Fussballweltmeisterschaft!!! well, try to read that out loud!
Crazy!
- is the word i would like to choose to describe how i experienced last night after Germany won against Poland in the extra time... i have to say that i´m not a very patriotic person and i´m sure that this is pretty much true for 92,5% of the german race... but yesterday... MAN ALIVE!!! the serious and cold (talking about stereotypes...) german people (yes, i´m one of them) went totally mental! people were on the streets everywhere and i serioulsy asked myself where all the german flags came from. One of my friends from the college decided to take us on a drive in her car through town with a flag in our hands, shouting with all the people who danced on the streets and cars we drove by. It felt good, but so wrong and funny at the same time... 2 months ago i saw a german flag for 3 euros in the Aldi and i thought i could actually just buy it, why not? But then, i put it back again in the self again, thinking this is wrong. then after a while thinking and as well discussing with a friend if you can just buy a german flag, i then bought it, thinking i won´t ever use it, but hey, i got one... and I used it yesterday!
Still i´m asking myself how it must feel to not think about if you can be patriotic or not. At the same time, i don´t know if i want to feel and understand it totaly...
Well, with a head full of thoughts (not only about german flags though), a partly joyfull german girl says
"God bless!" and have a wonderful June-weekend!
