Food interview and reunion party

When we got back to the hotel, the sofas and smaller tables were removed from the hall and placed in the hallway of the hotel downstairs. They were prepearing for today's Reunion Party.
The guide told us that some people will come from the government to ask us about the food we ate and they will try to work out which dishes caused the diarrhea. We went downstairs, sat down in the hallway and waited for those people, while playing cards and socializing.
The guy had an excel sheet with all the food from the first days of the olympiad and asked about them one by one. Sometimes I was confused, as I did not remember everything precisely what I ate. But mostly the answer was yes, as I tend to try all the interesting dishes on this kind of events.
About an hour later, the mentors arrived with buses and the reunion party started. Before going to the hall to eat, we talked a lot in the lobby, discussing the problems and the experiences generally. 


The best thing about theis evening was that we met the mentors, the next was the food. Finally we got normal food. It was way better than the food normally served in the hotel, so the first days' food. And incomparably better than the anti-diarrhea food fo the past days.
After the mentors left, a lot of students stayed out of their rooms. Beside the ones looking for WiFi or doing something else on their phones, everyone was socializing. We all exchanged little gifts that we brought from home and talked a lot. The atmosphere was totally different from the past days, as there was no more exam ahead of us, just two days of fun and a closing ceremony.
