Time fills up differently when you're alone. Not in a bad way, just a different one.

to people who travel alone:

What do you do when you're in a big city at night? I've always had some sort of project, before, or some means of meeting people who also had nothing to do at night. Or I've been in the middle of nowhere, where clubs and such are patently not an option. I love wandering around alone during the day, but somehow, a Saturday night just has more baggage than a Thursday afternoon. I feel like I should be doing something more than just wandering the canals.

Don't get me wrong -- this is a gorgeous city, and I'm happy to be wandering the canals. The air is perfect for it, and since it rained today, everything's all shiny. I'm just wondering what *else* I should be doing.
