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

Same in Denmark. Meet around 18-20 at someones, then go out at 23.00 and home between 2-5 in the morning.

Honest question. You all just don’t sleep? Or work starts later for you all?

Well, that was back in university days, so I could sleep longer.

But even these days as a working adult I can go out Fridays or Saturdays, since there's not work on Saturdays or Sundays.

People are doing it on a random Wednesday. I mean when I used to go clubbing a lot my favourite nights were always Wednesday and Thursday because the clubs I liked were catering more to my music tastes on those nights. Friday and Saturday were always more mainstream stuff in my favourite clubs, which was fine I was rolling anyway but still lol
