The Spy vs Spy guys were scary. They made me cry!
The Swedes have this crazy celebration on the last day of April, called Valborg (or Walpurgis). It is a big deal in Uppsala. The students build funny boats that look like floats for a parade. Then they ride them down the river through town, over the waterfall. Several of them fall apart along the way, dunking the silly students in the super cold spring melt water! Brrrrrr! They also have champagne and strawberries in the morning, and then party all day. At night they have big bonfires. We got to see the boats and some drinking, but not the bonfires... I couldn't stay up that late.
