I got back to Toon this afternoon having spent the last week there, and all I can say is- the place is fucking amazing!! Went to fabric last Friday, I have never been to a club that blew me away as much as that place did. And I don't care what people say, going out drinking really isn't that much more expensive, if at all, than Newcastle. Went to see Metric at Kings College last night, it was £3 a pint of Stella- at the Carling Academy up here it's more than that, and that's for shitty Grolsch.
Very true. The main differences in prices are for travel and accommodation. And travel's not that bad if you get an Oyster card. Jess if you are coming down for a week I suggest you get an Oyster, they're only £3 and then you can either use them as prepay or get a weekly travel card (I think). If you use prepay, each journey is roughly half what you would pay normally.
Exactly. Some of the houses I stayed at, they weren't exactly paying the Earth- around £400 a month, a mate of mine has just finished paying £300 for a pretty basic flat in Jesmond. And the Oyster card was a god send, as I had a couple of days to myself while I was down, I was on and off the tube all the time- using the card made a big difference. Any major city is expensive, just all depends on the sort of lifestyle you want I guess...
Everyone should go and see Francois K atleast once in their clubbing career...he'll be absolutely rocking it out in room 1 , I might even see if i can go I cant see him playing up here anytime soon either
