A seven flore club, what more can i say...

Our last night in Madrid was spent at the seven story night club called "El Kapital." It was something I had heard of before even coming to Spain and it was like no club I had been to before! (obviously it was 7 times better.) Most clubs these days are filled with horrible pop music sped up and paired with the same techno beat in the background. And as soon as a techno version of Call Me Maybe or Somebody That I Used To Know starts to play, your ready to be out of there in a second. (Somebody That I Used To Know is actually a great song until some idiot thought turning a slow, sad break up song into a fast paced dance song was a good idea...) But anyways, the first 3 floors of this club consisted of huge dance floors with house music of course, the next was karaoke, the next was pop hits from the 90s and early 2000's (AWESOME) the next was salsa, and the top floor was more relaxed music with lots of tables and seats, the roof also opened up on this floor so it was cooler and you could see the stars. The karaoke floor was a hit of course. As soon as we got to karaoke on the 4th or 5th floor they started playing backstreet boys, which is a classical favorite for white american girls and we obviously had to start singing along to I Want It That Away.(I probably shouldn't be admitting to this, but hey you can't deny that I Want It That Away is a good song. This also unfortunately reminds me of Jenna Marbles' "white girls in the club" video on youtube, best jenna marbles video by far.) The salsa floor was also awesome even though I can't salsa for the life of me... The bus ride home the next morning was not so awesome though... we ended up getting home around 5 and had to get up to take the bus at 7. So an hour or so was not nearly enough time for sleep, but a short and bumpy sleep on the bus ride up to bilbao was of course all I needed to start off my year in this beautiful city. As we started to drive through the basque country, the hills just kept getting greener and greener and I knew that this part of Spain was going to be just what I needed to remind me of home in Seattle.
