My last night in Austin. This city is famous for its nightlife. I tried yesterday to stay up, but in the end I still felt a bit to weak. Also I didn´t know how to get back to the flat since even the 90min public transportations ends around 22:00.
So now (Friday) will be my last possibility of some Austin party. The flat I stay is located in a residential area next to a motorway. Typical for Texas, restaurants, supermarkets and bars line up next to highways because everybody needs to drive anyways (also after drinking!). There was one bar, the “Watershed” in walking distance and I decided to go for a beer.
This was the best decision I could ever have made that evening. The bar stuffed with people of all different ages. There was karaoke, dancing and drinks at reasonable prices. I got to know a dude who just moved back to his hometown Austin and we decided explore it together. When the bar closed at highlight we were already friends with the waiters and they organized some transportation for us to the next bar (other costumers, one was actually a German teacher with a hilarious Franconian accent). We ended up having an amazing evening with the endangered species of “native born Austin people”. We heard a lot of complaints about the massive growth of the city (110 people move to Austin EVER SINGLE DAY. Most of them have more money than the local population driving them out of the city. Gentrification on the “whole-city” level.
baking a apple crumble is something every true Southerner can do. It is definitively delicious
my appetite is back :D

I am really thankful that I had this experience. Now I can leave the “most hipster city of the South” without regrets :D
