The mahem has arrived. Bringing with it a huge and expected increase in tourists. Vuvuzelas fill the streets. They're most annoying during brunch, interrupting our attempts to recover from the previous night. I've watched many games in fan-zones (areas around Cape Town with ginormous screens to watch the games on), which can be more fun than going to the stadium. The USA-England game in the fan zone downtown was insane. I also got to go to the France-Uruguay game in the stadium. Even though it was 0-0 game, it was exciting to watch such great teams. I never thought I'd be the kind of person to get emotionally involved in a sport, but I'm hooked.
It also nice to have friends who have parents who know people who know people. Or something like that. We were able to score some "hospitality" seats to the Italy-Paraguay game. They came with cushiony-chairs for our cold bums, a blanket, a catered buffet, and an open bar.
