Local nightlife... finally!

So last night was extremely eventful. I broke off from the IES group and me and my friend Lull went out with this kid Yaron, a local who I connected with through Ella, a friend from Rochester who met Yaron in Israel a year or so ago. Yaron is from Zimbabwe but has been living in Cape Town for 6 years or so. Anyway, he has a lot of connections in the city and he took Lull and I to this club called Bang Bang downtown. He and his friend Jared both DJ and know the owner of the club so we didn't have to wait in line or pay cover or anything. We got to hang out in the VIP section and at one point we were even hanging out in the DJ booth! They were playing really good house and trance music, which I love, so I had a great time. It was nice to finally hang out with some locals, even if it was a more upscale local scene, local is local.
I am starting to feel slightly more comfortable here. Its weird because it feels like time is going so slowly but so fast at the same time. These next few days are jam packed. Tonight we are going to this club called Tiger Tiger in Claremont, which is in the southern suburbs so its pretty close to Mowbray, the town I live in. Jared is actually DJing at Tiger Tiger tonight so that will be cool. Friday we are doing a pub crawl on Long St (that's the bar scene downtown, a block or so away from where I was last night) and on Saturday there is a house party for students. We are also going to go to the beach and to an outdoor concert on Sunday. Can't wait!
