Trip to Carlsbad Outlet Center

Last weekend I went to Carlsbad Premium Outlet Center. It is really hard to go to mall without a car, but fortunately we had a car and it just took 20 min. to drive there from La Jolla. But the problem was that nobody on the street knew where the mall was. We asked to 4-5 people who are living in that area, but most of them looked us with empty eyes and told that there is no mall around there and the mall was on the corner. It was really strange to see people who don't know the area that they live in.
The outlet center is really small. Some of the brands at the mall are GAP, Guess, Nine West, Polo Ralph Lauren, Bebe, etc. It took 2-3 hour to finish all of the mall which is a pretty short time for me. The best thing about the center is that the stores has much more things than they have in other outlet centers. For example, in Carlsbad Outlet center I have found a dress which I loved in BCBG Max Azria store in Las Americas Outlet center, but couldn't find the size. I recommend the Carlsbad Outlet center to all BCBG Max Azria's fans, because they have really good staff which is very cheap according to their original prices.

Night Life in San Diego

The most important thing to know about the night life in San Diego is that clubs are closed at 1:30 a.m. It is very early for most of the visitors from other countries. I was very surprised when I heard this, because I was expecting a better night life than the one in Turkey. Another important thing is the age limit to enter the club. It is 21 and it is controlled very strickly. If you don't have a California ID, you have to bring your passport with you and be sure that they will check your passport very carefully. Also, there is a cover fee in most clubs where you have to pay a specific amount of money to enter to the club. It is mostly between $5-$20 and it doesn't include drink.
