The upcoming IOI is not just an opportunity to compete but also a chance to connect with like-minded individuals, learn about different cultures, and create memories that will last a lifetime.
I think it'd be great if we could gather and exchange souvenirs. This could be something as simple as a keychain or a postcard from your home country. It's a great way to meet new people and make connections that could last long after the contest is over.
If you're interested in exchanging souvenirs, leave a comment on what you can bring and see if someone is interested in trading with you.
See you in Hungary!!
Oh Wow, that's a nice idea! Maybe we can do the same for ICPC Egypt!!
If someone is interested, I can get some Aleppo Soap which Aleppo (my city) is widely known for, it smells and feels great, and it can also float :)
It's quite common to exchange national olympiad T-shirts, bring yours!
You guys are getting NOI T-shirts???
I was going to comment a photo of it, but I didn't have time after posting the blog, I'll probably post a photo in few hours
Bulgarians have luck as this is the first year we have NOI T-shirts :)
Nice, I will bring some T-shirts from the brazilian olympiad!
singapore even had a hoodie in 2020... one past ioi contestant almost always had it on (with the hood), but i personally think hoodies are quite useless in our climate
please let me know if you want to exchange for any of these shirts (and which)! my collection spans from 2019-2022, though 2019 is slightly darkened after going into the washing machine with dark clothes ><
Hey! I loved the hoodie, although my country isn't cold, the library I study is. What size is it? Do you want to exchange it for some "OBI" T-shirt from my previous comment?
i think it's size S, but if i recall correctly it was a bit bigger than expected. sure, i don't mind exchanging for your shirt, maybe the one on the right? :)
Sure, let's do it
Wouldn't it be fun if we exchanged drinks from our countries?
I love the idea! I can bring some Czech spa wafers, they're very soft and sweet :).
Sounds interesting. Will try to find some stuff to bring from Serbia.
Just bring your ultra mega giga skill, and take someone's gold medal!!!!!!!!!
I love you NemanjaSo2005
orz NemanjaSo2005
Will it be live-streamed?
I'll bring some Brazillian coins! Anyone else is also bringing coins/bank notes?
UPD: Just bought some "Pé de Moleque", a traditional sweet (and some chocolates, although they aren't traditional they're pretty popular over here)
