Hood To Hood: Who Parties Harder? Lang’ata Edition
So now we have established just who between Nairobi and Nakuru parties harder. Just as my uncle Donae_O says, “We ah go party hard!” and indeed Nairobi takes the top spot. But which hood in Nairobi parties hardest?
I have decided to take it upon myself to go from hood to hood and find out for myself. And this weekend i was at Lang’ata a.k.a LGT a.k.a LA also known as New Guzzler’s Haven! I was out at a joint called “Oxygen” but let’s first get into it from the beginning… Now to get into it:
The Clubs
Oxygen has stellar prices for pints and though it’s a “local”, the management has done quite abit to create a good ambiance. The sound system is good but the DJ sucks -atleast the one that played on Saturday. The music is for old foggies who even complain that the music is too slow!
If you want a good time either parking lot pimping or guzzling, Oxygen is the place to be. It is the only place repping LA these days. Carnivore is just for main events and big-name concerts.Rafikiz seems to enjoy hosting bull-dances. Rafikiz is constantly one huge cockfest *sigh*. I give it a pass. Off Road is a good spot but the beer prices rival Brew Bistros and for what? Bad service? Pass.
Oxygen holds it down harder than any of these other “bigger” clubs. get over to Oxygen anyday to have fun!
The Crowd
First off, lads in LA couldn’t dress up if their lives depended on it! They usually come out looking like they can’t afford to look good and couldn’t be bothered. The whole baggy jeans and bad oversize top or official attire. Plain lazy but it make MY job getting a lass easier. The lasses however have upped their game in matters attire.
And the lasses have the famous “Middle Class Syndrome” ordering drinks they can’t pronounce when a lad offers to spot the drinks. Rooobbish! But they are approachable. Even the ones in groups. Or it could just be my charm that achieves that… A study should be commissioned to find out why ladies respond to Uncle Chim Tuna!
The lads are of the rowdy juvenile disposition going ape and picking fights because you are “taking their women” or whatever that means. They usually arrive in hordes and look around the club like they are daring anyone to breathe -mean mugging like listening to Lil Wayne is still cool! These are the boys. The old foggies don’t care for anything and often just come looking to get laid.
But they are guzzlers indeed! If there is any region that threatens Nbi West’s mantle of being the guzzling region of Nairobi, it has to be Lang’ata!
Transportation
24hrs a day! Matatus have made getting here and leaving easy. And the cabs don’t overcharge so getting a lass to enjoy the comforts of your bed even when you aren’t driving is possible.
The highlights of raving in L.A are the ease of transportation, the lasses who are rather friendly and respond to a smile, the cheap liquor which can only be found at the other attraction LGT has to offer: Oxygen.
Overall, Lang’ata gets a 6/10. The lads have knocked off a whole 4 points!
Uncle Chim Tuna has spoken!
