Wednesday Nights at Cafe Madrid

If your travels ever land you in Madrid on a Wednesday night with nothing to do, stop by Cafe Madrid for International Night, an informal gathering of Spaniards and folks from around the world. This is expecially great for someone traveling alone, like me. Last night I stopped by right around 9:30 pm and a nice woman from Ireland invited me to sit with her and her British friend, both of whom are currently studying here. We were then joined by several Spaniards throughout the night and had lovely conversation with laughing and singing too. It was a blast and a nice comfortable environment for someone traveling solo. I heard about it at Mad about Madrid and thankfully was reminded of it yesterday just in time to make an appearance. (Thank goodness for my delicious links!) Anyone know of other things like this in other European cities?
