It has been so incredibly busy the last few weeks and even though I have a job in the morning and a local coffee shop called Homeground Coffee Roasters and also that the National Arts Festival is going I hope to slow down a little.I went to a total of 3 World Cup games. The first one I went to watch was South Korea vs. Greece, the second was Germany vs. Serbia, and the last one was England vs. Slovenia. Although the hype and excitement was huge at each game it was also interesting to see how each team celebrated in there own way.
The 1st game was a lot of vuvuzelas, which if you don't know is a South African plastic horn that is
played at soccer games here and makes a huge amount of noise, and Koreans were dancing everywhere. The 2nd game was much more calmer. The Germans preferred to shout and make waves around the stadium. The last game was kinda a combination of the first two. A lot of vuvuzelas, but the British sure do love their anthem, "God save the Queen"!A little about my job. It's a small little shop with a menu of 8 drinks and a few other coffee items. They used to have more drinks, but it was to much; they used to have a larger sized drinks but it was also too much; they also used to have tables where they could sit down and enjoy their coffee, but it was a hassle. Basically this coffee shop likes to keep things simple and straight-forward :) I've really enjoyed working there though. The 2 owners and the regular customers are so much fun to interact with! I've also been able to meet a lot of the actors and directors that are involved with the Arts Festival.
Funny Story: The National Arts Festival also has a huge hippie fest, which is great! We even walked by a stall today that was selling marijuana bongs today. Anyways, we were leaving the tents for the day and this girl asks us if we have a lighter? Well Sarah randomly had a lighter and gives it to the girl. We look at her while she was lighting it and it was weed! Lol...we were all so shocked we didn't know what to say!
