Last night I spent a fun evening out on the town with Sandy, my hermana, her friends and later a few Gringo friends from the language school. We had already been sampling the night scene, all abuzzing with people, live shows, and dancing.
The comment in question came about one particular disco when one guy commented that ´I can imagine this place as one of those small clubs in London´ and another said it ´Finally gives a taste of home´.
A taste of home? I beg to differ! This was just one of tens or hundreds of clubs in Cusco, yet it is by far better than anything in Bermuda, a supposedly rich, hip modern culture. Compare this one place, Caos, to anywhere in Bermuda:
- It has space
- It has a thermostat that works
- It has a) modern light system and b)cool, sensibly designed glass floors
- It has live bands that are fully appreciated, unlike any groups in Bermuda, save perhaps at The PO.
- It has bathrooms that were designed as a work of art in themselves, unlike many place unmentionble for their less than desirable situation.
- It has a whole cross-section of disco goers, Peruvian, other Latinos, Gringos, old, young. Compare this to any club in Bermuda, whether it be Swinging Doors or the Splash.
A taste of home? I wish!
