Burn the witch!!!  On Friday, it was Skt. Hans day, Midsummer’s day.  Celebrating the longest day of the year, communities light bonfires and place a small witch doll on top.  So if you don’t like your girlfriend, label her a witch and you can get a hassle free separation.

So Friday, Sebastian and I went to Lina’s dorm to have a BBQ.  From there, we joined the other AIESECers in Fælledparken where they had their grill.  After a drink at a cafe in trendy Nørrebro went home to pack and get ready for the ILA in Odense.  Yup, a big weekend planned!

After taking an early train with most of the Interns in København we arrived in Odense.  Most of us took a bus to Egeskov, 30min away, which is where we met everyone else.  Since most of the KBH interns missed the first night to go to the grill in Fælledparken.

Roll Call:

København:

Juan David (Colombia), Juan Jose (Mexico), SeeWei (Malaysia), Rafael (Brazil), Laurence (Belgium) and ….  all the way from the West-side of India, mixing it up on the decks, get him India (into ya)….. MC TUUUUUUUUUSHAR!!!!

Daniela (German, Odense)

Sorina (Romanian, Aalborg)

As you can see, there were three new Interns.  So it was great to get to know them better and for them to see beautiful Denmark.  So we arrived at Egeskov Slot (Castle) which is basically a place where the Count shows off all his rich toys but charges us to see them!!!  Hehehehe but it was a really nice place.  The castle is quite nice and the gardens are really really beautiful.  We had a lot of fun in the store with the Knights, Kings and Queen toys/clothes (see pictures), as well as in the Maze and Kids playground.  I think we reconnected with our inner child going on most of the rides in the playground!

After that, we went to a place called Assens (60min from Odense) on the west coast of Funen.  That’s where we pitched out tents in the garden of one of the members from AIESEC SDU.  Had a really nice and yummy BBQ outdoors.  We went for a walk to the beach and afterwards ended the evening listening to some piano and guitar by SeeWei, Morten and Henrick.

Sunday, packed all our things after breakfast then took the bus to Odense where we went on a boat ride down the river to a nice garden where we had our lunch.  Then we had ice-creams!!! Mmmmm I had smarties and Lion (chocolate bar flavoured). Was really good.  Then took the boat back and started a city tour to see some of the H.C. Andersen sights.  As he was born in Odense.

Then it was naptime on the train back to København.  A great end to a really nice, relaxing and fun weekend!!!!!  But check out the pictures, a lot of funny ones!
