Thats all thats on the television. Its everywhere, the Fifa World Cup 2006 in Germany has arrived, and it is fever time.

People have been asking me why NZ doesn´t have a team. I reminded them of the friendly we just played against Brasil 4-0 we lost. They agree. They understand that we´re a rugby nation anyway. And then they ask, but then again so is England and Australia and look, they´re in the world cup. I shrug and say, look, Holland is in, thats who i´m backing, and they go quiet and nodd. Actually, i´m backing spain and holland, tho everyone here will eventually back brasil coz they´re gonna win (most likely).

Thats the good thing about spain, they´re good in sports that seem big in europe. E.g Roland Garos French Open at the moment (on tv all the time too) - Nadal and Ferrero. Formula 1 racing, Fernando Alonso in Renault, and of course the Spanish Selection in the world cup. I´m pretty content with the sport coverage here!!!!!

Germany is going crazy at the moment, in fact i´m watching the opening ceremony while i´m typing this. very very cool!!!

I have a job for july and august - looking after kids in a swimming pool and organising games etc for them. 3 hours a day, i get a tan, i get to swim and play around, and i´m getting between 15-25NZ dollars an hour. Now THATS what i call a summer job.

went on a boat ride yesterday from bilbao up the river to getxo, very cool, but very industrial and HOT. we´re getting into the 30´s now.
