"Talent" night (maybe not so talented...)

Alle GRSP studerende samt trustees : All the GRSP students and trustees

Ja, der blev taget et par billeder - eller nærmere flere tusinde. Uden at have talt, var der nok ca. 20 fotografer i gang i løbet af lørdag aften :-) 

Efter endnu flere oplæg, herunder et oplæg omkring amerikansk lovgivning ifht. alkohol, stoffer, og kørsel, var der nemlig "talent show", hvilket kan være problematisk når man ikke umiddelbart har en masse talenter. Vi lavede den klassiske og gik sammen alle 8 danskere for at lave noget om Danmark. Vores, efter min mening, rimeligt succesfulde indslag, bestod af fun facts about Denmark og lidt lanciers. I kan se lidt af skowet her. Hvis I klikker på linket, vil I desuden kunne finde flere af de andre indslag på youtube. 

Vores weekend-værter har virkeligt kørt os rundt i de få timer de har haft os. Vi har været på IHOP (International House of Pancakes) til morgenmad, til frokost forskellige steder, samt is til dessert. I stedet for at køre i bil, har vi kørt i denne her... 

Der har været mange snakke med vores weekend-værter om kultur henover bordet, og det har været en særligt god oplevelse eftersom de har et helt andet syn på kulturen, da de også selv har en anden baggrund. 

I morgen slutter weekenden med white river rafting på Chattahoochee river, og så den lange tur hjem til Valdosta.

Yes, a few pictures were taken - or more like a thousand. Without having counted, there were more than 20 photographers Saturday night :-)

After a new set of speeches, including one about American law in relations to alcohol, drugs and driving, it was time for the talent show, which can be quite a challenge, when you don't really have a talent. We did what you usually do, and got together in the Danish group (4 guys, 4 girls), to make a short performance about Denmark. Our, in my opinion, pretty successful show, included fun facts about Denmark and a bit of Les Lanciers. You can see a bit of the show here. By following the link to Youtube, you can also find some of the other shows. 

Our weekend hosts have really been driving us around all weekend. From IHOP in the morning, to different places for afternoon lunch/snack, and ice cream for dessert. Rather than driving in cars, we've been driving an old school bus, which was pretty cool.

There have been a lot of chats with our weekend hosts about culture, and it has been an especially good experience since they themselves have a different background, and therefore an entirely different perspective on American culture. 

Tomorrow, we'll end the weekend with white river rafting on the Chattahoochee river, and then we'll go the long way home to Valdosta.
