imho its the crowd that drives me further.
In Berghain I overloaded my sensory field! It wasnt so radical as everyone told me. The visitors were somehow amputated from each other. Plus on top of it Im having a serious back_pain problems so I cannot dance.
After a while I had oportunity to step in one strange party, in Romania, that was held in the middle of cave & thick forest.
It was far less music quality around us but people was not so distant from each other.
Also I do prefer to visit regional festivities like "Fete Lumiere" in Lyon. Been there couple of times and Im preparing another round.
