Valborg is the most random meaningless festival ever. But for some reason once a year, Swedes gather at points around the country to drink, dance, and set things on fire. With no real idea of why the hell you are doing these things among crowds of thousands.
Uppsala is an awsome city. Though the council (or kommun) organized a stage and heaps of bands and dj's, they didnt organize any toilets. so a lot of piss could be seen in gutters, around trees and on buildings. I even saw one girl squatting behind a bike rack, not very private.
Whoops this picture should be flipped. We met up with Ellen, Agnes' friend from highschool in Stockholm, who is even mre bubbly than Agnes (if possible) and more friends BamBam, her bf Seb and her friend Nadya, who was a Finnish/Chillian born in Sweden. (an interesting mix). BamBam is a really cool dancer and she showed us these awsome clips of her with her crew in tacky 80's style videos she did.
There were parties going on in all different parts of the city, a park called Ekonomikum was the biggest one, with the stage, but after that cleared out (refer to picture of all the rubbish left behind below) we headed over to a sick reggae party in a student accomodation area. we had a svenska BBQ (with korv) and smoked some vattenpipa in the hot sun. I actually got a tan. in Sweden. how bizzare!
There was quite a lot of sick svensk fashion.
Then we head to another party, in Studentvägen, where Ellen lives, with an electro dj. by this time it was dark and time to start fires! :)
We started our own valborg fire as i was drunk and acting like a small arsonisitc child. is arsonistic a word? An old Ecudorian man came to our resuce and started the fire for us really. Hes my hero.
Heres a vid of the reggae party.
