Cali By Night Part 1: When The Fun Begins

Unlike the bustling nightlife of New York, Cali at night is quieter and more peaceful. When night falls, Cali begins a night's sleep to prepare to wake up the next morning full of energy. But for California residents, nightfall isn't the end. On the contrary, it is the Cali night when they go out and enter restaurants, bars, milk tea shops or go to the beach to enjoy the chilly night of Cali. Or stay in your own house, step out on the balcony, hold a glass of wine or a bottle of beer, listen to a jazz song, and enjoy the night of Cali.

During the day, people are busy with the life cycle to earn money, go to school, make a hard living, and surviving in this California. With hundreds of bills waiting for them, what if the residents of California have no choice but to spin around with jobs that, no matter how much they hate, they can't because they miss them and starve to death? But one thing is that Californians are very willing to play. My mother used to say humorously that Californians earn cents and spend billions. It means some people earn only a few bucks and three but are always ready to spend heavily on things beyond their pocket. The residents of Cali have such a mindset. “Life is only once. Money can be earned tomorrow, but the fun only comes in a moment, and enjoy it no matter what.” Talking about the level of playability of the residents of Cali, I dare to bet with everyone that there is no one equal. When night falls, it is also the time when Californians return home after a hard and tiring day of work. They should rest and relax by taking a hot bath, watching a movie, and going to bed.

But no....

Californians see the night as an opportunity to relax, have fun, let go of the angry fatigues they have experienced during the day, and maybe also to "make friends." Cali residents started wearing the trendiest clothes they bought on the South Coast but never wore, or maybe they just got out of work and went to work from morning to the rendezvous even though their bodies had started to stink. That proves that as long as there is a motivation to go out, Californians will put their things aside to enjoy the night. They drive to the rendezvous point or are picked up by people. It can be restaurants with a long line of hungry diners, or a milk tea shop where they are passionately enjoying milk tea full of sugar with stories in the sky and under the sea, or a disco with loud music that makes people want to dance, or a bar with glasses of wine, cocktails that invite people to participate in endless stories and start a certain love. No matter how expensive it is, everyone is willing to spend money to enjoy that fun night with many people around.

Drinking sessions all night and all morning in Vietnamese restaurants with cups of revenge and confiding in each other's "secret" things when drunk. One may be suffering from a certain disease that the doctor says to abstain from this and. But the blood willing to play has already seeped into the body, so there is nothing to know about diseases in the body. When it comes to drinking, people immediately think of a simple meal. Just having a drink and a plate of bait is enough to have a simple drink with friends and relatives. Taking it a step further are easy-to-prepare dishes from fish, chicken, beef, pork, and even goat, and these are also easy to eat with coolers of beer or bottles of wine. Going a step further is a hot pot of hot pot and accompanying drinks. Drinking should stop there. If to say, it is not a drinking session, walking into a restaurant and ordering expensive food with expensive bottles of wine, and the diners only eat and have little interaction. It was merely a luxurious dinner. Drinking is when all attendees must feel at home, talk to each other like friends, be noisy, and feel at home. These Vietnamese pubs in Cali can always meet the needs of diners. They always seem to feel like they are sitting in pubs in Saigon.

There are evenings without appointments, and friends call each other and ask. “Hey man, what are you doing? Would you like to go to coffee with me?" In fact, going to a cafe is a general term for inviting each other to drink milk tea, but it is such a crazy idea to drink coffee at night because it will keep people awake. The attraction of the invitation to drink milk tea with friends is like an enchanting invitation, Godfather Vito Corleone once said a famous line. “I will make an offer that he can’t refuse.” Milk tea has become a popular drink, like a cup of iced tea. Cali people, or all other residents, call milk tea by the name boba. Boba is black, crispy, and chewy seeds under each cup of milk tea. Its purpose is to increase the taste of milk tea and make diners not bored when drinking. Perhaps the pearls underneath the milk tea are a special highlight that makes people gradually get used to calling it boba, the common name for all milk tea cups. Milk tea is available everywhere in the world. Throughout the streets and alleys, one can come across a milk tea shop whether it's delicious, but once the craving has come, it must be drunk. Milk tea can now be processed in many different ways to pamper diners. Order each of them a cup of milk tea, then choose a place in the shop, take a sweet sip, and then start the stories that only talk after the after-soaked tea time. The strange thing is that milk tea is not an alcoholic beverage, but when people drink, people can talk to each other comfortably. It can be pain, sadness, or joy. Just having a cup of milk tea in hand makes time seem to stop to make room for endless stories.

Cali Night also has the noise of music playing in the discotheque. California residents who are passionate about EDM music controlled by amateur DJs and swaying to it all night and all night are always the places they aim for. The disco may be the best place to shake off your worries. When the music plays, they will swing with it; in their hands can be beer bottles, glasses of brandy, or smiley balls (don't use them). It helps people temporarily forget reality for a while to immerse themselves in the fascination of the disco.

Readers, that's just part of Cali's endless night. There will be many interesting things that you will definitely enjoy in Cali at night.
