Motivation Weekend in Copenhagen
After a few weeks of no activities after the summer course, it was time for some work and party again :)
It was time once again for a Motivation Weekend (MW) the weekend from the 17th to 19th of September.
It was the It was a much needed one for us especially, after a bit of stress from the summer course and re-exams. The MW was in Copenhagen and even the LBG (Local BEST Group) from Aalborg was also joining us.
We were 3 people from Lund, and we were the dinner responsible for the first night.
Since everyone was really hungry when we arrived we got a lot help form other hungry BESTies to prepare the meal. After a great dinner we started with some get-to-know games since there were a lot of new people, which was good to see.
As one would expect we also had lots of Danish BEER, and I am not sure how many of us could remember each others names ;) :) but, still it was a lot of fun.
After a few round, no one remembers much what followed, it was just great music, some Tunak-Tunak dancing and all ended only after everyone went to bed.

3 BESTies from Lund relaxing after the dinner
The next morning everyone was a bit sleepy and no one woke up before 10 am. After some breakfast, it was time for some serious work.
We had two parallel sessions, one with PM preparations for the expereinced members and one for new members about the structure of BEST.
President's Meet (PM) is a big BET event for which Copenhagen, Lund and Aalborg are planning to be the host 2011.
It was necessary to do some brainstorming about it since it will be decided during this year's PM during November 2010 in Krakow, Poland. The session was rewarding and we came up with some great ideas of how to convince other BESTies that we will make it L-E-G-E-N-D-A-R-Y.
Morten teaching new BESTies more about the organization
After a long day it was time for the last evening together, International Evening (IE).
Usually, we represent our own country in IE, but to make it more memorable, we were asked to choose some other different country and represent it.
So, we had countries like Scotland, Australia, Unknown Country from Africa and so on, the countries we usually don't see in IE's in BEST :)

We, from Lund, decided to represent, the country that no more exists, USSR, so we had our leader Lenin, Stalin and Gorbechev at our table and it was so much funny ;)

Rest of the evening was a typical IE!
Lot of fun and tastng food and drinks from different countes. We even got complaint from the neighbours and we had to lower the music. But, it did not stop us from continuing dancing and having singing sessions, Hel-And-Gore and some Danish drinking songs. It was an evening to remember for ever :)
