Night life

I managed to persuade one of my friends to let me use his internet connection on a Saturday night, just to see what happens on SL during that time as I have never experienced it.
The first thing I did was teleporting myself to Apfelland Nachtleben, to see what was going on there. And as I now knew I could hear the music I was exited to find out what kind of music was played there.
When I arrived I knocked over two other residence by mistake. They didn’t really seem to mind.
I wondered around towards the dancefloor where everyone was dancing. It was very busy, well busier than I had ever seen it before. I pressed the play button on my screen to be able to hear the music, and it worked. I was over the moon. And they were playing music I liked as well. A lot of techno and dance. Typical German I would say. J
It seemed to be a really good atmosphere and people seem to be enjoying themselves. The only thing which I found a little annoying was that because there were so many residence in one place the programme was really slow and my movements were really slow. It took me ages to get from one place to another.
But when I found a nice free place I made my Avatar dance. I had a few dance moves saved in my inventory and I tried a couple to see which ones would fit to the music. When I found the moves I wanted I started to pay attention to what was talked about around me. All of a sudden a guy started talking to me in German, trying to chat me up. I thought it was funny and let him try for a while. I felt strangely flattered as he complimented me on my outfit and on my looks(I had changed them again before I went to the club). I thought he was a little annoying but kept talking to him for a while. He then started talking to me on IM (personal messenger) and started to get really dirty and rude. I told him to get lost and that I was not interested in that. At this point I felt like I was in a real nightclub, in the real world, fighting off a bloke trying to pull. Very odd feeling I have to say. He wouldn’t leave me alone so I stopped dancing and teleported myself to another island.
I ended up on a place called Koozebane, which again was a night club. All the time I had been trying to find different night clubs and all of a sudden I managed to stumble upon one by accident. It was only a small one with only one room and there weren’t that many residence around, so I only took some notes and pictures of the interior and left.
I wanted to try out and go back to Heartland but again my programme froze and I got kicked off again. I tried to log on again a few times but it was just too slow and I couldn’t teleport myself anywhere, do anything, so I left it for another day.
