Popcorn Alarm

 Paola M. says: "If u have to evacuate the building in the middle of the night, don't forget cigarettes and a scarf., jajaja"

You must know that you can do a lot of things in the lounges, such us play the guitar, read, watch tv and also prepare popcorns in the microwave. But, this is an advice from many friends, no kidding. Brazilian and Chilean people suggested me to tell you about the "popcorn alarm". One night, at 1 AM, the fire alarm woke us up, and, we had to leave dorms. Some of us took a jacket to put on the pyjamas, but others didn't. What had happend was that someone made popcorns in the microwave, but they burnt a little. Sensors are very sensitive, and the alarm activated. The problem is that NO ONE can enter the building after an event like this one, until firemen check the whole building and reset the device. That's about 30 minutes, but 30 minutes outside, with 10 degrees below zero... So, the advice is "watch your popcorns".
