2nd weekend in Paris

Okay, so I can't really remember what I did last week... and no it's not because I was so drunk I can't remember, it's simply because it wasn't so memorable.

I guess I had high expectations when I was going out last week because of how much fun I had in New Years. I thought that maybe partying every weekend in Paris would be like that...but I guess not haha. Oh wait, I remember now...

Okay so on Friday a British friend invited me and another friend to come to this British expat outing thing, they where going to go bar hopping. I know I am not British but I love the British accent so I figured I would go, maybe I would find some cute British guy so I could listen to his accent all night (I have a thing for accents shh).  My other fellow American friend (I should clear that when I say "American" I'm using the word broadly, as in North American. But okay yes she's from the U.S) decided to go together later on because we would only be able to get there around 10 and the event started quite early. When we finally find the street after what I think was 30min. of walking around, we go inside the bar and it just gets awkward. Turns out everybody was so old! and by old I mean in their 30's and up! But thankfully our two British friends where there. We then went to the next bar, and three of us bought the most delicious wine ever.
If you know me you know that I don't really like wine, as my cousin would say "It's an acquired taste", and well since I am in France I know I would eventually end up drinking wine. Not only do I not really like wine, but it also gets me drunk so fast! I could have less than a glass and I'm already feeling tipsy, I kno its hard to believe but its true! One time a friend invited me to dinner and we ordered a bottle of wine and let me tell you that I didn't even finish the glass and I was so tipsy!
Anyways going back to my story...we picked a white wine, a "sauvignon" and it was the cheapest one haha (I paid 7 euros!), but it was so good!  This is what I like about France, you can get good cheap wine. It was so good, and I was so happy I was able to drink it! And of course I got tipsy off 2 glasses.
We then went to another bar but it wasn't so much fun so we ended up catching the last metro (1:15 am) and got home by 1:40 ish. I know, kinda sad huh?

Saturday was even sadder. There was a group of au pair girls who where going to meet up at a bar called "L'international" which had 3 bands playing that night. Again my friend and I went together because the girls were going quite early and we would only be able to get there by 10pm.
The bar was so crowded, it took us like 15 min. just to get across and down the stairs to the basement. I thought I was going to die, I got so claustrophobic. It didn't help that I had a coat and a scarf on...oh how I hate going out during winter. When we finally got to the stage we couldn't find the other girls, so we called them and they told us that they where outside. We went outside and they said that they where going to go to "Nouveau Casino" (a club) which was right around the corner. When we got the the club, turns out it was closed! Can you believe they only opened the club at 12? No wonder it's free entry between 12-1am.
So we were the first ones to go in after waiting in line. A bunch of girls had left by then, since they all wanted to catch the last metro to go home.
When we finally got inside the club we sat down in the lounge area to wait for more people to get in, because it was weird if we were the only ones dancing in the empty club. But the other girls we met up with where so quiet and shy, they just sat there doing nothing... so they ended up leaving and my American friend and I stayed with another girl for a little while more, but decided to leave also.

So as you can see, it wasn't a great weekend, but L'international was definitely the place we should have stayed (except for way too many people) and hopefully my friend and I will go tonight. I'll let you know how it was!
