Extravagant Night Life in Medellín

I was in awe of the extravagant, never-ending, super-festive, high-energy atmosphere of a local Discoteca Saturday night. The place was incredibly large, and it was almost over-stimulating to take in the varied and bright decorations, loud music, enthusiastic announcer, flashing lights, entertainment (Cirque de Soleil-like acrobats, seductive dancers of both sexes, break dancers, prizes, skits, ect.), and large screens of cartoons and music videos. I was worn out and feeling rather awkward by about 3:00 AM, but my new Colombian friends were not ready to leave until 5:00. Wow-- what stamina!!!
