Friday 8th August

Before football matchI didn't manage to get up and overslept in the morning, which means that I was in the hospital in time anyway:-)) And the later I arrived, the earlier I left again, because there were no patients today. I bought a monthly ticket for the underground, bus and tram. It cost me 22+2euro and especially the communication with the officer at the Carris desk was great experience...I had to at one window, fill in some forms at the next window, wait a while and then go to the underground for the metro ticket.

Now I will describe the typical meal at the canteen (both lunch and dinner are the same): In a paper bag packed cutlery, little plastic spoon (probably made in DDR, czech people understand :-)), roll in a plastic bag, orange juice (orange meaning the color, not the fruit), soup (yellow, the same all the time), main dish (meat or fish or soja or bone with a little of meat or fried mixture of see animals or hamburgers with potatoes or rice or french fries or mixed potatoes, dessert (fruit salad, melon, pudding, apple, orange, yoghurt). And it was very good everytime...:-)

After lunch I went to Baixa and saw or visited following: Museum of Geographic society, which was under construction, Casa do Alentejo (neomaurish yard and building), Church Sao Domingos, Elevador de Santa Justa (iron elevator connecting Baixa with Bairro Alto), Rua Augusta, Praca do Comercio.

At 4:30pm we have a meeting before the football match against the team of the other faculty. But even after long waiting there is no sign of our opponent. In the end we divide ourself in two teams (Viki, Roman, Pavel, Apo and me) and play at a handball pitch. After the match me, Roman and Radim keep shooting at the goal for a while. We take turns in goalkeeping and penalize by 1 pull-up (lifting the body to the horizontal bar) for not scoring the goal (keeper catches), 2 pull-ups for receiving a goal or missing the goal, 4 pull-ups for shot above the fence and minus 1 pull-up for hitting the post. After leaving the pitch we watch with Marta a group of people doing capueira. Marta takes us then by her car to the canteen and we eat our last canteen meal for next 2 days (canteen closed on weekends).

The evening is again in the sign of calimocho and we also met a "new" french student who was said to be here already since monday but I hadn't seen him yet. I go to bed at 2am.
