<p><font face='Times New Roman' size='4'>It was only 10 months ago when I last visited Canberra and I was now really surprised that the nightlife had changed so much. Before it was a dead city during the week, now it is a sparkling centre during the evenings. Although it just youth you see at the first sight, other pubs with adults are full as well. Its still so if you go to a disco (most they call them 'clubs') is that you have to be a member or pay entry fee between A$ 5 and A$ 15. Especially on special days like New Years Eve you have to pay in almost every bar and mostly not cheap. They do this to keep the very young people (with just a little money) outside. Drinking and partying in the streets is then also not a strange sight; and it is really sad to see how this youth make a mess out of town. On the other hand the city cleaning do a great job that you don't see anything from it anymore in the morning. I think one of the reasons why it has become so busy and bustling with life is that new bars and eateries with outdoor seating's have opened up. The most popular one is King O'Malley's (see further). Also young prostitutes showing up in the street scene. As in the most Capital cities, also here you find a lot of snobs. Don't have sense for drinking? There is still the cinema in the centre (and also one in Manuka) and even going to the theatre is an option.</font></p>
