Fußball

I went to my first futball game on Thursday night.What an amazing experience!
It was one of those moments in which I wished I were a German and knew the songs and exactly what to say and do at exactly the right moment.
Across the stadium we could see thousands of people jumping, clapping and singing all in unison without any prompt or hint from a speaker or a screen. Its truly amazing to see that many people seemingly randomly burst into song and cheers, yet they always seemed to begin at the same time.
SC Freiburg played 1899 Hanoffen and won 3-1. It was an exciting game, and it was really exciting to participate in something that truly felt European. By the end of the game we were screaming, pretending to know the SC Freiburg chants (the old mumble the tune without actually saying words...and Im not even sure all of the chants had words), laughing at the locals behind us, who were constantly yelling "EURO," and just having an amazing time.

All in all it was a great night. Unfortunately, my phone went missing at some point during the night. I called it, I called the stadium, the S Bahn station, and my phone is nowhere to be found.
I now have a new, functioning phone with free incoming calls.
If you would like the new number, just ask.

Ciao
