I must say that the part where I was staying was completely boring, so everything I have written about Brisbane at night - just forget it. There are some interesting stuff.
Of course, night life can't be compared to the one in Belgrade for example, but still the city is not that dead, even tho I had trouble finding walking people around midnight, there were some runners and bicycle lovers, but no people coming home drunk from the night out or stuff like that. The only night when you could see people out, yelling and drunk was the night of the State of Origins (The most important "rugby" match in Australia).
Anyways, during one of the late night walks to the hotel, I came across lime, an electric scooter - conveniently left out on the walking path, without any protection (It wasn't the first one I saw actually) - strange thing. I looked around there was no one, and scooter in the middle of nowhere, let's ride it said the voice inside my head!
10 meters later the bloody thing starts beeping so noisy... I continued for another 40 meters and abandoned the bastard. Let's be clear - My intentions were to get maybe 500m down the river and leave it there since I would leave the running/cycling pathway. Anyways 2 days later I actually investigated a bit more about the scooters - apparently it costs about $1 to unlock the scooter (to stop beeping) and then per $0.3 per minute. Imagine a bit more than 1 steem per minute. THAT'S TOO MUCH if you ask me! :)

Everything is more interesting with a glass of wine! All those colors makes me think they have a buys nightlife. Hope you finding some fun adventures to go on. Cheers!
Have no idea actually about the nightlife... I'm more for some wine in a quiet and comfy place with a glass of conversation :)
hehe that sounds like a good time right there.
Haha!! The same exact thing happened to me in Warsaw!! Me and my college were walking at night and came across one Lime scooter. And we thought to ourselves ... we don't need to have it electric we'll just pedal a bit and that thing started beeping in the middle of the night like crazy!!
But next morning. We investigated a bit and created account. Charged for 5$ - man once you are on that thing - it really doesn't matter how much it cost!!! If you still have a chance - risk 5$ and i promise you - you won't regret it! =)
We ended up charging 15$ for 4-5 days visit in Warsaw - totally worth it. It makes me wanna buy one at home :// Still resisting tho (for now).
I am already far away from Brisbane. We don't have these cool things in Sydney + student's budget is not helping either. :) But yeah, I imagine having your own scooter is awesome! And the thing is becoming so popular these days, and they can go soooo fast.
I'm busy spending money on hiking/camping equipment and searching a bicycle at the moment (and secretly want to buy some camera that has some great discount... nothing at this moment.) :( scooter is very low on my priority list :)
