There is a tradition in Denmark at most kollegiets (dorms) of a party called Tour de Chambre. It’s supposedly French for “tour of the rooms”. Each person in the kitchen creates a theme for their room and they decorate, have a related drink and game. Taylor helped me on ideas and they were all so good that I just finally decided my theme on the Wednesday before the party… PROM. This is super American and the only idea Danes have of prom is what they see in movies. Andrew helped me decorate my room with balloons, streamers, paper stars, a typical prom photo backdrop, spiked punch, crowns, voting ballots, and some snacks. Great success!! Besides the spills on the floor, everything went as planned and the evening lasted quite late. Everyone had been talking about their themes in code and counting down to the day and it definitely lived up to the hype!

| Opening Pandora's Box |

| Everyone in the "period" room |
Some of the other themes included: Michael Jackson theme with tequila sunrise drinks because he dances until the sun rises with a freeze dance competition. A period theme with bloody marys, a tampon throwing contest, and tampon/pad décor. A kindergarten school theme complete with lunch bags and a drawing contest. A Paradise Hotel theme with Pandora’s box and very tropical cocktails. A Christiania theme (the free town I wrote about before) with charades. A nature theme with mojitos and a potato swinging contest. Everyone’s ideas were so creative and the 300 pictures taken account for the great time everyone had!
