Went to a so called "sittning" with Dava tonight. Every nation here in Lund has some events going on every week. Don't be afraid, student nations here don't have any political aims, it's just about bringing people together - well, it works. Tonight, the Östgöta Nationen has served a nice dinner and there was a party afterwards.
- If you want to drink wine, you're welcome, but please only order red ones (even if they serve fish) - I don't think that any bottle of white wine has ever been introduced to a fridge by any Swedish student...
- If your neighbour at table suddenly bursts into a song in the middle of your conversation - don't take it personal. This is what it's going to be like for the next three hours, cause they have to go through the WHOLE SONGBOOK!!! At a Swedish dinner, the most thrilling conversations are immediately interrupted if someone in the room starts singing. And you'll may not come back to the original topic afterwards, so you better learn to savour every moment!
- This is why ear-plugs are recommended!
- You won't be able to spot any nuances going from slightly tipsy to completely plastered. They walk in as decent quiet people and they turn into animals from the second their lips get in contact with the first glass of beer (of approximately 20, but I just guessed)...
- It may be that you start feeling very uncomfortable sqashed in the middle of this loud and drunk but extremely good-looking croud. Trying to take fresh air outside won't make you feel any better: you'll be probably horrified by the amount of people (good-looking an noisy, of course), queuing up to get in. If you start worrying about how they all will fit in or wishing you had eaten less to avoid the squeezed feeling in your stomach, it's probably time to go.
