  • Beer Pong Extravaganza – Videoblogging Week 2006 – Day 5

    I had been in America for six month before i got to play the fine game of Beer Pong. And to tell the truth its not fine at all – its pretty disgusting The game is about getting a ping ping ball in your opponents cups. The cups are filled with beer so when someone actually hits a cup the opponent has to drink that cup. Needless to say the ball goes on the floor pretty often. To clean the ball each team has a cup with water where the ball is washed before each play.

    It is interesting how beer games are different from Denmark to USA over here it takes up a lot of space playing games like flip cup or beer pong – in Denmark is more often dice or cards. The whole house party thing (which is huge in a collegetown like Ann Arbor) is completely unknown in Denmark. If we have a big party its usually by invitation or its a bigger party arranged by a sports club or similar. In Denmark you only get kegs to big parties and then you usually get a decent tab and a cooling system along with it.
    – The reason for this, Im pretty sure, is because of the alcohol culture. In Denmark you can buy alcohol in stores from you are 16 over here you have to be 21, five years later – oh and it is (as far as ive been told) even illeagal to consume alcohol if you are not under 21

    Anyways here is what I shot that day.

  • Longhorn Rodeo Videoblogging Week 2006 – Day 2

    Nascar, Monster Truck and Rodeo are some of the cultural events that in America seems to be classified as only for rednecks or not-liberal. One of my co-workers told me that her family stopped going to rodeo for this reason, at some point we just stopped because rodeo seemed to be stigmatized as some thing that people from our area didnt do. Needless to say Ann Arbor is a pretty liberal place, which Im usually very happy for.

    February 16th rodeo came to town – and I didnt think there were that many cowboy hats in Michigan. Here is a handful of clips of different disciplines in the show. Actual rodeo is at the end.

    Saw at Andreas� (Solitude.dk) site that Videoblogging Week was this week.

    This is how to pronounce a Danish dessert called Rødgrød med Fløde. See another flavor of this at Tracy Lynn Apps blog.
