So anyway we go tho this club last night and it broke the bank on absolute bull you know what. So when you go in they give you this pay card. It looks like a credit card with a chip in it. Everytime you buy a drink they put this card into a machine and then show you the screen. Problem was the screen was in swiss-german and I couldn't figure out what the price was. So you do not pay anything until you leave. Right before the exit is a guy with a computer who takes your card, inserts it into the machine and then you recieve your total. So it's like a surprise waiting for you before you leave, but not a very fun surprise. So you don't know what anything costs until you get too the register. It is absolutely absurd. I bought 2 beers and one time the machine showed a 10 and then the next time it showed a 12. I get up to the register guy, and my total was 18 franks, so 9 dollars for some crappy mexican lime infused beer. Not a very fun surprise and the reason I will never step foot into that bar/club ever again. After that we go to this place called the Archbar. This bar is actually very fun. They play a mixture of american club music and the europeon brain numbing techno. Beers are 7 franks but that is cheap in these parts. Archbar I have to say is by far my favorite place here. Everyone always has a good time and it is a five minute walk from the dorm. Now if the Prix brand would only open a club so I don't have to apply for a small loan everytime I want to go out.

This brand dominates my existence
