Perhaps you're wondering what the difference is between these three, but in the UK, I've come to realize that pubs give people the impression of being old and elegant, revealing a quaint British style. Every time you push open the door, vintage decoration and relaxing music, immediately came with the old British style of decoration and quite a few years of antiques, wooden tables and chairs, fireplace, everything began to look aristocratic atmosphere up. Bar may be similar to the Chinese "bar". More inclined to drinking and chatting, it is a place where young people like to communicate, the atmosphere is generally more active and lively, and the decoration is more modern than a pub. These bars are mainly located in the downtown area of the city, but less in the countryside where the flow of people is sparse, and the evening is the peak business period of the bar, especially on the night of the ball game, almost all full. British people like to gather in the Bar to watch the game, enjoy the atmosphere of this crowd, but also the United Kingdom is quite characteristic of the soccer culture. club more similar to the Chinese bar, and other bars is different, the nightclub opening time is later, you can dance, need to buy tickets, drink prices are more expensive, the community is also more youthful, so in the nightclubs into the bar before the drink a few cups has become a lot of people's practice, also known as pre-drinking, or pre-drinking.
In the UK, there are three types of pubs: the clean bar, the rowdy bar and the gay bar. I've had the pleasure of patronizing the first two. But anyone who knows a little bit about the UK knows that it is called the land of rot. Here, gay and lace are a culture, and the men on the street with rainbow hats and wearing rainbow clothes holding hands will always form a clear and strange landscape. I later learned that they are the least threatening presence you can have on an evening out, because they will never take you by surprise as you walk by with a "Hey-ha!" "Hello!" Or "Savadika!" After all, they are supervised by their partners, haha. The first time I went to a bar was two weeks into my course, and I went to the famous club with my newfound classmates, which was both exciting and nerve-wracking, to say the least.
Dry ice is the club's standard, find a place to sit down, order a cocktail, even if they sit next to each other, talk with shouting. The dappled lights, the smoky dance floor, the band music, all of a sudden activated the little beast in my heart, feeling something tickling your heart. A glass of wine down on the dance floor, found that the original fine high heel and ultra-short skirt is the best dress club, men jumping up pole dancing than the woman is also slutty, and wearing a sweater jeans and hook shoes I am like a mixed into the adult places of the schoolchildren, if it is not a passport's birthday shows that the door of the big brother will not let me come in it, no wonder staring at me over and over again a lot of eyes. Even so, still can not hide the enthusiasm of the British men, a British little brother is always around me, and I face to face with the music bouncing, the more bouncing the closer the more bouncing the closer, and slowly I began to feel the hot air released by his breath and the smell of tobacco on his body, and so sensitive taste buds and physiological instincts let me push away from him at once. With an innocent look of spreading his hands and not understanding, the little brother told me that he just wanted to be friends with me, and I said SORRY repeatedly, then turned around as fast as I could, and violently bumped into a girl in her early 20's tangled in a tongue-lashing with a blonde middle-aged uncle, and the person next to him danced himself into Mei Chaofeng's appearance as if he hadn't seen it. Taking a deep breath, I fled the dance floor. In my seat, I shared my experience with my friends, played the game of "there is no", laughed loudly, shouted loudly, the losers drink, winners also drink, not drunk, not happy, the movie is the original life here, exciting and exciting to the high point.
The second time I went to the bar, I was with my friends, and followed a club of more than ten people in the "string bar" action. The so-called "string bar" is not limited to a bar, a mood. This time into the bar from the bar, string to the pub, and then string to the club. the first two and the feeling of the club is completely different, strangers can talk to each other to say hello, a few rows of wooden tables and chairs, a few people sitting around together, at the counter lady threw a wink, order a British root beer, talk, chatting. There is no heavy metal music to grind the nerves, no dance floor to flirt with, the scene in front of us is like a large-scale dating meeting. Here, you can still see some interesting people and things, a Scottish boy told me, he came to England to study architecture, when he has nothing to do, he likes to bubble bar, drink, but never pick up girls, he thinks that undermines his integrity. This was the first time since I came to England that I had heard from a local about their so-called ethics. The most impressive thing was when an older man, dressed in a suit and with a very British look, came up to me and asked me if I was going to school and what my future career plans were, which was a complete revelation to me! It's hard to imagine that in a bar, in addition to talking about love and dancing, you can also talk about those who may be able to realize, or absurd dreams, do not have to worry about the wrong or right, anyway, we are just one side of the relationship. I vaguely remember my uncle repeatedly urged me to go to London, saying that there are more opportunities, a wider horizon, and a wider acceptance of us "foreigners". I asked him what he did for a living, and he said he was engaged in education, and that he came to the pub in the evening to chat with young people. It's interesting to see the education culture extended to the bar! There were also American students who spoke highly of Hillary and Trump's policies, taking control of the floor as locals and talking about obscure current situations and events. To my surprise, there was a heated discussion with a hoard of a dozen or so people, so it seems that the British are sensitive to politics as well. The girls are mostly wearing suspenders, slightly twisting to the rhythm, discussing that various gossip. Alcohol catalyzes, music heals, can always paralyze away a lot of temporarily do not want to remember the troubles, steal a moment of pleasure.
In order to the last stop of the club, I specially put on smoky makeup, club door is always "group of demons dancing" scene, a variety of exposed legs, exposed flesh dew navel, strange clothes and beauty make-up fetish. People's five-day working day accumulated emotions, here can be exaggerated to a vent. After entering the club for a while, a little black brother came up to me and made a gentlemanly inviting gesture, asking if he could dance with me. I had to marvel at their musical talent, music together, dance steps came, flexible as if they were the composer of these songs. After three dances, I said I was tired, so he didn't force me, I don't know if it's because of the different skin color from Europeans, let us have a kind of indescribable backwoods affinity. The head of the club invited me to drink a glass of Coke whiskey, chatting about a sister in the club shouted that she had an appointment at 9:00, to go hiking. I pulled out my cell phone and saw that it was almost 3:00, and she had no intention of leaving. Starting to worry, I asked if I needed to go back and rest, and a few of the brothers in the club laughed expertly, as if they had already explained this to others before. It turned out that the British could still go to their appointments and activities the next day even if they had an all-nighter; in their eyes, clubbing was just as relaxing as sleeping, such was their national disposition. I took a deep breath and was ashamed of myself, but I was going back to sleep until noon.
After I came to the UK, I realized that it's not enough to rely on tourism to understand a city or a country. You need to penetrate into the lives of the locals, and put your own breathing frequency into the local rhythm of life, in order to feel the pulse of the local humanities, in order to realize its powerful aura. Later, one after another, and roommates, friends went to a few times, saw the saxophone will play the muscle fit handsome guy, met the travel reporter shooting the flavor of culture, heard the tie lip nails, tattooed with flower arm behind the girl's heartache, a lot of interesting stories are written into their own brains. Whether the experience is true or false, it is always better than boring. To be honest, the pubs in the UK are not as bad as we think they are, just like a lot of the time, we are not as well-behaved as we think we are. If you come to the UK, make sure you don't forget to visit a pub once.
