Day4

In the morning we were keeping the accounts of our usage doing the 3 days in Aveiro. It didn’t come to our surprise that we had almost spent 200eEuroes in 3 days, because of all the things we had to buy to our apartment, and all the junk food we have been eating doing our “establishment”. But I think it is a healthy reminder that we need to save some money when it’s possible. I’ve already built up some kind of a psychological skepticism for things above 1Euro, hah… Because that’s what a beer cost, just joking  No, but really… we have to have in mind that if we buy too many things for 1Euro, and we don’t really need it, it will be an expensive journey.
In the evening we went upstairs to our neighbors, I’ve established some kind of a friendship already the second day I was here with our neighbor. It’s quite a funny story: It happened in the evening when our Portuguese neighbors from 3rd floor accidently dropped their laptop from their window – I think they were trying to catch the wireless net from the café around the corner, yes, sometimes you can catch it, but mostly not – They came downstairs to us, because the totally smashed up laptop landed on our balcony. No chance it would have survived that fall… They went upstairs with the “dead body” and I was thinking that maybe they knew a password for some of the other wireless networks that you can find around here. So I went upstairs to talk to them, apparently none of them spoke English, so they went to the 2nd floor (we live at 1st floor) where they knew a girl who spoke English and Portuguese. Apparently that girl just left the apartment and the pajamas wearing guy in the apartment was totally unaware of the situation. He looked like a big question mark when the two Portuguese guys were trying to explain that they were looking for the girl whose name I cannot remember… Luckily the guy, Sebastian from Slovenia, talked perfectly English so I explained what happened and my theory of their internet access.
Even though he couldn’t tell me how to get internet from the apartment, we developed some kind of nice friendship. So that evening we went upstairs, and go some beers where after we left to Praça where all the bars are located in Aveiro. We went to a club with a lot of other Erasmus students like us, and it was actually quite nice a place, just weird it already closed at 2am. It appears that many of the bars do that except for 2 big ones.
The next day he left the country, because he had his last finals that day.
