Day 6: Germany vs. Poland and a US Marching Band

This day started with work. As I am doing the user support for a german webpage I had more than 300 emails in my mailbox to read and reply. So I missed the first two matches of the day (Spain vs. Ukraine 4:0 and Tunisia vs. Saudi Arabia 2:2).

The match of the day was definitely Germany vs. Poland (1:0), Berlin was driving crazy the hours before.
I met my friend Juliane in a outdoor café in Berlin Friedrichshain where Doreen, Anita and Kalle joined us later. The match was pretty exhausting for everybody. A million of chances and one goal for Germany in the last minute...

Afterwards at midnight we found a small courtyard with an american marching band touring through Europe this summer. Around 20 musicians (trumpets, saxophones and percussionists), they really got the heat and everybody had a lot of fun dancing in a warm summernight.

The difference between Europe and North America: Opel Corsa and a Cadillac.

Very inviting: A bar in Berlin Kreuzberg.
