Crazy night

Madrid seems like the LA of Spain. This is where the wealthy socialites party. I found that out last night thanks to Alejandro, guy whose job is, apparently, to schmooze and promote clubs. He´s a friend of a friend. He took us out to two of the nicest clubs in Madrid, one of which (Buddha) is the preferred hang-out of the famous people here. I´m glad I brought a nice shirt! The girls here got all dolled up, and we met up with Alejandro, who paid for absolutely everything the whole night! We partied in the VIP area, and they kept bringing carafes of liquor and mixers out to the table. The Buddha is an amazing club. The floors and walls are made of some kind of aromatic hardwood, and that´s the smell that hits you when you enter. There are buddha statues everywhere. The lounge area has really nice alcoves, and they serve hookahs. We hung out with a foolballer for the Real Madrid team (these guys are big celebrities here), and met a guy they said is the Donald Trump of Spain.


Also, I checked out the Sofia museum. Not much interesting, except for Guernica by Picasso. It was free today.
