Bloodgroup concert.

On Saturday (10.11) we went to a Bloodgroup concert in Akureyri. I heard this band first time on the concert in Reykjavik, during the Art Night Festival. I mentioned it already in one of my posts, so just to remind you, this is their MySpace page: http://www.myspace.com/bloodgroup. They play good, "ear-catching" (I hope Magda, I can use your expression also here? :)) mix of electro-pop and alternative rock. They really kick ass on concerts, I bought their CD and also got their autographs :)


They had two bands playing before them as a support - first one was DLX ATX, a new formed band playing strange, but interesting mix of drum and bass. You can check one of their songs on YouTube:




Next one was Skátar, Icelandic viking rock band. They were wearing really funny clothes :)






And then the Bloodgroup - they gave a great concert :)


Small off-topic - picture from a strange accident which happened next to our dorm - apparently guy tried to escape from the accident he caused few minutes before that one.

Rafting in Iceland.

On Sunday we finally went rafting. We were planning to do this for a long time and finally it happened! Just one word to describe it - AWESOME!

Guides were from Nepal - great guys. They actually do that all year long - during the summer they work in Iceland, and the rest of the year - in Nepal. They said, that they never did this at this time of the year here, they were going home the following morning :)




Zipping the dry suits required some help.




Some quick instructions.


Then we were rafting - great experience, I don't have many pictures, but we order a movie which the guy was shooting during the trip. I'll try to post it here when I get it. I hope they recorded our fall in the spot called "Green Room" - it had to look great.

Movie is here!


At the end of the raft we had opportunity to jump from the 8m rock!


Great thing to do here - I highly recommend it. The best period to do rafting is between June and July. Then the current is strongest and the water has higher level. You can also visit their website - www.rafting.is.

Simply the RES!

On Friday, 3rd of October, the Sprellmót - department fight - took place on University of Akureyri. Because RES is not so small school (in Icelandic standards) and we actively participate in students live at the University, we had our own team. We started from helping Stafnbui, friendly Science department, to protect their beautiful sex-doll from nasty Nurse department. So we gathered in one of the buildings and put some of our "dirty" thoughts on the doll :)


Then we went to the city center, where the screaming contest took place.








After that, all a bit drunk already, we left for the sports hall near Akureyri, to continue with other contests:
Beer relay.


Shot relay.


As you can see some of us were really thirsty :P




Tug of war...


...and eating competition with Iron-Stomach Pedro as our representative.




After that we had a small break for visiting Vinbud (liquor shop) and restocking our supplies for the evening. We went to Sjallin, nice club, in which the last two contest took place: singing and beer-bong competitions.


With this great song we won the singing contest!
The jury counted the points and we scored second in the whole day (we were also first in shot relay). Not bad for the first time, huh? :)
