One of my favorite nightclubs.. 118 Lounge!

Where?: 118 Lounge

Location?: Newark, New Jersey

Type of music played?:

 Mostly house music (my ultimate favorite!), some hip-hop, and some Spanish music.

Atmosphere/Crowd?: Well it depends when you go there are normally opened Fridays and Saturdays but my boyfriend and I usually go on Saturdays. The reason for this is because Saturdays are a lot more fun and the music is 10x better than on Fridays. The type of people you will see on a Saturday at 118 would be people that are really dressed up. You see a lot of girls really really dressed up with wild hair and makeup done. A lot of guidos (Italian men that wear the tight shirts, spiky hair, and looked tanned all the time ha ha), some Spanish, Asian, and African American people as well. It's good because there is a mixture of everything.

Why do I like this place so much?: Well the first reason that I love going to 118 so much is because they mostly play House music which is by far my favorite type of music because with all the neon lights and everything is just makes you want to go crazy dancing! The best DJ that 118 has is Ricky Riddell. He is awesome! What is nice about 118 is that inside its most white but with the neon colors it has it makes it looks blueish purple and all different colors ( picture on the left).

This place is never really not crowded as you can see from the picture on the left, this is a normal, crazy, fun night at 118! Everyone going crazy dancing have a good time. One of my favorite things about going out is that there are people who work as photographers for their own clubbing site in which they post pictures every day of different night in different clubs. I like this because I usually forget to bring my camera so its good to have people constantly walking around taking pictures. These websites are Greekflix and Hot Shotz.

This place has parking which is great because the guys who work there just park your car for you and bring it back once you are leaving. The drinks are good and the VIP sections which we usually get are great because they give you a view (depending where in VIP you are) of the whole place. Picture on the left of my friends, boyfriend, and I in VIP. This VIP section right in front of it is the whole dance floor so just imagine how great that is.

Overall, 118 is definitely a good place to go. I would definitely recommend anyone in New Jersey to go here!

 

Switching gears a little bit... Nightlife in the US!

Hello Everyone!

I have decided to change my blog a little bit. Instead of talking about different countries I would like to go to, I have decided to start talking about different night clubs in the US and even in some countries. Reason for switching is because although I do indeed love to travel, I can be here forever talking about all the different countries I would like to go to. I always talk about nightlife in most of my blogs, so I figured why not talk about good night clubs that my friends, boyfriend, or I have been to that have been extremely fun.

All the flashing lights, loud music, big crowds ... that's what life is all about!

I hope you all will continue to read my blog and continue supporting me.

Thanks!

Adios!

Aloha, Hawaii

Where?: Maui, Hawaii

Kailua, Hawaii

Honolulu, Hawaii

When?: Near future but not on my honeymoon like everyone else

Hotel?: Depending where I go but I wouldn't mind staying at a 

bungalow, that would be excited and different.

Duration of Flight?: 

Population?: 1,288,198 (Hawaii)

117,644 (Maui)

9,870 (Kailua)

909,863 (Honolulu)

Why Hawaii? Well everyone always mentions how they loved Hawaii and when they went therefore I figure I would check it out myself. Now I will not go to Hawaii on my honeymoon like most people do, that's for sure. One thing I would definitely like to see are the Hula Girls (animated picture on the left). Whenever most people think of Hawaii these are one of the people that 

come to mind. 

Hawaii is a place where it's definitely not like a Cancun, Mexico type of place. This is more for couples to relax, hence why people go there on their honeymoon. What I would definitely like would be to scuba dive in the Pacific Ocean because I have not done that yet only in the Caribbean.

Now for those who love the history of the United States, this might be one of the places you would like to go to because there are places to go where you can get information and see ships from Pearl Harbor like the USS-Missouri-Arizona Memorial (second picture on the left) and the main headquarters (first picture on the left). I personally am not into history but would definitely go visit this because it has important history of my country.

With regard to nightlife, Hawaii has night life but like I mentioned before it is not like Cancun. There are bars and restaurants one can go to but no nightclubs or anything of that sort. There are a lot of sushi bars that one could go to like Hakone Steakhouse & Sushi Bar or Knickers Bar & Lounge. Overall, Hawaii is just a place one goes to relax not go wild and party all the time. But if you love to go surfing, then Hawaii is DEFINITELY the place to go because the Pacific Ocean has rough water which is great for surfers because of the awesome waves. 

So if you are in a relaxing mood, then Hawaii might be the place for you!

Across the globe to... Australia!

Where?: Sydney, Australia

Brisbane, Australia

When?: Once again, in the near future someday

Hotel?: Depending on if there are hostels, then I would preferably do that. The reason for this is because I believe that when people go on vacation, the last place they should be at in their vacation is their hotel room. Therefore I would much rather spend more money on tours and having fun then spending it on the place that I will only use to sleep and shower. That is Rochelle's Theory. :)

Duration of flight?: Over 20 hours, ooch.

Population?: 21,610,000 (Australia)

4,336,374 (Sydney)

1,857,594 (Brisbane)

Why Australia?: The question is why not australia? Australia is a beautiful country with lots to see. The animals along are just one category of things to see in Australia. Koala bears (picture on the left) and kangaroos are seen just like pigeons and dogs are seen in the U.S. That is insane because to us that are not used to seeing animals like that, that is just awesome to be privileged to see that all the time. I have two roommates who studied abroad in Australia and they had all good things to say about this country. The only thing that they didn't like from the country was something by the name of Vegemite, if you are Australian you know what this is. This is a brown paste that most people but on toast with butter that is made from yeast extract. If you did not grow up with this, chances are as a grown up you will not like this. Take it from my experience. 

For someone who goes on vacations for the beaches, Australia might not be the place for you. Their water isn't crystal clear like the water in the caribbean, on the other hand their water is a little rough which is why surfing is a big sport in this country. You will see surfers everywhere doing their thing. There are day surfing trips that can be found on Australian Explorer.

One famous attraction that one sees a lot on shows and on tv is the Sydney Harbour (picture on the left). This place has been seen on America's Next Top Model, Real World Sydney, and many more other shows and movies. There isn't anything special about this bridge. It is a very well known and used bridge in Sydney. People walk across it and cars drive past it. It is just special in the sense that being American that is a well known bridge that you see in a lot of different shows.

With regard to the nightlife, darling harbor and Circular Quay has a lot of different places to go to, to have a good time. Scruffy Murphy's is a good Irish pub to go to which has many different locations, even in the U.S. Just like in every country, there is a nightlife, you just have to go find it!

Good day mate!
