Football

Yesterday we watched Brasil vs. Turkey (and missed the first half of our class because of it but it was quite worth it). It was a fun match to watch. Our neighbourhood consits almost completely of German Turks who are all very fond of football. When Turkey shot the 1-0 the whole neighbourhood erupted in cheers and somebody even had firecrackers (which woke up our roommate who came out of his room asking:"Has Turkey shot a goal or what is all this fuss about?"). Brasil quickly shot the 1-1 and then managed to win 2-1 shortly before the end. My bet was 1-1 and it was SO close. Man, I would have won a lot had it stayed 1-1. Darn.

I bought a new bikini yesterday at Nike Town. I love to browse through that store because everything there is so ....designed (for lack of a better word). I usually don't buy anything though. But I needed a new bikini as my old one (which I bought just last year) is falling to pieces (it was a pretty expensive one from a renowned manufacturer and I didn't use it that much, nor did I use it in salt water. So there's really no reason for it to fall apart. Well I guess I just won't buy that company's stuff anymore...). I hope the Nike one will last longer.

When we got home yesterday the road was blocked completely because a car coming out of a parking space had hit a passing bus right in front of our door. Our street is so narrow that nobody could pass. I bet the people riding the bus cursed the car driver for making them walk to the next tram station (15 minutes walking distance)...
