Before I write more about NZ I have to go back in time, 2 weeks or so....aka HOW NOT TO DO CLUBBING

Wear shorts. 

my excuse: I was told that we’re gonna go listen some reggae music. How was I supposed to know that we were heading to a fancy club. Btw, my shorts are really legit and I was told that they're ok. 

Don’t carry an ID

my excuse: Im 38 for christ’s sake 

I was going to that club with two Taiwanese girls and when we were waiting for the metro they asked me If I was carrying an ID and I said “No, I’m not carrying one” and then we all laughed.

Well when the bouncer at the club asked for my ID I was like what the hell. Then the girls were like what the hell. The problem was that I thought that the girls were joking and the girls thought that I was joking when I told them that I wasn’t carrying any ID with me. 

outcome:

I ended up having an interesting evening with locals in front of a Family Mart (similar to 7/11 with affordable alcohol and food) while the others were clubbing. No, I really did have an interesting evening and probably saved a shitload of money.

ps, If you sometimes feel really stupid since you don’t understand the English spoken by some nationalities you’ve got nothing to worry about. I met an American guy who kept complaining me about this Russian guy sitting next to us. The thing was that the guy was not Russian but Scottish :D 

It’s not always easy even for native speakers.
