Nightlife - pub crawl in eastern europe |
First of all, what is a pub crawl? A pub crawl or bar hopping in these modern days, it's an organized scouting for fun, party with a group of people from one bar to another tasting drinks, sampling the nightlife and the best and last part of the evening, a nightclub.

So that's were I spent most of my money, in the taxi and the pricey cover.
