Well friends, it's good to be in Berlin during the World Cup. The streets are all alive with fans. We watched the game at the Hauptbahnhof, or main train station, where there were many outdoor screens set up around the area meant specifically for public viewing of the game. The noise after the first and second goals resounded around the city... I could literally hear cheering and honking and screaming from all sides around me, across the wide landscape. Just imagine all the sound as the game ended and the fans streamed into the station to return home (or, more likely, go out to party some more).
It's the latest fashion to wear a German flag, didn't you know?
Giant outdoor screen at half time. Fans eagerly await the resuming of Germany's hopeful win, with the score at 2:0.
Giant screen at third or fourth goal, with flags and arms in the air and random (illegal) fireworks popping to our left.
Hauptbahnhof was astir with noise and an enormous, billowing flag that I really wanted to have.
This is the S-Bahn station. It's on a normal day possible to get on the first train that arrives. Today, this was impossible.
I may have some difficulty sleeping tonight as people are still driving by my window happily honking their horns and trailing German flags out their windows. :)
