The girl that I know wanted to show me her city.
And I don’t mean touristy stuff.
We were walking for quite some time and talking about all sorts of different things and among them was nightlife and partying.
--“Some parties are good, some are like really, really good, and some just suck. That is also true for parties in my country. Every party is on its own, but yes, generally speaking the parties in my country are different than here, in the west.”
--“Different in what way?”–she was puzzled
--“ The vibe is very different, I feel like parties here are very stiff, very staged, the vibe is very plastic and there is no real emotion, at least that is what I have experienced, while parties back home are more laid back and at the same time more intense.
Again, every party is on its own and there are no rules, but I am speaking generally.”
--“ I have heard that you know how to make a really good party in your country. I would love to go to one.”
--”Well, that is the easiest thing to do. All you have to do is to come to my town and we will go out and you will have a firsthand experience of our parties and our nightlife.” – I said that with a smile
--“I would love that. But I have also heard that nightlife in your country can be quite dangerous. I have heard that lots of people are carrying lots of guns when they go out at night! Is that true?” – she said with a dose of fear in her voice
--“Yes, I have seen people carrying weapons when they go out at night, but it’s not like it’s wild west over there, it’s not like people over there are lunatics that will shoot at anybody and everybody who is on their way.
If a person knows how to behave, then everything will be OK, but if the person doesn’t know how to behave, then that person can get into some trouble.
But a person can also get into some trouble in every city in every country in the world if that person doesn’t know how to behave.
At least that is what I’ve always thought.
But I don’t understand such people, that is just not normal in my opinion.
I mean, you are going out to have a good time, why would you need any sort of weapon.
When I go out, I don’t carry any kind of weapon with me in my pockets.
In my pockets there is just no room for any of that.”
--”And what do you carry in your pockets?” – she said with the smile on her face
--“Well, ain’t that a little bit personal question, don’t you think?
I will tell you, but only if I get to ask you something personal afterward, I mean, that’s only fair. What do you say? – smilingly I said
--”That seems fair.” – she said and now she was smiling with her eyes also
--“I am carrying normal stuff – keys, chewing gums, phone, wallet, some money. Normal, everyday stuff.” – and I was literally taking all of those things out of my pockets as I was saying
“But, of course, the most important thing that I always carry with me in my pockets is plan B, so if my main plan, plan A, doesn’t work, I just have to have a backup plan to fall onto.
I guess now is my turn!
Are you ready for your question?!”
--“What is fair, is fair!” – she said and kept smiling
--“I know that you like to listen to David Guetta, but I bet that deep down in your heart you just love David Hasselhoff’s music.
C’mon, don’t be shy, open up your heart!” – I was just messing with her and she laughed
