Festelavn!

So what the heck is Festelavn? Festelavn.. aka the "Nordic Halloween" is basically a holiday the Danes celebrate- not really avidly though. They dress up and play games, and get some candy too. How you get candy is you have to break this thing that looks like a barrel and is basically a piñata, with a cat printed on it.. I think the danish name for it is: katten af tønden, which means the cat of the barrel. The way the game works is you hit the barrel until it breaks open, the person who does that is the queen of the barrel. Then, the person who breaks everything down completely is the king. Yeah- some weird thing! But anyway the party was pretty fun and I learned a lot of different danish traditions so that was good =)! This was in a dorm in Nærum, at my friend Matieu's (The guy on the right). Actually right now my dorm is gonna have a festelavn so I'll be going to that!

Vi ses (see you later)!
