I don't usually go to night cafes because I don't like the atmosphere. I would rather visit a opera, musical, theater or some sport event.

Personal comments
The language of instruction at my host University is English, at which I am fluent. The understanding and communication in everyday life goes without any problem.
I am also well advanced in German and I can communicate with the students of the local country-Germans, even though everyone of them speaks English very well.
