Uh well...just finished watching the football matches so my mind is full of it at this moment. Germany won against Argentina ( I lost a bet, damnit!) And Italy won against Ukraine. It has been really crazy out here today, with these matches, especially the one between Germany and Argentina.
Normally when I come back from work, in the train I hardly see a soul. Today I didnt have a place to sit. That is because people from all the nearby rural areas were on their way to Bremen.
And when I reached Bremen, it was crazier! People wearing German flags, skirts, weirdest hats that you could ever see..their hair the colour of german flag were all around. I am sure you guys know, they put TVs in the toilets in the bars at some places so that people dont miss a second of the match! Bloody crazy.
Somehow, I was all for Argentina. At home, friends and housemates were there to support Germany. In good spirits, I also got my arms tatooed with German flag.
And when Germany won (5:3), my goodness! you'd think they won the world cup already!! It was mass celebration everywhere. People shouting, "We are going to Berlin!" ( as in German team; the final is in Berlin) all around me. But I must say, it was a great match to watch.
And when you are in a place like this, the spirit automatically comes to you and you join the celebration. I wish though that Argentina had won. ![]()
Then was the other match between Italy and Ukraine where Italy won 3:0 where people didnt show so much spirit but still watched it. (Obviously, as Germany wasnt playning in this one)
For me, I went out with friends after the match and took a walk on the way back along the river. After all the noise, I wanted some peace.
And now, am back home, writing. Time to go to sleep in some time, listeing to jazz. But first, I shall browse through some blogs. Need to see if LJ posted any new story there to read. ![]()
Oh and tomorrow, I will go to the Universum Science Center. It has no guided tour, but as they say, "skilled scouts" answer all your queries, taking you to the journey on topics like Mankind, Earth and Cosmos. Should be interesting.
Will tell you all about it tomorrow evening if I dont go dancing. ![]()

LOL, I love supporting the wrong country when you're in a country
It's hard not to get influenced by what everyone around you is doing though!
