World Cup in Zurich=No sleep!

Around townPeople standing outside a coffee shop/bar watching the game from the street. As cars drive by...
Just outside the grocery store people watch the game too!

The soccer (football) craze here is unbelievable! Horns honking after every game-even until 2am, every little shop has a tv-even the corner kiosks, streets blocked off by police while fans celebrate on the street! It was fun the first 2 days, but now it's over the top-and this was just during stage 1..next we have stage 2 -1/8, 1/4, and semi finals...Then the finals. I have no idea what to expect!

Actually deep down I wish I was a die hard soccer fan! BUT..this is probably the only time in my life when I will be in such soccer loving country and so close to where it's being hosted. So when Switzerland plays I do pretend that I am a swiss!..i wear my swiss t-shirt and can say "Hopp Schweiz, wir gehen nach Berlin"(go switzerland-we are going to (the finals) Berlin) with just the right swiss accent! :)
