Jakarta Time
No matter where I would be this weekend the most important thing happening is clearly the start of the World Cup. June 12, 2010 is four years… I believe to the day.. that Helena and I arrived (barely!) in Dusseldorf only to watch the American boys get EMBARASSED by the Czech Republic. I have realistic but higher hopes for this year’s start of tournament. In exchange for the dudes in our house letting us watch the late game on their tv’s we have promised to make dinner and provide snacks. Vieiwing on a tiny screen in a hot crowded room wasn’t exactly how I envisioned watching this game but I am still looking forward to it. Ideally Helena, Anyah and I would be gearing up for the game in Rustenburg.. still so sad not to be there in person!
Thankfully soccer is one of the country’s biggest sports (along with badminton, ha) and everyone is stoked about the start of the World Cup.. soccer really does unite the world. Pictures of my viewing parties to follow! Oh and if anyone caught the opening ceremonies yesterday, please explain to me why the hell R. Kelly performed. Seriously FIFA, we couldn’t have gotten better talent for this??
