Odense

Friday night was actually the first time this week I got a full nights sleep. Which was kind of good, since I had some work to do in the morning.

However - me and Dominik had plans to go to Odense this weekend. Which we did in the afternoon. We arrived there at about 5 and met up with a local, who D. had met at a camping trip in Sweden. Nice guy, studies electrical engineering and organizes Discoes (being both a technician and a DJ). We had a nice walk around the town and then hit the nightlife.

First up was a place quite akin to Genialistide klubi in Tartu or Noku in Tallinn - very bohemian and ad hoc. I was told that this style of interior decoration is not really common in Denmark though (the place was called "Tastless taste" - presumably due to the "tastelessness" of the decor).

They turned up the music considerably at 9.30. It got somewhat harder to hold on conversation, but it was still manageable.

Secondly, we went to a classical british-style pub... well.. almost. It had a DJ. Who turned up the volume to the point where conversation became impossible at 12. Why anyone would do such a thing in a pub is beyond me, however.

The third place was a Tropical-themed tequila bar with a disco (so - not a bar and not a nightclub but something halfway in between. Are there places like that in Estonia?). Which was the most fun of the three. I got to dance a bit but the fairly small dance floor got a -bit- too crowded for my taste at some point... so we left and headed back.

I was told most bars and clubs usually close at 5. We got to the hostel by 2.
