Investing in Alcohol
I have officially been to one of the GREATEST bars ever, conveniently located in Barcelona. It is called the Dow Jones, and the whole concept of the bar is based off of the stock market.
There are digital LCD screens at the bar which display the price of each drink. Since there is different supply and demand of each drink, the prices fluctuate based on what is ordered. So for example when I first got there I bought a Heineken for 2.15 euro, but because I bought that beer, the price of a Heineken went up to 2.50 euro. bahaha.
Then about once or twice ever hour there is a stock market CRASH, and all the prices plummet for each drink. Then everyone races to the bar to buy drinks while they are cheap. You have 3 minutes to order your drink before the prices go back up to what they normally are. So during the stock market crash I got a Heineken for 1.95 euro. I find it entertaining that I would NEVER order Heineken in Canada because it's an imported beer and therefore more expensive, but here it's one of the cheapest beers!
The bar had a very chill but fun atmosphere. We also watched the soccer game when we first got there are a big screen tv. Barcelona won 4-0 against Sevilla. Messi scored 2 goals (he's the best played on the team.... also is quite good looking too).
Can't wait to see what other fun bars we find around the city.
