Vibe Bar Experience

Upon arriving in London it is apparent that the culture is significantly different from that of not only San Diego, but the United States as a whole. When traveling into the deeper parts of London, the sights and experiences that can be enjoyed are dramatically different from those commonly enjoyed by daily tourists. It was this aspect of the Vibe Bar that was the most exciting and shocking. The Vibe Bar places you in a situation not only uncommon of the States, but also your temporary housing.

One of the most significant aspects of the Vibe Bar, which was influential as well as slightly shocking, was the diverse populace and auras of the club. The inside of the bar harbored music as well as lounge areas which are perfectly accommodating for the underground music seekers as well as those who are just looking to relax. For instance there were a few individuals there who were going to have their album release later on in the night, as well as a man who was just going in to have a beer and read his book before going home. The outside however was more a beer garden, which is something that I have yet to notice at many pubs throughout London. This allowed for hundreds of individuals from all parts of London to conglomerate together and share a beer, both American and British. The interesting aspect of this is the diversity that this club holds as part of its identity. The Vibe Bar acts as a melting pot for individuals of all ethnic backgrounds and nationalities to come together and enjoy one another's company without confrontation. This is rarely seen back in the United States, and is something that young Americans could grow from experiencing.
