Thursday it was time for the Latvian reception at the best and prettiest tea lounge in Copenhagen:
Tante T in Museum of Copenhagen. We were so lucky that Tante T was willing to lend us their beautiful Garden Lounge and sponsor tea, coffee and cakes for all the invited guests. The day before Tante T had just opened their outside terrace, which the guests had the pleasure of enjoying. Additionally,
Museum of Copenhagen gave everyone free admission to the museum as well.
The doors opened at 14 and 30 minutes later the lounge was packed. Jöran, Katrina, Raitis and Guntis were looking sharp as ever, and warmly welcomed all the guests. Besides the special invited international press delegates, also the Eurovision participants from Estonia, Lithuania, Albania and Armenia also guested the reception.
Aarzemnieki had brought their instruments for some acoustic surprises, and entertained with several tunes before they opened up for a jam session on the stage. Hersi from Albania jumped into an improvised version of "Vivo Per Lei", and well - brave girl!
Tante T had been busy and baked a table of lovely cakes for us! All home made with quality ingredients. As a tea lounge the place is famous for their many kinds of tea, and we have to say one of our favourites is the Cool Mint flavour!
The 50 first guests were even given a small goodie bag from Tante T - so we must say that Tante T were as generous as ever, and it was in every way thinkable the perfect location for this event!
The musical entertainment included a sing-a-long performance of "Paldies Latinam". 2Pixies was struggling with the words, since their Latvian is not that great - yet.
Later also Aram MP3 from Armenia was ready for some cakey jamming fun with the band.
We had a wonderful day and want to give a HUGE thanks to store manager uncle Anders and the lovely aunties at Tante T, Museum of Copenhagen, LTV
Latvijas Televīzija and of course to Aarzemnieki for a great afternoon!
