Crazy Christmas Cabaret
So on the 13th of November, I went to see Fogg’s Off by the London Toast group; every year around christmas they arrange perform a show in Glashuset (The Glass House) in Tivoli Gardens, and since it’s every christmas, and since it is very crazy; it is known as the Crazy Christmas Cabaret. Every year [...]
Brownsea Island: Day 16
Day 16 (8th of August): One of the not so interesting days. I woke up early so that I could get my tent down and eat breakfast before I hitched a ride with Mr. Roberts Roberts into town (Chelmsford) where I took a bus to the airport (Stansted). There was no hiccups or anything, I just got my ticket, waited for the flight, boarded the plane and landed in Copenhagen Airport, where my father picked me up. Later in the day [...]
Brownsea Island: Day 15
Day 15 (7th of August): Do you know what it’s like waking up and having forgotten to take your contact lenses out? Well it damn well hurts. And I had managed to do just that… Now isn’t that clever? Never the less I had to get my gear together, find Sameer (the dude who pushed [...]
Brownsea Island: Day 14
Day 14 (6th of August): For the night I slept outside the wooden building everybody else was sleeping in. Due to no circulation it felt more like a sauna then a place to sleep; well that and Adam Sankey snored so loud, it sounded as if someone had stuffed a jumbo jet up his “arse”. [...]
Brownsea Island: Day 13
Day 13 (5th of August): The wakeup after the party was rough… Joe Roberts Roberts started singing… Oh misery. This was also the day that the Hispanics and Panu went to the Jamboree and left the rest of us the take down the rest of the camp… So they get to enjoy themselves while we [...]
Brownsea Island: Day 12
Day 12 (4th of August) (I must say this day will be lacking in detail, I recounted all of it in Australia): Last day with participants, it was a sad farewell to the last participants but a jubilant crowd of staff shouting “NO MORE YELLOW CARD” once the participants were out of ears reach. Back [...]
Brownsea Island: Day 11
Day 11 (3rd of August): It is really getting obvious that the camp is nearing its end, at least for the participants. We are all (the subcamp staff of wolves) taking it more relaxed, trying to fill in for each others so we can get some rest, and my voice has suddenly started recovering (I [...]
Brownsea Island: Day 10
Day 10 (2nd of August): Wow, 10 days? Time sure does fly, at least it really feels as if it has gone fast, if anyone had asked me, I would never had said 10 days. But today was special because as there are a lot fewer participants for this camp (the NCC camp) then the [...]
Scouting sunrise!
I am writing this the day after the sunrise day to better reflect on what happened and what it means to me. I have been a scout for 12 years, and we were told that this would be the peak of our lives, whether it be private or scouting… NOT! However it was special to [...]
A participants letter
On the last day of the Sunrise Camp, a participant from a country I won’t name presented me with a letter: “Jens, Thank you for all the talking, you have reminded me of things I had forgotten or just accepted. You’ve given me hope again, I cannot tell you how much it has meant that [...]
Brownsea Island: Day 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9
A lot of information coming up by the time this post is done, even though I have to write it over several times. Day 5 (28th of July): A morning like so many else, except that on this day the first camp (the Patrol Leader camp) was to end. So the day was without activities [...]
Florida: Day 9 of the total of 8 days
I know it sounds odd with a day 9 out of 8, but I didn’t get home until monday, so the trip actually took 9 days. The food on the airplane was horrible, something that they liked to call chicken. And when I finally got home, instead of trying to stay up to my normal [...]
Florida: Day 8 of the total of 8 days
As this day started tensions were bad between me and my father (not surprisingly), but we did manage to get to the News Café for breakfast (my sister as well) where we ate our breakfast when suddenly (and from nowhere) it started pouring down so hard, that even though we were sitting under a big [...]
Florida: Day 7 of the total of 8 days
This day was overshadowed by an event that is never occurred to me before. Corporal punishment was exercised upon me, executed by my father. Or well the attempt to do, I fended off the attack before he could actually strike me. I don’t don’t know what could of experience you (the reader) has with this, [...]
Florida: Day 6 of the total of 8 days
We got up, did the traditional stuff (father and sister bathing, then eating breakfast), and headed out for what I had looked most forward to of the entire trip…. The Everglades. Originally we were supposed to be in Miami for 2 days and everglades for 2 days. That of course turned into 3,5 days in [...]
Florida: Day 5 of the total of 8 days
We woke up, my sister and father went for the pool, while I read my book and took a regular shower. Afterwards we ate breakfast and went for a walk around the Keys. But we then went out on a boattrip at 13 o’clock, and that was so much fun. We had to sail for [...]
Florida: Day 4 of the total of 8 days
We started out early after eating the hotel breakfast (scramble-egg, bacon and sausages as usual) and drive a very long trip from Miami Beach to Key West (where I am now) where we spent the rest of the day (arrived around 3 or 4 o’clock) walking around the city looking at shops and eating lunch [...]
Florida: Day 1, 2 and 3 of the total 8 days
This is a description of my first 3 days in Florida with my family, all of the 3 days being in Miami Beach, Florida. Staying at the Doubletree Hotel on Collin’s Avenue 1717. For the duration of the vacation I will be together with my sister and my father. Day 1 (July 8th): Got up [...]
