Tue 13 Jun
After a German breakfast (meeting Alessa's mother Claudia, brother Jannis and great-aunt Ingrid) we cruised to Strandbad Wannsee to meet Alessa's good friend Yonca for a swim.
We went back home to get ready for our first night of football at the Fan Mile; the area at the Brandenburg Gate where one can watch all the games live on big screens. It caters for about 300,000 I have heard. Before we got there we took a quick look around the city. It is a bit hard to get an idea of how Berlin usually is as it is Football Football Football everywhere. We walked passed the Dome and around Potsdamer Platz, and took in the Holocaust Monument; the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe.
After a currywurst dinner, we parked up at one screen and watched a 0-0 draw between France and Switzerland and a 1-0 victory for Brazil over Croatia. Aaron sparked up a conversation with two Mexican girls who were getting attention from everyone...everyone was taking photos of them and with them - it was a bit weird. We also met some nice guys from Novi Sad, Serbia, who invited us to stay with them while we are on our travels. They were about as typical as you could get...they were great! Boris and Bogdin.
The Mexican girls came with us to see DJ Marky (from Brazil) at the museum and we had a crazy time dancing with loads of other football fanatics.
We have decided to try and learn one specific for each of the countries at the World Cup. We are also going to take photos of hot chicks wearing my 1982 All Whites World Cup Hat. So far we have learned:
Mexico: Ahhhhhhhhhh, Puta. (Done with hands out-stretched, with spirit fingers, to put off the opposition when they take a free-kick or corner)
Serbia: živeli! (Cheers)
