Day26: Big washing day
The title says all says everything. And I also looked up some information about the interaction possibilities in Unity (the game engine we are going to use for our 3D project).
Day25
We got our new tasks, and my job is to look for some textures to our models, and to figure out how to open the doors on my model in Unity.
In the evening we went to see Shutter Island at the cinema at Forum. 5Euroes for the ticket (student price) and 1.8Eures for ½liter soda that cheap compared to the prices I’m used to in Denmark. We pay at least 13Euroes for the ticket and 4Euroes for the ½liter coke. The film was okay, at the beginning I thought it was boring until I realized what the movie was all about in the end of the movie. Hope I didn’t spoil too much already :P
After that we went to Praca, of course, it was Thursday, and that the night you go out. We met some Erasmus students and had a great time.

Day24:
Today I finished the first door way, and had to help my friend with his last work in order to reach the deadline the next day. I think the result is okay, not too bad, but neither great.
Thelma stopped by that evening, it has been a while since we have seen her, but she is okay now, and the injuries seem to heal very nice.

Day23:
So this night we went out with our new friend Hugo. We are going to help him with his master project about the life as an Erasmus in Aveiro. He needs us to get into the Erasmus community so he can interview them, and learn about the Erasmus. We talked a lot before going to Santos bar, the place where the Erasmus people hang out every Tuesday night.
Hugo definitely loves to talk, haha, and that’s fine since we got a lot of information about the Portuguese people and their passion for soccer. Not that I haven’t realized that since every place with a television is tuned on some soccer game.
So we went to the Erasmus party, but we hanged out with most of Hugo’s friends outside the bar, yes, Portuguese people love to hangout outside the bars at Praca. They basically go to some bar, buy a beer, and go outside again…It seems that 1Euro for a beer is expensive, since you can buy one for 20cent at the supermarket… hmm, I think a Portuguese would have quite a chock if he wanted to buy a beer in Denmark… we pay like 5Euroes for one at the bars in Copenhagen.
New words that I learned:
Tu és muito bonita = You are very beautiful (useless I think…)
Vai-te foder = Go fuck yourself (maybe a bit harsh, don’t you think?)

Day22 Monday: We have ants 4sure!
Sometimes we see some ants walking around our apartment, and we know we have an ant issue. We have told the owner of the apartment about the issue, but because she is old and Portuguese, and probably evil, I think I will spare myself for further troubles and just ignore the ants walking on my table next to my computer, cloth and my sweets… Actually it’s because of the sweets we really found out that we had a problem. We bought some coke from the Mini Preco (supermarket) down stairs, and I decided to have a cup of coke. I put it next to the window where I also had put some candy. At the evening when I was practicing my network security skills my mate saw all the ants around my cup of coke and the sweets… I don’t know what to do about it, I could tell Thelma to contact the old lady, but I don’t want to bother her all the time about this shit hole, and I don’t want to buy any anti-ant spray, because I don’t think it’s my responsibility to do that… Well as the asshole I am, I’m just going to leave it like this haha.
Oh yea, since we are talking about problems at our apartment my mate told us that we had some sort of mould above the ceiling of the bathroom. Great… I think they are toxic, and therefore you shouldn’t stay too long in the bathroom… I should probably lay a note for the next stupid students NOT to rent this apartment…

Day 20 – 20-02-10
That night we went to Estação da Luz (disco far away from our home). We had to take a bus to get there, and we had some problems finding it. At our map it said the bus station was quite far away, but in fact it was really close to Forum. When we finally found the bus, people were smoking inside. The Portugal people smoke everywhere, I wonder if they know that smoking can kill (like everything else)… Some of the people inside looked quite young, but I’m not really good at judging peoples’ age, but as my friend say: “they must be 18 to get in, right?” Well I guess so…
We had some problems getting in, because no one has told us that we have to be signed up on some stupid list, and that you have to bring some girls too… It was raining and we couldn’t get home until the bus arrives at 4.30am…it was only 2am, and we had already given up, even the group next to us, who didn’t have “enough” girls tried to pull some girls into their group. We had no chance at all, and everybody there always excused themselves that they did not speak English… We gave up, and found a cab. The driver wanted 89Euroes for driving us back to Aveiro, yeah right! It shouldn’t cost that much, so we decided to make a walk around the little city. There was nothing to see except for expensive houses. We went back, and we took the chance to get in again, and finally we passed the guards and they let us in.
It was a quite big place dominated by some electronic club music. The disco was separated in the middle, but with no walls or whatever, saying that which part you may smoke in… You could also just look at the floor, if you were in doubt of which part you where at.
People or the ones I’ve met knew how to speak English, huh, what are the odds for that if no one at the entrance knew how to speak English… Seems like some people don’t want to be bothered, so they use that for an excuse… Well, I spoke with some people there, and got a lot of information about the Portuguese people and things I should experience while I was here. I should definitely try old traditional dishes, and something else that I have forgot.
We went at 6am, because that was the last bus home. I think we had a great time there even though we had some problems at the beginning, and oh yea, I found out that a cab to Aveiro shouldn’t cost more than 10Euroes…and that you could enter the disco without being on the list and having a girl, but you have to pay 90Euroes…like anyone is that stupid…

Day 19: 19-02-10
I had a hair cut today at a barber where no one knew how to speak English. It went very well, and luckily I’ve been noticing how my barber at home makes all the work so I could guide the Portuguese guy in what I wanted. 7 Euros for a haircut wasn’t bad, and even though the guy used more time in “nursing” my hair I think he did a good job. He was quite careful compared to the one who does my haircut in Denmark; he really took it easy haha.
