La Nancy Daily


Customs



The embarrassing situation at the customs.
On Friday morning, when get to “La Nancy” the customs were waiting for us. They gave us the passport and our identification to use in the clothes. They took the bags and saw all the things that we had brought. We couldn’t bring anything in Spanish, we must cover all the elements that we have if we want to keep it.
If was a very funny and embarrassing situation, because, in my case I laugh, of didn’t cover my bubble gum and candies. For other it was not good because the customs found “drugs” inside some student’s bags.
Of course the drugs were not real, there were plants and sugar, but it was not a comfortable situation.
Apart of the drugs, they took mobile phones; some cans foods, notes and everything that had a Spanish word.
Some of the students got angry because of being a customs; they didn’t like the idea of someone revise yours things and took it. Then, after complain, they forget about it.
After they took the elements that were in Spanish they gave us a paper that had written the name of the things that they took and why they took it.
In the last part of the paper it was a free space, where we could write a letter to the customs asking for the things in Spanish.
There we had to explain why we really need that thing, then they read the letter and think about the situation and according to this they decide if they return it or not.
Obviously, when we leave the camp in “La Nancy”, they will return to the students all our elements that were in Spanish.

An informal Job

Going on with gossip we caught another amazing one. We just don’t really know why but for the time being counsellors are really strange people. This time it has to do with both female ones, Amber Richardson from US and Jane Selmes from UK.
We have already mentioned our fantastic professional paparazzi, Leandro, who actually does an excellent work. While trying to find something nice photograph, not only he found an awesome story but he also discovered a completely gross and disgusting thing.
First of all he come across with a very big wine bottle. We mean, it was empty. After that, he kept seeking more evidence and he could see a lot of vomit in the bathroom! But that’s not all. He came quickly to my room, wake me up to show me all that staff and during our investigation through the house and the yard we found Amber and Jane lying on the grass. They were asleep!
We took a lot of pictures, but we really don’t care to show them.
However, now we know that we have been in great responsible hands!

Lost pretty underwear


On Friday night, while everybody was in bed, our great professional paparazzi, Leandro from Trenque Lauquen, caught an amazing picture. It shows woman underwear, apparently, with while and light green stripes, in the bathroom.
None of us really knew whose was it that’s why we decided to start a huge investigation on the subject so that we could discover this lovely knickers owner. I personally interviewed every girl and woman in the house, and found out that none of them had underwear such like that.
So… what a surprise! We have a boy in the house that likes wearing girl stuff! That’s why the research turned yet more exiting than before because men don’t confess this sort of things that easy (something awesome happened) no longer after we started seeking for him.
Leandro was walking along the corridor where he met Troy holding something firmly with his hand.
Our paparazzi stared at it and he could notice that the councellor had these lovely panties in his hand!
Guess what! When Leandro asked him if those were his, Troy stood there speechless and immediately run crying like a baby boy!
So, we have a winner!!
Don’t we?That was one of the best gossips we ever found!

Speedy Game




Who could imagine that the famous “Duck Goose” game could be an extreme and very dangerous activity? It is time to say the truth: This game seems to be naïf, but we are really talking about a harmful game.
I had the chance ti attend to a “
Duck Goose” competition placed in La Nancy. The game field was ok at first glance… but no one could think about what was going to happen next.
The game begins as is expected: Duck-Duck-Duck-Duck…Goose!!
So the players start running as fast as they can (one to occupy the place of the “goose”, the other one in order to catch the first one). But is in that exactly moment when the risk takes place. That apparently silly race is now so dangerous as a F1 racing. The players reach a speed of 152 km/h and that affect their traction to the ground so they slip like a Ferrari in a curve aced. Then the disaster occurs: one or both of the players fell down and you hear. Oh my leg, Oh my arm!! Somebody help me please. Some of them are rescued by the counsellor’s team but others stay lying on the ground waiting for an ambulance and/or a new pair of trousers because their knees or butts are now green because of the grass.
So, next time you are invited to a
Duck-Goose game or to the Duck-Goose Championship in Goyana, Think about it twice---or wear a helmet and a pair of kneepads!
