Damn cover fees ...


Man I'm loving this city. We had our orientation party for exchange students last night, and I wasn't planning on drinking or staying out late. After a summer camp style "name-game session", a hungarian folk dance, and a casual pint at a pub, all 100 of us decided to visit the student dance club.

The girls got their student cards earlier, so they were given free cover. We slept through our student card pickup periods earlier this week, and the welcome assembly yesterday went overtime (useless and drawn out - we should have slept in today as well) so we missed out on the 12 noon closing on Friday as well.

Tristan was bartering with the bouncer not to pay the 1000 forint (5.31 canadian) cover, since were WERE corvinus students with ISIC cards and had HUNGARIAN metro passes. Eventually we caved, and I'm glad we did.

Apparently when you pay cover at this place you get 4 free drink tickets. That's $1.32 a drink in a night club. Even when I get my student card ... I'm paying cover from now on. The cheapest beer there to buy with cash is $1.91. I love this country, I can live like a king. Haha Sweden and your 8 euro pints.
