Will Ghana win the worldcup!

He dribbles to the left, swerves to right and smashes clear of the goalie into the net. This has been our life for the last 10 days, the mood in Munich is fantastic!! I have not been able to watch all the games but those that I have watched have been absolutely thrilling. Deutschland was my favourite to win but I am also supporting England and now after last night game my latest favourite is Ghana!! They absolutely blasted the Czechs, ranked number 2, and after the draw between America and Italy their chances of getting into the round of 16 look awesome. The Brazillians don't seem as mighty as they are made out to be, Spainards are playing well, the Argentinians seem to be peaking at the right time and the Swedes have been unlucky.

Been drinking too much beer and burping potatoes all week long. Reeba was here for a week along with my folks who will leave next week. Great fun and very nice to have a family reunion again. Munich is absolutely beautiful these last couple of days. We have had absolutely rotten weather for the longest time and like magic- from the first day of the worldcup the weather has been picture perfect. The football madness is all over, the bars are full, the streests are dirty, the vendors suddenly speak english and the beer continues to flow.

I have been going for German classes the last 2 weeks, learning a new language is tough. German seems to be a little easier than French but its still pretty exhausting. Priya is alerady pretty good with the language. I am not sure I will be willing to learn another new language after this, too much work!!

Will be in Singapore this week attending CommunicAsia 2006, so maybe I will be able to send some live reports!!
