While I'm typing this blog I can hardly contain my excitement. The past week has reached a climax in terms of soccer fever! We knew this was going to be big, but I think the HUGEness of it all has finally hit home! (excuse the pun)

I don't think 5 minutes pass without hearing a vuvzela being blown, everyone is secretly doing the disci dance while they walk, and the effect of hooting in the street is awesome - one hoot and you have 100% guarentee of vuvzela's being blow, waves and a hand full of new friends!

And best of all it hasn't even officially started yet! I can't wait for tomorrow's opening ceremony. Planning on watching the opening in a shebeen in Soweto. Will keep you updated with photo's and stories!

It's here. Can you feel it!?
It's time for Africa.
