So, Germany is in the Final. I went to the Peace Square to watch the game at the town center on a big screen tv. A lot of police presence, but in general most people were fairly tame. There were probably a few thousand people in the square and I think the Germans were outnumbered by Turks (or at least the Turks made more noise.) It was fun to watch despite not understanding the commentary and the tv signal being lost multiple times (which had more to do with the source as I understand from people watching the game in Montreal.)
When Germany scored the last minute goal, some rowdy fan decided to fling his cup of beer and got me nicely. Anyway, I got a souvenir worldcup 2006 cup when I got some beer (at 4 euros!, funny how I've gotten used to the 2euro beer) and some random German hat. I guess now is really the time to pick up a German jersey...
Not much else happened since Sunday, I explored the north end of the city and found a great park with paths to run on. Saw some rabbits and goats there too :) Time to go :)

Wow!
I was watching TV. Commentators said "It is in Switzerland. Why they have power outages, incredible."
Here it turned in black in first period. Then second period and after the final goal.
It must be very exciting night at there.
