Volley Ball match of my Professors - Very coooooooooooooollllllllllllll...

Our professors Manel and Paulo used to play volley ball every thursday evening.

Prof.Paulo invited me to watch their match... Obviously I wanted to go... Today morning Paulo (I can call by their names- I dont want to be so farmal.. okay?) confirmed me the timings.. I suppose to wait in my lab at 6.20 pm. so that he can take me with him.. I was finished my work and waiitng for him.. he came and said he had already three persons to go with him so he asked Manel to take me to that place..

So myself and Manel went there.. I was just waiting for all of them to get ready.. they were warming up and assembled for the group photo.. I was here the photographer...

Village Market - Matosinhos

It was a interesting visit for me... First time I get caught with the ticket checking inspector in metro (city train). I had the ticket but with the wrong zone.. Infact I didnt know and also i almost forgot to look the zones... so comes the problem.. I was really confident enough to show my ticket but when he started asking me the details of the trip then I thought I was in trouble.. I asked him is taht any problem? he said Yes.. you are in differnt zone.. then i relaised and I asked him sorry.. He took me down from the metro in some station and he took me to the ticket machine and showed how should i recharge the ticket.. i felt ashamed... I said him thanks for teaching me the important information.. otherwise I should have paid 95 euros fine.. He was really kind to me.. he asked me then where do i need to go.. I said him I need to visit the market.. then We both travelled in a next metro.. after some stations he said this is the market pls get down.. he was also with me.. i was saying him no this is not the market I wish to go.. i beelive that its in next stop.. before confirming the metro went.. after i said him in detail he felt very sorry and then I suppose to wait for more ten mins for the next metro to reach that market.. It started like that..

This was the train staion I waited for more ten mins.. I am laughing now thinking abt the past.. How silly I was...

SEMANA DA ENERGIA E AMBIENTE - Race...

Guys,

I Planned to stay in my home during the weekend.. its because of two reasons.. one is here its terribly hot.. and the other thing is there will be a car race in my street. There were big publicity for this race on saturday from 8.30 am to 7.30 pm..

So I was so eager to see the race.. It was realy funny we were expecting big cars.... (so pls guys dont expect a big cars.... ha ha ha) ,but you know to celebrate the energy week the race was conducted with the car (kind of) running by gravity.. ha ha ha.. i guess they selected our strret since ours is the deepest street as much as I know...

Our street name is Rua D Pedro V (dho pedhro kinthu- in porthugues) .. its a kind of busiest street during weekdays..

Most of the people like this street very much since it has trees on both sides and end in the river.. I always wanted to take a picture without cars.. but its almost impossible.. but i could make it yesterday becasue the closed the street for the race..

Here is the view of the closed street .. and my residence.. you can see my room from this picture.. my room is in the last floor and third window from left..

This is the view of the other side of the street..

we were really waiting to see the race.. I am with Joaquim.. He is the innocent boy i have ever seen.. so nice person..

And with Nuno - one of our Segurancas (means securities)...

And with residence people.. We are all waiting to see the race..

Here comes the cars... very interesting thing is those are made by themselfs.. running just by gravity..

The selected persons are going up by holding the rope in the van...

After watching some rounds we decided to go up and see the starting point... myself , Pankaj and Bibhu (Two Indians boys have come for two months training programme from IIT, karakpur) went up and took some pictures of the cars..

Here are the participants with their cars...

One of my favorite cars is this..

So you know we are very curious to take picture in sitting with those cars.. One person saw us and said us to take picture by sitting in the car.. we were so happy to take pictures with the cars..

here comes first the Bibhu...

and of course me..

Lsat but not least Pankaj..

Two young boys were ready to start the race..

Then we decided to go at the end of the street to see the finishing ..

thats finishing the final.

So I spent all my day with this.. and for the compliment I got the tea shirt.. i was happy to receive it for free.. ha ha ha.. I am happy that i have got one good gift for one in my family..

ha ha ha...
