First Weekend Out

Our first weekend out was pretty eventful. On Friday we went to a bar called Frankensteins. The beer was a little expensive, but the inside was cool looking. There was a huge dance floor and an upstairs lounge. There was also a bottom floor that we hung out on for a while. There were some creepy rooms and statues. There weren't that many people in there, but we made our own fun. We had to teach the bartender how to make Irish car bombs. We tried to buy him one, but there were cameras everywhere and he wasn't allowed to drink.

On Saturday we found a really cool street with a lot of fun pubs, Cowgate. There were promoters everywhere handing us fliers for different clubs. We went to a place called Siglo first because they had 2 pond beers. We met some really nice people. One woman was from Manchester and she taught me what cheeky meant --not rude like I thought, but flirty. There was a lot of dancing, which was the best part. People in the UK dance much differently than the U.S., they get way more into it and take up a lot of space.

After Siglos, Jamie, Laura, Natalie and I went into Sneaky Petes, a jaeger bar. The sound system in there was incredible. We did a lot more dancing. We met some really nice Irish people whose accents were impossible to understand.

Edinburgh is definitely a fun place to go out in!
