this weather may look overcast and depressing. but i seemed to have brought the California heat and sun. the sun actually has been coming out and it hasn’t been raining too much. and it has not been snowing at all. quite odd. Yes i did go to that burger King on the right!
this is a square a few blocks from my hostel. Love the architecture. it’s not Orange County ritzy or boring. quite cool i think. these types of buildings are office buildings, apartments, and whatever. and inside they can be like ‘mini castle’ like. What i mean to say is the architecture from the outside is not limited to just the outside. You’ll have high vaulted doors and windows with cool wooden structures inside. although yes sometimes you’ll see some swedish minimalist set ups inside as well if the building is a little newer.
anyways, i ended up sleeping all day yesterday trying to catch up and i woke up around 3 or 4pm, went to the gym for free, and had a LONG night on the town.
so i go down from my hostel around midnight and i chat up the front desk guy, emil. i ask where to go for bars, he ends up showing me a bit and he tells me that his friend is actually walking there now so i run outside and catch up with his friend, peter, 20. Cool guy walks me to a bar and tells me to go for a little more craziness.
i walk for 15 minutes and it’s pretty cold by myself and the area he shows me is all dead. i end up near a 7-11 and there’s some a few swedes heading in that look young. i ask where i could go at this time of night since it was still a little early around 12:30pm. they said they were going to try to find bars and that i should join them. We end up passing bottles and boxed wine around drinking in the street kind of getting lost and i have no internet on my phone (sometimes your iphone will update on airplane mode if it gets close to a wi-fi network and it will reposition you on the map though!) . i find out that they were 17/18 lol. Why does my company keep getting younger and younger? Haha. so after drinking in random places in the street as it starts to drizzle a bit we get to a bar that was just closing around 2:15pm. Lo and behold peter was there too haha as he had migrated. i introduce everyone and i end up bringing 7 or 8 swedes back to my hostel for more drinking passing around the Knobb Creek. it gets to be around 5am and we move again to peter’s place 2 minutes away and we end up with more randomness in this really cool cellar looking place. Why there is a ping pong table and 2 couches in the middle of this hallway beats me but it looks like a homeless person’s paradise!
What to do for my birthday at midnight?????
