unusual things going on
This weekend bengue invited me to discover Istanbul nightlife. It was very hard for me but also really nice. We moved from one club to the next and had an awful lot of beer.
The first one was a nice bar called secret garden - of course in turkish but i forgot the word again. Then we moved to a place called peote and after this dogz star and then peote again and.. ouf i can tell you i`m so … ouff. Party here is strange. At least it`s all about picking up the coolest possible person for the night and i am very confused how directly this is going on. But you can also have fun there cause people talk a lot and dance everywhere in this clubs. I allowed a very boring guy to invite me to beer, well i said no and anyway he brought it. I tried to be boring and stupid too but he didn`t care so i had really no bad conscience going to the next bar while he was getting another beer for me i didn`t ask for. Then you have these - I`m an artist, look here what i do and what are you doing? - people. If they told you often enough how cool they are and if they find you hip they ask for your name - normal smalltalk isn`t starting with such an hello stuff. But i fırst told you the funny things. Of course there must be a reason why i spended 2 nights there. You can meet a lot of nice people with interesting stories. Unfortunately in many of this stories visa problems are playing a big role. It remembers me how strange it is to walk around with this pink passport. For example i talked to a very nice guy about our travel and he was counting all the visa he wouldn`t get. If you have not so much money that the European Union thinks that you will go back for sure they just refuse you. And if you want to hitchhike or take the train/bus you need transitvisa too, which is also a big problem. This means that flying somewhere is always the best choice with the least problems. This is strange cause hitchhiking is mostly my first choice when i want to travel and this is questioning this from a very different point of view than to ask whether it is dangerous or difficult.
Anyway i had two very interesting and intensive nights with a very very süper bengue (while sakızağacı was working).
