bummer

Wednesday I went to watch the soccer match/ game Turkey : Switzerland on the Bundesplatz ( that’s the square in front of the Bundeshaus, which is the Federal Palace of Switzerland).
There are 3 fan zones (first there were only 2, but they made another one because there are just way to much fans) where people can watch the games on big screens. At the entrance to the fan zone they frisk everyone (so I always have to give them my peper spray cuz it’s a weapon (but I figured out a way to smuggle it in)) :-p , but I get it back afterwards). After the games the fan zones are used for clubbing.
There are also numbers hanging in the air all over Bern. So if some foreigner get’s lost, he can call the police ore I don’t know who, and tell them underneath with number he is. Then They tell him where to go. I could also call the police or ambulance or whatever and tell them “somebody passed out by nr. 37”, and they come to help. That’s smart isn’t it?
Ok, back to the game on Wednesday. It started out pretty good for us. It was raining almost the whole time of the game. We made the first goal. Then the Turks made one. And then, 2 minutes before the end of the game the Turks made another goal. So we lost. We are eliminated now ( but we still have to play against Portugal). That’s pretty embarrassing if you ask me. I mean, we are the host country…But Switzerland is just to small, so we don’t have many available soccer players…Anyways life goes on and now I’m a Netherlands fan haha
Tonight I’ll watch Netherlands: France on the Bundesplatz again. There will be about 100 000 fans in Bern city tonight to watch the game Netherlands: France, so it’ll bi a big party woohoo
