Hague Hype (25/08)

It calls itself the liveliest part of Den Haag (The Hague). Not really surprising then to hear that the Grote Markt is a large central square filled with clubs, bars, cafes and restaurants. It's probably true. The place was packed with people sitting, relaxing, drinking and chatting under the yellow glows of the lampposts that kept the square from complete darkness as the night progressed. Fortunately for me the casual atmosphere was reflected in outfits, I’m not much of a dresser-upper. At midnight we thought we’d go to the Supermarkt, not because we were in need of a few food essentials...but on a recommendation that it was a good club (even if it does have a strange name). Although the dance floor was excruciatingly slow to fill up the DJ did mix well. The tunes were ones which I, as an English girl, could happily sing-a-long to with only a couple of European-sounding numbers making the playlist and even those were sung in English! All in all it was a fun evening and well rounded off when at 2:30 we watched masses of people, upon leaving the club, all shakily mount their bikes to head home. That would just never happen in England.
