Holland it is.....

I'm in Rotterdam now, trying to get a hold of my family here. Last night we turned Berlin upside down, hit up some hip hop clubs and a few euro-trash clubs. It was a pretty cool experience. This morning was not fun, as I got back to my room at 6:30am
and I had to leave by 8am...not fun at all. Damn these German bars and clubs. They never close, people drink here from monring to night!! It was a sad goodbye with my non-ticket holding friends, I am truly going to miss them.
Nikolas had the most amazing thing happen to him, he spent a year in Mexico city 8 years ago.He had some friends that he had lost contact with since then. He actually walked into them on the street! (The power of the cup) it was very cool to see.
By the end of the night there were just 2 Boris and I,
we have all made tentative plans to watch a match together somewhere in the next few years, and the next world cup. Boris is moving to Viena and Nikolas is moving to Barcelona, I am going back to Winnipeg.

I'm not meeting as many Canadians as I thought I would, but still a fair amount of them, my last encounter was in Duisberg (I spent the day there), I met Jeff from T.O.
once a baseball and hockey lover now devoted football fan, that's what I like to see.
It's footballl fever, there is no cure! Anyway I should try to find my family or a place to sleep tonight, or maybe head right to Amsterdam...only time will tell.
