THE NEWS

So a couple of days ago, Eva, Leon, and I got up early in the morning to get ready for a daytrip. We were all ready to leave, with Romana waiting downstairs, except Leon wasnt quite ready yet. He told us he had to watch "Die Nachrichten" (the News). You know what that means for him?...Soccar. So now whenever Leon says he want to watch the world cup games, we say to him "you mean the news". He doesnt take the joke very well. SO, we watched all of the latest matches untill Leon left on his 3 day school trip. I have been deprived of the news...what am i going to do! I dont even know the outcomes of who won. Spain, Portugal, GErmany, etc..I just dont know. This evening Leon will be homme again, and guess what!!! I´ll get to watch Soccar Again, yeeHaw!!!

The other day we went to a muesum about the 60´s, and afterwords we went into a little resteraunt and ate some schnitzel. The NEWS came on and it was about a conflict between Germany and England (AKA the World Cup). Our table was situated right next to the TV, as a result, Leon had no trouble watching the match. Right when it started, a Man came over, pulled up a chair, and sat right next to us to inable himself to see the game. A few minutes later, two more people came over and sat next to us. Our table had been taked over by soccar fans. So we all watch this very exiting game! GErmany scored, then England, then Germany again, then England again, so on and so forth. All of the bistanders were very absorbed in the game, unlike myself, who was not really 100 percent intersted. No I must admit, usually sports games are borring had hell, but this one had one moment of spiked interst; This was when England scored shot the ball, and it hit to top of the goal, then went down into the gaol, and then back up, and back down, and they ultimatly got cheated out of a goal, because it didnt count. That was about the extent of my fasination with that days match. Turns out Germany won, and will advance to the next round.
We went on a walk with Oma in the park the other day, and saw a bunch of young bys playing soccar, so Eva went up to them and asked who was playing again who. They replied, Turkey against Serbia. I found that funny, because all the kids on the turkish team, were turkish, and all the others were Serbians (with some croations, and other nationalities mixed in since their werent enough serbs alone). So now you all know what my life in

  1. Well, I think there are only a few more days of World Cup left. Do they call it soccer or football in Vienna? I'm not very engaged in "the news"(aka Die Nachrichten) either. Since Allen moved out, Mom and I don't watch sports any more.

    What else have you been doing and where did you go on your day trip? It's been very hot in Nutley and we've been having trouble sleeping (either the AC is too loud or the windows only provide soupy hot air). Last night, it finally cooled down and today is very pleasant. I hope Mom can take me for a nice walk after she gets back from work.

    Do you have good access to internet in Wien? We are missing your posts and watching for photos. Love you, Libra
