Well, you're living a life diametrically opposed to mine at the moment. For the past several months I've been riding a train in rush hour to the city and walking through massive crowds of people. It's the first time I've had a job with regular 9 - 5 hours and it's actually quite pleasant, so long as I don't have to do the driving.
I'd say the night is a nice place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there.
