Friday to Saturday

Friday: Hamlet's Castle

We went to visit the Hamlet's Castle. Kronborg is known by many also as "Elsinore," the setting of William Shakespeare's famous tragedy Hamlet, Prince of Denmark. The interior of the castle were really interesting with different settings of the rooms that the royals stayed in as well as the ballroom.

There were lots of duckling and swan swimming around the lake near the Hamlet's Castle.

Took a photo together before entering the castle.

Look at how magnificent the castle looks from the inside!
 Notice the guy in black sitting there? There is suppose to be a fountain at the spot that he was sitting but it was 'stolen' from the castle. 

The picture below is the miniature sculpture of how the fountain would look like if its still in the castle.

Saturday: Day trip to Sweden

A trip to Sweden before practicum officially begins! We took a train ride to Malmo, Sweden. It only took half an hour for us to reached there. Greeted by Turning Torso, the tallest residential building in Sweden.

 

After a long walk we finally reached the dog park. The park is really huge and it is such a beautiful place.

Swans with cygnets. :)

After visiting the dog park, our next destination was the museums! 

Malmö museums

The museum have displays of the cars, trucks, utensils, movie and many other things from the past in Sweden. 

They even had a submarine (U3 submarine) where we can go in and take a look at how the interior looks like.

An attempt by Gunita to pull the bag which weighs 75kg, which is equivalent to the weight that each horse had to pull in the past.

Besides the photos shown above, there was also a section where they describe the inventions of various technology from the past that relates to physics and chemistry. There was also an area which had specimens of various animals and insects. Also a level where it had different science experiments that we could try out, it was really insightful and we definitely learned and had a lot of fun there.
