What? The world cup? The apocalypse? No, of course not. Just our OneDollarGlasses training in Brazil. Basically, we arrived at the homeless shelter, only to find 1 (in words: ONE) trainee there. We were quite astonished, since we had already done exercises with 8 trainees beforehand and expected them to be there aswell. So we just recruited more, eventually ending up with 12 trainees. Before that, we had lunch. Where? What? C'mon, you can guess it: at the mall. Beef with rice. And fries, not beans. While we were there, we also wanted to get brazilian SIM cards. I always thought this was a quick-and-easy process. Well, it's not. It took us more than 2 hours to get them for everybody. Impressive.
Anyway, we started teaching them the art of making glasses. Language barriers are tough, but my portuguese keeps getting better. Especially helpful was the empirical market research Felipe and I conducted in the streets in order to find a meaningful name for our project in Brazil. Turns out we still have no idea what to call it, but the name doesn't really matter to most of the people either.
We finished the day with a nice dinner. Beautifully grilled steak along with "Chopp", which is draft beer, ensured our satisfaction. We're getting along great with our fellow Enactees from Insper University and up to now, it has been a pleasure.
Bonus question: what would you put in an urinal to make it smell better? Chemical stuff? "Urinal cake"? Not in Brazil. Take a look:
