by singing along to My Generation by Limp Bizkit and Chop Suey! by System of a Down. Very much to my liking indeed.
• We went to ‘Aspen Valley’, which was so-so. Your typical popular music and/or ‘après ski’ place.
• We went to ‘The Level’, which is supposedly THE disco of Arnhem. It wasn’t really my kind of music, not to mention that the prices were absolutely ridiculous. It costs €0.50 just to take a piss there :O
  • Fun Fact: We decided to go outside when one of the guys got so drunk he started to grope moobs.

So yeah, that was nice.
Of course the next day I was supposed to be at two conferences with projectleaders and such, but I decided not to. I had to wait for the first train back home (which left at 5:22 or so), and then I had to walk home because the bicycle-storage-thing I stored my bike at hadn’t opened yet. Suffice to say I was in bed around 6:40 and not in the mood to get up at 10.

Also, I did not have any hangovers, yet I was really quite tipsy last night, so that makes it fantastic. One of my friends said he didn’t have a hangover, he ‘just threw up because his food hadn’t landed well’. But you and I know better than that, don’t we?
