I live in the northern suburbs of Cape Town. It's about half an hours drive to the Cape Town stadium.

Yesterday and today at 12 there was also a great spirit of vuvuzelas and people coming out on the streets in Cape Town and suburbs and a great festive spirit like in Durban. The flags I bought yesterday is about 15 cm long. They cost R10 each. How big are those flags that cost R50, Sugahorse? That's expensive!

I'm so dissapointed to have read in the paper that 3 reporters from Spain and Portugal were held at gunpoint in their hotel room and robbed of their expensive photographic equiptment, computers, passports, cell phones, clothes and R30 000 in cash. Damn, the crime in South Africa is just terrible. I just hope this World Cup will not be just remembered for the crime!

But I still have World Cup fever and tonight there's a 3 hour concert as an intro to the games. The opening ceremony is tomorrow at 2 o'clock and the opening game at 4 o'clock. We can't wait!
