A Guide to All Nighters

"Better than doing this"
  • Have you ever had the urge to get up off the couch one evening and get together with your friends for a massive walk through the darkness and eeriness of the city at night time? 
  • Have you ever wanted to see what happens to the streets at midnight?
  • Do you like sight of the moon in the night sky beaming through the clouds of the night?
  • Can you handle leaving the comfort and warmth of your bed  for one night of your life?
  • Can you handle not being able to have a shower/brush your teeth/comb your hair/wash your face etc. for one night of your life?
  • Can you handle not having everyday comforts for one night of your life?
  • Can you handle handle getting tetnis?
All yes?   ....... except for the last one?

Then why not go on an all nighter on the town?

There are loads of things to do in the city at night and its lots of fun. Not to mention the experience of living it down!

Here is a list of things you MUST do if you choose to encounter an all nighter with you and your friends!:

  • Make sure you wait till a shopping centre is opened and sleep in the food court. There is a complex in Darling Harbour that is perfect for this!
  • Make sure you have a couple of people who dog you on the way. 2 is a reasonable number. What you can do is make one of you friends go home by walking past a train station that goes to his house. He is bound to leave if you do that. For your other dog friend you can walk kind of close to his house and he will soon become 'sick' and want to go home.
  • A perfect situation and environment for an all nighter is in winter when it is cold, windy and rainy.
  • A good opportunity to have an all nighter is after a party that is really far away from your house. A good 2 hour walk is the perfect distance.
  • You also gotta make sure you go somewhere that tempts you to walk back home instead of catching a bus or train. For example you go to an area where you HAVE to walk home because there are no services to you and your friends houses from there.
  • It's nice if your group splits up at some point in the night.
  • Make sure one of your friends loves techno music and brings his headphones to play really loud while you try to sleep in the comfort of  the food court.
  • Try not to bring necessary clothes for the weather conditions. For example if it's winter.  Just don't bring a jumper. It's great!
  • Don't tell your parents!
  • Steal food from the party you leave from. Apples and Rice Crackers are perfect!
  • Bring Stickers (Triple JJJ stickers are most suited) and stick them as you travel in the greatness of the night.

Here is a great route idea for your All Nighter. (click to enlarge)

And that concludes my guide to All Nighters. It's been a pleasure and Good Luck!
