Im not sure if it is everywhere in Bolivia or only in Santa Cruz, but on the weekends everything and everyone comes alive! Going out to the clubs on Thursday Fridays and Saturdays are just part of the life. It depends on the person as to where you go but generally it is either to a bar, a club, a churrasko or a boliche (pretty much the mix between a bar and a club...its is middle class casual.).
When people go out to the clubs, it is not a joking matter, everyone gets super dressed up in short dresses, high heels and inches of make-up, then they go to an overly expensive club and dance all night long. These places are very formal and you generally need a reservation to get in, not really my favorite Bolivian night scene. It seems that for me the best place to go are to the boliches, they are casual and you dont have to worry about spending a fortune to get in. There is always music and it is fun to go out with your friends! When I go out with my friend Emily from New York we have found a way to make friends that has never gone wrong. We bring little packets of glitter and sprinkle it around, for some reason people always try to find the source of the glitter and we make new friends :)
Because everything runs on Bolivian time nothing opens until 10PM so people usually dont end up going until 11, it is late but for me it is always a good time!
