Sorry if I'm mistaken or failing to detect your irony, but isn't Utah this highly conservative state, with a vast majority of the population being white (or Hispanic, which to me counts as "white but speaking Spanish") and where most people follow a crackpot religion which basically views fun things like sex, drugs, alcohol and homosexuality as a sin?

Comparing that to Berlin, a permissive, irreligious, hedonistic, multi-ethnic place, brimming with culture and open-minded people, seems rather far-fetched to me.

It was sarcasm, yes. There’s definitely no 24 hour club in SLC

Sorry, I kinda suspected it was sarcasm but wasn't 100% sure.

No worries, text makes it difficult and if you’re not sure on the culture of SLC, I can see it being unclear

Utah is, salt lake is the one spot of relative normalcy
