In this fifth day at Lisbon, we started the day by taking a small breakfast at 6:30 am even when we woke up tired from sleeping late due to a classmate, Emmanuel, celebrating his 18th birthday. Then, after getting ready by 7 am we went to the subway to head towards Teilhadas to get to the Deutch School. We joined the French and German students who were distant at first but really friendly eventually. We got to approach them and we stayed together from 8 AM to around noon. After that we walked to the big park near the university and then we started to get to know each other. We had to break the ice, how ? First of all, we did activities like play games in the freezing weather of Lisboa ; we exchanged our names while playing with a volley ball, and the Portuguese students gave us notebooks and a Trivia Quiz with it, like "What were our feelings about Lisboa ?" or "What typical food from Lisboa did we eat ?" and etc... Then after this long morning, we hopped in the subway to Rossio station surrounding the center of the "Old town" . But we had a small problem ; a French student got uncomfortable because of her claustrophobia but fortunately the Portuguese students were there to help. And we started a rally in the old town with a limit time to 3:15 pm. In this rally we had to approach strangers to take pictures of them with their phones, ask them to read a sentence in french, ask for their favorite football team or visit some specific places in the "Old town". It was a great time because it felt like a race against time so everyone was in a rush to get their own tasks done in time. So, to conclude this day, let’s celebrate Emmanuel’s and Nnieka’s birthday, happy birthday to you :)
