Circumstances find me alone in an Eastern European capital for several days with very limited grasp of the language and even that only really extending to the written form.
Not a specifically LGBTQ+ friendly country, although not a specifically LGBTQ+ unfriendly one either, at least in the capital – the provinces are likely to be far more conservative.
I would be mad to want to go out in girl-mode, right?
But sometimes She just wants to express herself, and sitting in a hotel room or apartment unseen is only a poor/partial “expression”.
Sometimes Sophie just wants me to “get my girl on” and be seen.
She locates a nightclub that seems to be a friendly place to go. The idea thrills Her, and, difficult though it can be to separate feelings between the two, thrills Him too, although it’s a little scary.
The first night I’m here, the place is not open, so Boy-mode takes a walk around the area where it is located; getting a feel for the vibe of the area, peering into shop windows, checking the best places to park, and making sure it doesn’t feel unsafe for Her. Another evening I check out a second place too, to go another night. I’ve mixed the photos together – no quick changes during the night for me!
Along the way…. some interesting shops!
The really great thing about truly broadminded people is that they accept everyone for who they are without it being a problem.
You know it’s a good night out when you leave and the sky is getting light. Especially in the winter.
5 Stars: Would visit again. Not as much choice of venues as in some UK Cities – but actually more choice than many of them.
