using buddhism and noodles to advertise the football...
some t-shirt that was in the temple museum, stating their preference...
some monks playing a rematch between SA and Mexico
All eyes glued to the screen....
It is nice to see signs at some of the shops, advertising the football World Cup in South Africa – it kind of brings home just a little bit closer. On the sides of trucks delivering the worlds favourite Cola drink, as well as on posters trying to sell noodles... I think the best was watching some monks at Namo Buddha playing a rematch between Mexico and South Africa, with only 2 a side as the courtyard was quite small. Kenna (from Mexico) and myself (being South African), were the strong supporters on the sidelines – unfortunately in this case it was not a draw, but an outright loss to South Africa...mmm another rematch? And then later in the evening watching the games on TV as it was their day off. The rest of the days they are busy studying and doing puja(prayers) so don’t get to watch. The best part of watching the football with the monks, was watching the monks watch the football! The things they find the most hilarious are peoples facial expressions – especially when they are shown in slow motion. Kenna and I were probably the loudest people in the room as we cheered on Nigeria.
Right, now i am off to watch the game... SA vs France!!!!!
