Come on England!

Come on England!, originally uploaded by sazztastical.

I've just realised I've not posted anything yet about the England games! Duh.

Well as you can see from the photo - taken at half time - there is plenty of support for England. The Chinese have got loads of kids that come along to fill the seats up, all dressed up the same - in some kind of white uniform - and if it rains they all pull on the same colour raincoat/pacamac sort of thing but the weird thing is they are in blocks of colours. So everyone sitting in one block of seating will have orange, the next block will be in blue, then yellow and so on. It's all so uniform it's very odd.

But anyway the games so far have been brilliant - lots of fun both watching and after the game. Actually the first game I wasn't feeling too brilliant so we didn't hang around afterwards but the second game, against Germany we had a great time. Absolutely no idea what time we go back to the hotel but I do know that we drank plenty and met lots of new people - no idea now what any of their names are but I'll pretend that I remember :)

So the next match is in Chengdu but we won't be there - we're hoping we'll find a bar with it on in Xi'An before we catch the overnight train to Pingyao.
