Mellanfesten

The other day I was once again at a sittning at Sydskanska Nation. I probably have mentioned the word before so you might wonder what all this is about. A sittning normally is a nice 3 course dinner, where you have to book your table in advance. Once you make your reservation you have the option of only paying for the dinner eatself, which will be something like 100-120 kr (12-14 €) or you go for the full package, which includes half a bottle of wine, one beer, one aquavit and one punsch (two different forms of snaps).



The guys working at the nations (students as well) always try to create a nice atmosphere, which includes the table set up properly, a certain seating arrangement (theres always a guy sittning next to a girl and so on) and it most of the time involves a certain dress code (at least you're expected to dress up a little bit).
In case you wonder why all the people wear somewhat silly hats, that was the theme of this sittning: "Headgear". So here's my effort for this one, together with Axel and Hagen.



After the sittning there's usually a party going on, which brings us to the headline of this posting. Whilst people where redecorating the room we went somewhere else to have a "mellanfest", which is a party in the middle of two parties, actually it was even more liquor to come. Now that you know what this means assume that you have vorfesten and afterfesten as well and you get the typical swedish weekend :-)
