I’ve heard lots of weird stuff about the IK, things that make you think “uhm, right” and when I finally was there – I found it was all true!

It IS very interesting, you meet LOTS of new people, they are all crazy and it takes you approximately 2 weeks to settle back into normal life again. (I’m not sure on the last part, I’ve only been home for 4 days and I’m not settled yet…)

So, here’s what I learned:

  • WHERE THE CASTLE IS!
  • There’s cameras everywhere
  • And I actually didn’t miss mine too much
  • One can actually make friends in a week!
  • I can make friends.
  • Apparently I have a weird sense of humor…
  • In Argentinian Tango it’s all about cooperating, communicating and finding empty spots in the room.
  • you practice improvisations by talking about it. Lots.
  • Shimponese babies are ten meters long !!!
  • what happens on IK stays on IK – but nothing really happens…
  • I can scrape my knee playing water(!)ball
  • Food is better when dispensed 5 times a day
  • but if I drink beer I can’t eat as much
  • I can actually stand to drink beer (when mixed w/ lemonade)
  • Günne makes your face wrinkly
  • Apes play Ultimatum Games. Sometimes
  • Some men have magical hands – And it’s time I saw a massage therapist
  • You don’t get half of the stuff done that you wanted to (well, I didn’t…)
  • Chasing Cars is best sung with three voices
  • If you sing lovesongs together on stage, you must be deeply in love! ;)
  • Some people just don’t get it
  • They put the pointy furniture in all the wrong places. And the doors, too.
  • what’s bed-working?
  • 8 years of training. In RUSSIA!
  • You can live w/out the internet for a week. There are even places without WiFi!
  • I can survive on 4 hours of sleep and still sing and go to 3 lectures. yay.
