Culture type
The Night Owl
Nothing before ten is culture.
Your cultural life starts when the museums close. You know which cities keep proper hours and which ones send everybody home at eleven, and you have opinions about door policies that you will share at length.
Your evening
A late set in a basement, then a room with a proper sound system until the trains start again.
Your room
If you only book one thing this year, make it Berghain in Berlin: a power station turned into the most serious dance floor in the world, and the hardest door.
