Survival
weekend is a three-day activity that brings Erasmus students in Czech
Universities all together in the wild with bound fire and a lot of
alcohol. I know, it sounds meaningful, interesting, and extremely
exciting. But that is not why it’s called “Survival” weekend.
Surviving
requires not only wit, courage, strength but also a team to back you up
and complete deadly missions. The connection between people who face
life and death situation together is unbreakable, which was what I
shared with my teammates in those 72 hours.
We climbed and held on the tree for 15 minutes in total, yes, with beer as bonus.
We ate worms in order to live. That’s right, W-O-R-M-S
(Some of us even did a WORMS SHOT cause we have to finish ALL of them)
We were moving like worms for about 150 meters after eating worms .
( I can total feel them moving in my stomach.)
We sacrificed our clothes on the behave of the team to make the longest rope.
(Some have only boxer left while some wears only bra and thong.)
During
the survival weekend, I knew more about the culture from their country
and their Czech University. People were more willing to do things that
people in Taiwan will barely try. What’s more, I noticed the unspoken
rule here is really different from what I’m used to. When half of the
people disappeared from a party, it means more than just “going to
sleep.” And on the next day, people seem to avoid eyes contact with
certain person. How fascinating and weird at the same time that things
could be so different from what we have known.
This really is one of the best weekend in my Erasmus semester. So what are you waiting for?
All you need is Wit
Strength
Courage
And you will have your team
Eventually, SURVIVE!
Still, remember that things could be FATAL sometimes.
