Delegation of the day: Latvia

05.07.2009.

Finally the day of our delegation has come!

In the morning we woke up everybody with the sounds of our national band “Brainstorm”. We were given the honor to decide the order of tables which went to get their breakfast, lunch and dinner. The winners of the competition were the first ones to get their daily meals. So in breakfast everyone had to do pantomime (guess what the person is showing without words). The words were quite easy (snowflake, president, etc.) and competition between contestants was strong. It was a matter of a second who got first place. At lunch we asked such questions as “which country has the most similar flag to Latvia’s?”. And we were happy we got a correct answer – Austria. Also we asked about “how many birthdays our delegation has during village. And for that we also got an answer – 3 of us have birthdays during our village out of total 7. The most annoying task to decide the winner of who gets dinner first was how to spell “saursliezu dzelzcels”. It’s hard even sometimes for us, Latvians, to do it.

The topic of the day was the national night of Guatemala, wow, and that really was a show! Southern temper and emotions dominated that evening.

And of course there were the usual lullabies which we all love. As a delegation of the day we had the right to pick the lullabies we sang together.

That was emotional and awesome!
