going out in Vienna

My last weekend was dedicated to clubbing, and in Vienna, it is quite easy. From the Finnish perspective drinks are cheap in bars and nightclubs, the public transport starts again before the clubs shut down and there are plenty of places to chooce from. My Friday consisted of a local wine tavern in Simmering with tradiotional "Austrian" live music, salsa club in the downtown and finally into side of Saturday morning flux club with indie rock night next to the danube canal. On Saturday after recovering for most of the day, I started in a "beach" bar by the Danube canal and stopped completely exhausted in Arena closeby Gasometer after 5 hours of fervent Drum & Base rhythms. Optionally, I could have gone to the Nuke festival in St Pölten which is some kilometers off from Vienna to listen Chemical Brothers and Lennie Kravitz. However, on Friday I was still not quite sure how my bruised toes are able to cope and I did not bother to persuade people to leave the city. Today I learned that I was not the only one of the YSSPrs to enjoy the ear shattering (I had the plugs and still my ears were ringing) beats on Saturday, but we had failed to coincidentally spot each other between the 3 different dance floors and few bars and food stalls.

What is difficult, though, is the adjusting of the daily (or should I write nightly) rhythm between work and clubbing. On Friday, people started to flow into the club only after 24, which is the time when I close my eyes during the week. Fortunately on Sunday I did not sleep to long and somehow managed to go to bed at 10.30 and drag myself out of there today at 7.10.
