Clubbing in Cologne

Last night we've decided to go clubing in Cologne. It seems to be the best option for Saturday night... compared to Cologne nightlife, Bonn is a small village :)It is a 30-40 minutes ride by train, and most of the young people do it.

In Germany, drinking alchool in public is allowed. That means, especially at night, you will se many people drinking a beer on the street or in a bus. It is common to buy a drink and walk with it to a club... which was an interesting image for me, as in most of the countries, including Romania, you will get a categoric fine for this.



We went to a nice club called Diamonds (www.club-diamonds.de) The people were cool, the girls quite hot and we had a great time. When you enter the club, you get a card... everything that you order at the bar will be recorded on the card... and you pay on your way out...

On my way back home, I've realised that although people drink on the streets, the city is relatively clean... talking into consideration its size (around 1 mil) I would say it handles it great

It is interesting to see how common is to travel so much between cities in this area of Germany... which by the way concentrates 18 milion of the entire country population, being one of the largest world conurbations. The comuting time is small... I was traveling for 40 minutes from my home to downtown Chicago last year to get to work... so traveling from once city to another in less time, it is not that hard to get used to.
