Worldcup Finals
The Sunday of the worldcup finale, I had a great day! Although we lost, it was amazing! In the 18 months that I lived here I have known few dutch people, but I really wanted to see the soccergame with other dutch people. So a taxidriver told me that I could call to the dutch ambassy because often they have official places to gather with other people. So they told me that there is a cafe close to my house, where they would see the game. So when Daniela and I checked the place out, they told me that everytime during a game, the whole cafe was filled with dutch people and dutch supporters, and that for the final game the ambassador would come too. I was soo glad to hear that I wasn’t the only dutch one in Mexico. So we agreed that we would see the game that sunday in this place, with Daniela’s family. So, the geek that I am, with all my best intentions, burned even a disc with dutch partymusic for if we would win, i could give this disc to the cafe owner, so he could put it on. But when we arrived at the place, they closed down the whole street, and there was a huge orange tent covering the street in front of the cafe, and there was a dutch DJ playing dutch partymusic, and there were like over hundreds of dutch people celebrating. There was even Heineken! It was amazing. So on big TV screens they showed the game. Even Paul the Octopus was present, but after a few times being tossed around, he wasn’t that predicting anymore…
