Wassenaar by Night (24/08)

Thought I’d give the nightlife in Wassenaar a chance on Friday but I wasn’t harbouring much hope. I knew that it was not going to be as large or commercialised as was Noordwijk since there wasn’t an event on as such. I also knew that Wassenaar itself boasts only 2 potential venues. Actually make that 1. It is well known locally that one is just for the school kids. So I knew I didn’t really have a choice of clubs! Nevertheless I went with 3 other au pairs (a Czech, a Latvian and a South African), sorry I just love the international appeal of the job, who all assured me that they had spent many a good nights here. Whilst the night revealed my previous qualms to be true, adding to them a deepened hatred of smokers, it also proved to be good honest fun. I mean naturally we were the only ones dancing since the Dutch shun the ‘club’ culture in favour of ‘pub’ drinking and we were probably the only girls, definitely the only people under 30 of the very scarce number inside. But I reckon I’d do it again.
