A Night in Cork City!

Tuesday and Thursday nights are the big nights for going out here and last Thursday when my class was having a class night out I was beyond thrilled to experience an Irish night in Cork! Most people don't usually go out here until around 10 or 11, so after class I took a nap and then got ready with one of my room mates who was also going out that night with her friends. My first pub experience were definitely awesome! We ended up going to two pubs that night, I guess they were more modern ones. They reminded me a lot of some of the places in the Old Port but it still seemed like a totally new experience. I was surprised at some of the music they played. A lot of it was stuff you would hear being played at clubs in the US but also they had a surprisingly long playlist of 80's music, which was a lot of fun. A ton of people seemed to be out and I got to know a lot of my classmates better! After the Pubs closed most everyone goes to McDonald's, which in my experiences is extremely comparable to a night out in the US haha! Overall it was a great time :-) Next week the business students have their ball, which is a lot like prom only a meal is also served. I'm pretty excited although, and have already made plans with my roommate to attend with her. I don't know if I have anything to wear yet, so I may go into town tomorrow.
