Football fever!

Once again I have too much to say, i don't even know where to start.

Debattierclub, jujutsu, africafest in Würzburg, AGM at Titisee, Sam's visit, the Weltmeisterschaft or World cup now in Germany...I am too lazy even to type it all out. Maybe I should just stop and leave this entry as it is. =)

Nah. The football fever is too good to miss out on. I must admit that even I, the perpetual Cinderella (ie the girl who always runs away from the ball if possible), have even become a convert. How not to be, when the frank enthusiasm among my german friends is so starkly there, decked out all in German colours schwarz-rot-gold, belting out the German national anthem proudly while holding beer mugs in their hands and waving them in beat with the national anthem... The Germans are crazy, but i do love their quirkyness. The atmosphere is almost to be 'tasted' in the tents when Germany is playing. Craning our necks to peek over the shoulders of those in front just to get a good look at the screen in front, showing fully grown-up man risking limb and bone to get at a white speck against a field of green, standing up when the white speck nears the goal, letting out disappointed 'awws' when it doesn't, jumping for joy and waving your arms when it finally does...watching people watch the WM is a spectacle in itself.

Football fever. Now that's really catching! =D
