Living in Brasil, I've found that Cup fever has struck. I live in a country that truly everywhere is gearing up for the World Cup. It's a big deal here because, well, it's Brasil and soccer is a part of life the way, well, I guess my closest comparison is to American football. But it's not even a fair comparision.
Here families and friends all go to the same restaurant on Sunday afternoons to watch the Brasilian teams play. They all wear jerseys and shout and yell. When a team scores, I know in my apartment because everyone's yelling and setting off fireworks. I can't even imagine what it will be like when the entire country's rooting for one team. The fireworks will definitely be heard then.
I'll be making a post each day dedicated to this exciting world event. Cuz I've been struck with Cup Fever too!
Many of the neighborhoods have decorated the commercial streets with handmade streamers. The streamers, you can tell, were cut by hand and then tied to these strings. More about Brasil's team this year soon. Their first game is June 15th.
Vai Brasil!
