It’s a small world

In my French school today we did an exercise where we did some role-playing. I really don’t like those activites but they usually do turn out to be worthwhile and occasionally fun. In today’s exercise, half the class (4 of us) were roommates from different countries who were interviewing a person to be the 5th roommate. So we “interviewed” 3 of the others in the class.

One person “role-played” being a Norwegian fisherman. That was pretty bizarre. Another person played a young girl from Italy and the last person played a man from Germany.

After we asked questions and laughed a lot, we had to decide which one to pick for our roommate. Nobody wanted the fisherman... we thought his dirty clothes would smell up the apartment. So it was a tie between the other two and we couldn’t decide. Finally, two of our classmates (one Swiss and the other Japanese) decided to settle it by doing the “ROCK PAPER SCISSORS” thing. I was pretty shocked that it worked just like I did it when I was a kid. The only difference was that they started by placing their hands behind their backs instead of onto the other hand. So I showed them the “American way” to do it!

It’s a small world after all. Well no wonder... click here!
