For 9 days last week I went to Northern Europe's largest music festival where 130,000 other people were gathered at the same place to camp together, watch concerts and just have a good time with eachother. It was INCREDIBLE!
The first 5 days were spent having fun camping with 85,000 other people.
I have never drunk so much in my entire life! My first beer was already on the train to Roskilde, and I had at least 7 beers a day, plus other Danish spirits. I even took a raket, where you drink 3 beers in one go, then 2 beers in one go, and then one final beer which is such a challenge to swallow! I managed to drink the 6 beers in 31 minutes, which was somewhat disappointing as others in my camp could drink them in under 5 minutes. When we weren't taking rakets, we were finding other ways to drink more beer, such as beer-bowling and a boardgames with beer penalties!
The music was amazing too! I saw 16 bands in total, ranging from popular Danish artists like Oh Land, Medina, Veto, De Eneste To and L.O.C. and then world famous Kings of Leon, My Chemical Romance, Deadmau5, M.I.A., Arctic Monkeys and The Strokes!
I had SO much fun at Roskilde! After not being able to take a shower for that long (although I went skinny-dipping in a FREEZING COLD lake so that kinda counted as a shower;)) and using non-flushable toilets didn't dampen anyone's mood at the festival and everyone was so happy and we had the times of our lives!
I made a lot of new friends and many great memories ranging from saving someones life to dancing all night with random people walking by! Those 9 days at Roskilde Festival have been the best days in Denmark so far and I am just so grateful I got to spend it with the nicest people you'll ever meet in Denmark :)
The only bad thing about having so much fun for over a week with only few hours sleep each day, is that this week I have been like a zombie. What's worse was that each day this week I had driving lessons at 10am so haven't had a chance to sleep in! Let's just say my driving instructor wasn't very impressed with my driving this week (and I had to drive on a motorway at 130km too!). But now my bags are packed and ready for my next summer experience: a journey up through Sweden and Norway to visit my beautiful Norwegian friend Kristine in Tromsø- and experience the Midnight Sun!!!! I leave tomorrow!
