Talk about town

♫Everybody wanna be the talk about town...♫I was there. In that stadium. In the pouring rain and chilly cold snap that took over Cape Town yesterday, I was sitting in beautiful category 1 seats, 5 rows from the middle of the pitch and at 1pm, I still never had tickets nor thought I would be going.


Thanks to work giving AMA-zing seats to 5 of us, which there was a little task to do aka biggest fan vibe... I scored - out of the luck of  a hat - a ticket to the Italy vs. Paraguay game. I'm easy with bullet points so I'll put everything down in a nice little list

• the atmosphere is AMA-zing
• the traffic not so much
• the fan walk is AMA-zing
• the rain not so much
• the seats and view of the game was AMA-zing
• the food and pricing not so much
• the fans were loud, blowing their vuvuzelas, speaking in different languages, accents and it was an AMA-zing cultural experience from a South African Italian telling a Paraguayan fan to eff off politely to Italian fans/tourists blowing their vuvuzelas in Long street
• the grid-locked traffic was a nightmare but not only because of the World Cup. 
• the police presense was pretty awesome and the volunteers were super helpful.
• the whole organisation was on par with other international sporting events I've attended.
• did I mention the atmosphere?
• did I mention I got to watch ITALY play and see Fabio 'I'm HAWT' Cannavaro 20m away from me
• did I mention I watched a World Cup football match in my backyard; Cape Town

Yes please!

Waka Waka eh eh.
