27 of October - Tuesday

I think I'm spotting a pattern here.
Yesterday we had food from Minas Gerais. Today we had food from the Northeast of Brazil. This included some form pie, similar to the regular meat pie that we have every once in a while. I think they added carrots this time, though.
At any rate, we also had the Chester breasts promised to use yesterday. The desert, however, was a mouth-drying peanut mixture called paçoca. It's great, but as it's mouth-drying, a large glass of water is needed afterwards.

26 of October - Monday

Well the Playstation 3 isn't in the 6th Form Centre anymore, but of course we can't expect someone to leave their PS3 there every single day. Oh well.

I was a little bit surprised with lunch again today. The lunch menu said we were going to have "Chester in Dark Sauce" as the main course with "Ice Lolly" for desert.
Let's just say that they completely changed what we had. It was food from Minas Gerais (or at least they said it was). From Chester in Dark Sauce we had Roast Chicken that was similar to the usual one except they added some quiabo to it. The "ice lolly" which I assume was meant to be popsicles was changed to Queijo Minas with some Doce de Leite on it. Probably, though, the strangest thing in this lunch was the menu. It was more than clear that they used a simple internet translator when "Doce de Leite com Queijo Minas" was written as "Cheese and Mines".

21 of October - Wednesday

Unfortunately for Jacobs University in Germany, the talk was scheduled during our morning maths lesson. I'm sure that most students (if not all) were unable to miss out their maths lessons for a college talk. Yes, as incredible as it may seem, nobody went to the Jackson University talk.

On the other hand two very prestigious and renown universities came to talk to us during our after-lunch tutorial period: Duke University and Brown University. ITB, the computer room where the talks too place was absolutely stuffed! I don't think we've ever had a university talk with so many people! of course, the L6 were present as well as the U6.

The lunch name today also gave all of us a scare when they gave us what was called "Kung Pou Chicken". It was quite comic when many students, including myself, went to Google Images to sort of predict what sort of chicken it actually was.
Turns out it was the same chicken that we get with the Yakisoba: chiken chopped into small chunks, surrounded by vegetables and some other spices. It was pretty good; though the Meringue that was for desert still looked like it was going to sprout legs and walk off our plates. As usual. I've still never had the guts to try it. Mark my words, by the end of U6 I'll have tried it.
