7 of November - Saturday

It's Saturday, 7/11 and it's the International Day at St. Paul's.

If we, the U6, are going to maintain the tradition of having an U6 trip then we have to raise money. How, you ask? Well, we set up a tent along with the many tents from different countries at the event. The difference was that we sold Panico T-shirts, offered face-painting services (although that was a bust) and we sold raffles for an off-road dirt skateboard.

Sales were not going particularly well until we decided to satisfy a popular demand: you see, whilst the Sodexho staff was providing softdrinks, they were pretty much limited to Pepsi. Most people don't really like Pepsi as much as they do Coca-Cola. We went to the local supermarket and bought a hell of a lot of Coke.

Raising the price by 1 Real didn't drop the demand any bit and we were soon running out of Coke; as was the supermarket, Pão de Acúcar!

4 of November - Wednesday

With the International Day coming up this Saturday, the School's staff began to work on the enormous tent that will be used to shade everyone.
The field, where the tent is usually set up, is not available, as it will host a football game the week after that and the inevitable mess caused by the international day will not be cleaned up in time.
The enormous tent is being set up in the middle of the open patio of the school, much to the discontent of the pupils and teachers. This is because we are forced to take large detours around the field and near the covered area in order to get to classes. I also find myself wondering how they're going to get past the milestone of setting up a tent where a massive tree lies. Undoubtedly they'll find a way, or else they wouldn't have picked that location for the tent.
