BEER OLYMPICS 2008

Friday:
The kick off was in the middle of Place de la Capitole in centre ville at 16h. The beer walk was the first event starting with the filling of  "the holy beer grail".

We passed important locations in Toulouse, Place St. Pierre being the most important one. Back again at INSA Beer Pong was next on the schedule (Hit the opponents beer glasses with a ping pong ball. First to clear the opponent's table has won). After intense battles with plenty of fun and beer Tom and I ended up winning the event!

Saturday:
A hard morning, but at 17h everyone was ready for the second event: "Beer relay". Two teams of four have to complete a round and drink a beer before the next contestant can start. It was a close shave, but my team (with Tiago, Joao and Tom) won the best of three contest (2-0). Juha, Zaid, Geir and Roberto came on a good second.

Third event was Dizzy Bat - a really difficult game. Drink the beer in the "baseball bat" as fast as possible, spin around your own axis the same amount of time as you needed to drink the beer - THEN hit the ball that someone throws at you. If you can't hit the ball you have to do the whole thing over again (Maximum three times and you can forfeit after the second). Tom won this competition as well with his time of 20 seconds. Personally I ended up with 15 minutes 20 seconds due to strict judges (I didn't finish my beer completely so 15 minutes penalty was added).

Fourth event was Flip Flop, a kind of relay as well. Four persons in each team, the first drinks his/her beer and have to flip the empty cup from upright position to bottoms-up position. The next person can then continue. First team who finishes wins.

Beer Olympics ended in centre ville after us being thrown out by the security guard (who took our Student cards and called the police, but we managed to discuss the cards back to our posession).

Sunday:
Clean up day. I went to Roberto's and he told me about the mess we had made in the kitchen in R1. It was horrible, a complete mess. Santiago, Tom, Roberto and I cleaned up the mess, leaving the fourth floor kitchen in R1 the cleanest in the entire building.

 Monday:
A new week is here and I really need to work. I'm now going to clean my appartment before I'm going to work at Bib'INSA. Oh, and tonight it's "Soirée Norvégienne", Norwegian party!
