So many differences…

As you know, yesterday was fatin’s 21st birthday. We had to celebrate accordingly so we googled the best club in paris. There are bars and lounges for all types and the Mix Club was our best bet (It wasn’t 230 euros for a table…) . It was a university bar so we thought it would be a good idea to hang out with our age group.

 This club was INSANE!!! First of all you have to slide down a slide to get downstairs. People were dancing everywhere and nobody worried about what they looked like or if they were on the next season of Dancing with the Stars. I kid you not when I say Fatin and I didn’t stop dancing from 1am until 5am. Oh yeah, the bars open late and close even later. We had some pro’s and con’s of our crazy night and wanted to share them with you!

Pro’s: The bars are open later than 2, Everyone dances (It teaches you to stop caring what you look like and just let go and have fun), So many different people who show you different dances, NO ONE WAS ON THEIR PHONE (crazy right???), Most people were sober, All in all it was soooooo much fun!

Con’s: Deodorant is not a thing here, There were only 3 guys taller than me (short guys have tons of confidence), French boys learned every english word except no (but really, if you said no to dancing it was like an insult), Everyone always wanted to french kiss (we learned very well how to swerve their frenchy lips to our cheeks), Everyones breathe smelled like cigarettes, The bathrooms were co-ed…yes it was weird,  Drinks were very expensive (no they didn’t have water- they handed you a cup and told you to go to the bathroom sink), and when when we were leaving we kept getting invited to after parties (ITS 5 AM BOY HOW ARE YOU NOT TIRED!!).

When I say french boys need to learn that when we say no to them, it doesn’t mean keep asking our trick us into a yes. This one guy said “Americaaaa, let me teach you the french kiss” and of course I was like “nah man I’m alright”. Then he tells me I have makeup under my eye so I went to fix it and then he started moving his finger toward my eye like he was going to rub it off and when he did he covered my eye and tried to kiss me!!!!! I was like get out of here dude!!! Like are you serious? No worries family and friends that was the only really negative part of last night! 

Would I go again? Of course!!!! That was the best workout I’ve had in a longggg time. It really was a blast and made you stop caring about peoples opinions of you. Fatin and I made the whole club do the Macarena dance and the robot. Also drinks were so expensive and guys didn’t offer to get drinks so we had a sober good time! It was like never ending Zumba in heels! Yes, we can’t feel our bodies today but it was well worth it!
