I’m really surprised. Coming from Munich, where you have a very diverse party and nightlife scene, and where partys usually get going at around 22:00 and often last until 4 or even 6 in the morning, the parties we’ve been at were a bit disappointing.

And bars are no better. Apart from it being hard to find a decent beer (and never trust a beer they call bavarian-style or Hefeweizen… We even had a Lager beer being sold as Hefeweizen to us… apart from tasting completely different and often being described as having a banana-like taste), they also close way to early. And its really impolite when they start to turn up the chairs on other tables at 0:30, while you are still sitting in front of your full beer.

(Ok, this doesn’t apply to all cities of course. But the Bay area is not like a hillbilly region, is it?)

Music is mostly Hip-Hop here, it seems. Unfortunately the style I like the least, and the others hate it. We need to find a rock club for Inken to make her happy…
