Last night I went out with Suliph and her friend Jess who arrived from the next city/county for the day. I didn't really want to go, chiefly because I'm broke and I didn't want to feel awkward about not paying for anything (including the taxi there and my food and drinks) but also because as far as my experiences in this country go, I'm not really a fan of the club scene in the United States. Rather than a focus on good music and dancing the night away, there's more emphasis here on getting drunk and hooking up in ways that are bound to be regrettable later.
