Today the O-week has started at Griffith university. O-week is an orientation week with activities and workshops to help/welcome new students get started at the University and also the domestic students coming back from holiday.
The past weeks our Danish student group almost had the uni for ourselves, because all domestic students were on holiday. Only the international students - of which 80% were Asian - were studying in the past weeks. And yes - there is really many Asian students taking their education in Australia.
Anyway, for some reason we also had entry to all the cool activities and best of all looots of free stuff from the workshops - though we are not new students ;-)
Among many things we got a water bottle, school materials, magazines, cap, bag, fruit & candy, calendar and a photo with silly accessories. In addition the school provided free BBQ, energy drinks and candy floss - I guess you can imagine how crowded there were at the workshops...
Right next to the BBQ outside there was a bouncing castle competition, which we of course also needed to give a try or two! The whole atmosphere at school was amazing - people were happy and the school hired a DJ playing music.
