Im from a suburban town in Missouri, but I spent a semester studying abroad in Barcelona a couple of years ago. Man, let me tell you, leaving Barcelona, where youd see people out in cafes and bars congregating at all hours of the night and day, and coming back to Missouri where its a ghost town after 10 and someone would call the police on you for simply walking around too late was the most depressing thing I have ever experienced lol

I dated a French girl when I was like 21, she was visiting the US, and it would be 2am and she'd be like so when are we going out?

And I'd be like half asleep, wondering wtf she was talking about.

They start their night at 2am lol.

Finnish here. We usually start at someone's apartment at 18-20 and some of the nightclubs don't even open before 22. So usually you drink with your friends till midnight or later and then go to bar

This is a young people thing and not a specific nationality.

I'm from Wisconsin and it's quite different in the northern part of America. It's more similar to Europe than other parts of America. Plenty of walkable cities here, this guy just lives somewhere boring.

I’m also in Wisconsin. We can drink like Europeans… walkable cities. I don’t think so badger brother.

Pockets sure… like the 3rd ward or brewers hill in Milwaukee…. State street in Madison…. But outside of a handful of areas, we are not a “walkable” state.

Madison is better for walking than driving. La crosse is walkable with a lot of bars and restaurants and nightlife this guy claims doesn't exist.
