Beer factory, test, and cooking lessons
So today we woke up early to go to a tour of the beer factory, yeah I said early. Our tour started at like 9 am, AM. It was pretty interesting though. First brewery tour I took that actually takes me into the factory, Guinness and Heineken just did a superficial tour with out the real factory machines. I saw how they made the beer and packaged it in a real hardhat! Too bad I couldn't take pictures for you to see. They gave me a beer but too bad I had a test in like 10 minutes and my teacher was standing there watching all of us like an eagle. So I took some sips but kept my head for my test, the altitude reduces your tolerance a bunch, so I didn't risk it. We went straight to school from there. I was not ready for that test especially since she last minute made it an individual oral exam over some specific topic we had learned. She would call on you and then give you a topic to talk about, it was nerve wrecking, all the kids in class were watching. I was not a fan. Oh well it finished and we ran home and got ready for our cooking lessons. They weren't actually cooking lessons. It was basically this guy cooking and talking to us about it while he made a couple of kids cut onions. I was disappointed. The salad was fabulous though. Corn (which are nothing like USA corn, huge and pasty, so good), cheese, olives, onions, tomatoes, green flat bean things, and lime with salt. Best thing ever. Nikita wanted to leave before they cooked the steak, so Nikita, Sarah and I started the worst taxi ride ever. We told him to take us to the flea market and we got to where he said it was but Nikita forgot her sunglasses at the cooking place and we had to go back. While Nikita was getting her glasses, he asked Sarah if we were lesbians. Awkward. We then rode back to where this guy "thought" we wanted to go. NOT THE FLEA MARKET. Before he would let us out though he charged us triple the price since we went back and forth. Too bad we were in the wrong place. Instead we were in a weird part of town that I didn't know and some guy tried to hit on Nikita. Finally we asked some lady where the flea market was and she told us to get a taxi. So we did and finally got there without problems. Nikita wanted to buy some jackets for her and other people. Haggling is so awkward. I helped her by telling the lady we pay this price or we leave. Haha finally got it at the price Nikita wanted. Now we are home and have to go to start a project at the coffee shop. No fun. Tonight salsa again and tomorrow rain forest!
