World Cup

There is nothing like watching the world cup, which is being held in Africa, while you are in Africa, surrounded by Africans.
The students have set up a TV in the student’s center and spend all their free time watching the games. The crowds vary from 30-100 people. Anyone on campus knows that a goal has just been made when the eruption of shouts breaks loose.
The best game to watch was the USA vs Ghana game. It was me, a noisy Kenyan, and 2 Ugandans cheering on the USA. The rest of the 100+ people in the room were cheering on the last African team in the World Cup. It was very fun to just be one of the students for a moment. I was cheering just as much as anyone else. I liked that.
At the half I went to my room and brought down a streamer that Jeannie sent to me in a care package. Rainson, the noisy Kenyan, proudly put it around his neck and kept right on cheering.
In the photo the other man is also a Kenyan. His cheering symbol was a green leaf.
