The areas near my home are really bright... I can't really see the stars. But they built a building near the sea and we can now go up to view the stars. Even though its bright, once your eyes get used to the sky, you can see millions of them XD
But it was a funny experience when I went. We were lying on the grass watching the stars at midnight, drinking gassy drinks and stuff and talking about our life. It was so comfortable and so beautiful... UNTIL... they turned on the spray... to water the grass... LOL
