En lille gåtur omkring campus her i juletiden er rigtige hyggelig! De har virkelig gjort meget for at bringe lidt julestemning ind her i de sidste uger af semesteret, f.eks. har de pyntet alle palmetræer ved skolens hovedindgang! Det ser virkeligt fint ud, men det er som om palmetræer og jul ikke helt hænger sammen for mig.
Derudover har de også lejet en skøjtebane for en aften som jeg selvfølgelig skulle prøve af!
Jeg glædede mig virkelig til at se hvordan de dog havde lavet en skøjtebane i 15 graders varme, og jeg tænkte det måtte være meget dyrt at holde isen frossen..
... Det var selvfølgelig ikke is...
Skøjtebanen bestod af store plader i en speciel slags oliebehandlet plastik, som gjorde at man med nød og næppe, næsten, kunne skøjte på det.. Det lykkedes mig da næsten af lære en brasilianer at stå på skøjter, så helt forgæves var det ikke.

A short walk around campus during Christmas is really hyggelig! (nice/cozy).. They have done a whole lot to bring in a bit of Christmas spirit for the last two weeks of the semester like decorating all the palm trees at the main entrance! It looks really nice, but for some reason palm trees and Christmas just don't go together if you ask me.
They also rented an ice skating rink for the evening, which I of course just had to try!
I was really excited to se how they managed to make an ice skating rink in 55 degree weather, and I thought to myself that it must be super expensive to keep the ice frozen..
... of course it wasn't ice...
The "ice" skating rink was made out of big boards of a special kind of oily hard plastic, which almost made it possible to do something similar to skate.. I did however almost manage to teach a Brazilian how to skate, so it wasn't completely without a purpose.
