The Night Life


When the sun goes down in Rwanda, as I mentioned in my very first blog, the lights go on and oh the joys of this marvellous sight! However, in Rwanda, I should probably mention that by ten o'clock, everyone is safe and sound in their homes and looking forward to a nice warm bed and putting the little ones to bed and so on.
The number of taxis and cars on the roads will slowly dwindle to the odd car every now and again. The only means of transport then will be the Taxi Moto or the occasional cab and even then, you will have to be in a certain place where they will be waiting for you.
Where, you may ask, will you be headed at such a late hour if everything is closed and everyone has left for the night?
Why to a club of course! The general vibe I personally got from Rwanda was that it is too polite for night life to possibly fit in (which isn't necessarily a bad thing), but rest assured it does.
Yes, party-goers, the fun goes on at night. The DJ will take your request and you and your friends can drink and/or dance the night away as you please. The Taxi Moto drivers and cabs will be ready to take you back home whenever you want. You have got to admire those devoted drivers' stamina. Staying up until the wee hours of the morning is not a fĂȘte just anyone can perform (I should know; all-nighters are no joke!) and the drivers will not take advantage of you in any way on your way home.
So, friends, party people, keep party rocking for as long as you want!
Although, if you have work in the morning (for which you definitely need to be on your A-game), an early night in might not be so bad an idea, no?
