vuvuzelas everywhere. My friends are going to the game and I'm heading for Ferrymans in the Waterfront ^
Cold? Rain? This is how a Swedish summer can look like, I'm used to this

Finally, I have arrived to a very sweet guesthouse in Sea Point. It took 1.5h from the airport as the traffic was awful

How did you get to Ferryman's? Given the state of traffic I wouldn't even try from here even though it's less than a mile away. At least you would have been warm and dry - and I'm sure even Swedes prefer that.
I have to go to Jo'burg on Thursday and it's a match day. The fact that the match is in Soccer City is no consolation: I am told that Sandton suffers gridlock from the fans flocking to the fan park.
Will be trying the Gautrain for the first time and possibly even a bus in Sandton! Could be interesting - I haven't used a bus in SA in decades.

I'm in Amsterdam and the town was fully done up in Orange yesterday. Thank God they won! Happiness all over town and beer sales through the roof.
Looking forward to Portugal - Ivory Coast today. Will Drogba play?

I got a funny feeling about North Korea, Brazil will not find it as easy as people think.
Do not underestimate the power of the dear leader who has given the team some vital tactical advice.

Is that "tactical" as in " tactical nuclear " devices?
One of my colleagues picked North Korea in the office sweepstake ( I picked Slovakia)
