Getting a job in the United States is a great thing, but it won’t be the entirety of your life. There is time to work during the day, there is time to sleep and then there is the time when you are neither working nor sleeping. This is called leisure time.
Finding out what you want to do during your leisure time is probably not a problem. You know what you enjoy doing and you are entitled to avail yourself to that end freely, but the US is a land of options and there are many ways to spend one’s leisure time that might not be immediately apparent.
Many Americans spend their leisure time engaged in something casually called “evening entertainment” also known as “going to a show”. These shows are often very large social engagements that center on professional entertainers.
There are very many different varieties of evening entertainment like movies, plays, musicals, operas, symphonies, rock concerts, formal dances, sports events and the like.
Before, many of these shows were categorized into high-class or low-class. Certain people were only allowed into certain events and it was considered taboo for those lines to be crossed. Symphonies and operas were “high-class” and rock concerts and dance clubs were considered to be “low class”. But these distinctions are completely useless nowadays and people of all different levels of social strata have access to these events.
You can find out about evening entertainment from many different sources such as local newspapers or televisions stations, flyers or notice boards in public places.
Trying out new forms of entertainment is just another part of exploring the exciting nature of being an immigrant in the United States. There are so many cultural events available that it is only a short matter of time before you find another favorite pastime!
