Eighth day in Hawaii - The Hunger Game, project planning & talent show

Due to the stormy weather, the planned field trips were cancelled. Instead we all walked to Punahou at 9, and Mr. Reddy (the coordinator of SGLI) introduced us to a game called "The Hunger Game". We were all split into groups of 8 people, and each group was an imaginary island. The aim of the game was to feed the population of your island. Each team got poker chips to represent things such as fish, starch etc. The you had to trade with the other islands/teams in order to get the right food for your population. As the rounds went on the game got more and more complicated, and things like GMO's and military were introduced. Your population could increase or decrease - if the population decreased you had to do a little challenge. It was a great game, and gave us a tiny look into the complex world we live in today.

One of the challenges for population decrease was to hug all the other groups.

After The Hunger Game, we had time to plan our project. On the previous blog post, we explained our project. We spent the time well, and got a closer look into all the details our project will involve - e.g problems that'll occur and the challenges ahead.

In the evening we had the SGLI talent show. Everyone had to participate, which made for a great show. The students brought things from their culture (calligraphy, the haka dance from New Zealand, and the Swedish girls did a traditional midsummer dance), and others played piano, ukulele etc. Annesofie and Anna performed "Soul Sisters" with a huge group of the other students. Kristoffer sang "All of Me" by John Legend, with two boys from the US. It was a great show, and everyone had a nice time. In the end, we all sang "Sweet Caroline" (Elvis) which felt like a very special moment, since everyone was singing at the top of their lungs.
