That isn't only about learning... Let's have some fun!!

Hey everyone, I'm back again with good tips about Cape Town. And  at that time, I think you guys are enjoying a lot, because we are talking about something very interesting... FUN!!!

As I've been telling you here, english learning is not only about staying in class, being bored. There are many other possibilities (most of them are very amusement) for practicing and learning english all the time, including during the evenings. In addition to it, I can assure you that the learning goes really fast whenever you associate this with something funny.

The evenings at LAL used to be quiet (from Sunday to Wednesday); however the school is always arranging some night activities to the students, like karaoke turns, games, etc. Whether you want (like I used to do) you can also look for enjoying a friend's company in a good conversation or take your time surfing on the internet, posting photos and speaking with your family. Furthermore, Sea Point has lots of night programs…like restaurants, pubs… it’s up to you.

Now let’s have some fun... I’ll show some of the best places in town for enjoy your time, with your friends, in the capetonian night life:

Dubliners: that nightclub takes place at Long Street... it's one of the most traditional and well-visited places ever. As the name says, the nightclub is about a typical Irish pub where you'll find an excellent live music, cheap drinks, and people from all over the world (so, don't waste any chance and practice your english). You don’t need to pay any entrance fee (but Friday’s nights) and the nightclub disposes two nice dance floors (live music and Dj).

Dubliners, day-view!

The house is open from Monday to Monday.. however the best nights to enjoy are Thursday's and Saturday's. It’s quite safe, so whenever you leave Dubliners just take a taxi (you will find plenty of taxis) which costs about R50 to go back to Sea Point. My tip is to go at Thursday’s night because the place is not that overcrowded and the band is fantastic.

Tiger Tiger: the LAL student’s favourite place for Thursday’s nights. That nightclub takes place in a shopping mall at Claremont, nearly 25 minutes away from Sea Point by taxi which costs about R160. So, if you want to go there, you must join the other students whom use to gather at school’s reception, every Thursday's night. The place is quite good and you may find lots of beautiful young people… there is an entrance fee of R40. The guys must to pay attention at Tiger Tiger’s dress code (shirts and shoes, always), otherwise you can be refused. Drinks are cheap, they have 3 different bars and every night has drinks promos. The music is quite good; however the place is too overcrowded. I’ve been there couple of times and had so much fun with my friends; besides it, the place wasn’t my couple of tea.

Russian, Swiss, ME and German... at Bohemia!

Stellenbosch: outside Cape Town that's the best place for having fun… to have a really enjoyable Friday’s night. Stellenbosch is a small university town, 40 minutes away driving from Cape Town, so the only way to go there is by car. My tip is to rent a car with 2 or 3 other friends and leave Cape Town about 17:00; you can stay at Banghoek Hostel (to make things easier is better to have a GPS). Start drinking some good wine at the backpacker, park your car there and go to town walking (don’t worry because it is a really small town). The pubs you must to visit are: Den Anker (the most traditional), Bohemia (overcrowded, but very good), Opskop (good drinks), NuBar (dancing nightclub) and Cubana (good food). Nevertheless, you can find plenty of other good places over there. So, just go there and enjoy your time with your friends, but don’t forget the way back to hostel.

Some others nightclubs at Cape Town: in Mother City you should visit others good nightclubs. Don’t lose the opportunity to show your face at: Casablanca, 31º Floor, The Loop and Dizzy’s. My tip is to go to Long Street, just be careful.

Grand West Casino: Yes... Cape Town has a Casino and is a legal activity in South Africa. The place disposes dozen of different entertainment options, isn't only about old people playing in coin machines. Over the Casino, you can have loads of fun, doing different stuffs, although the disadvantage is the distance. The Grand West is quite far away from Sea Point, but don't worry because LAL has weekly tours to the casino.

I must to advice you that drinking outside streets is a prohibit activity in South Africa. So, if you don't want to be stuck in trouble, don't leave any pub, bar, restaurant or whatever handing a glass or any bottle of alcohol stuff (#Tip)!

I'm finishing another good topic with good information about Cape Town's life! Hope you guys are enjoying it!!

Cheers!!!
