Germany have made it through to the Euro 2008 finals, and will be playing Spain in a couple of days. Dushyant Wadivkar is lucky enough to actually be in Germany in the middle of all this excitement, and believes that watching the national team in the company of Germans is an experience not to be missed.

If the German team wins, then you might as well forget hoping for a quiet night. Cars are loaded up with one set of fans and the street squares are stocked with the remaining lot. The cars honk and the stationary fans sing songs of glory. Flags are everywhere and strangers come together celebrating a glorious occurrence. The normally stiff German Polizei stand harmless aside. Sometimes even stealing a smile when no one is watching!

I’m jealous.
