Every 4 years the university students put on a production called the Lundakarnevöl. They take over a big chunk of downtown Lund and set up booths with games and such. It lasts for three days. On Wednesday they invited ESS to come for a dress rehearsal of the Cirkus. Chris met me in town and we walked over.
We were lucky because the rain had stopped just before we got there. The whole event is centered around political and controversial satire. It's a bit difficult to get humor in another language and culture, but some things are easy. There was a parade on Sunday that we hoped to attend, but it rained buckets, and we opted not to stand in the rain.
You could play silly games at booths like this. No prizes, just fun.
They had a tent set up for food, and we each got a hot dog and a drink. The drinks even had themed cans.
There was a big top!
I couldn't really tell you what it was about, it was in Swedish, but there was juggling and unicycles and Viking shenanigans, you know, the usual. Seems like some girl came from the future with her pear tablet then random weird stuff like aliens and a dying tiger happened.
Maybe it was clever?? Chris said he knew what was going on, at least one of us did.
