"Game Day" in Germany

Friday was the World Cup opening match in Munich. 25% of the world's population watched the game! Meanwhile -> Germany has finally seemed to re-discover their national pride. Germans are very careful about not displaying too much national pride. So I was totally amazed when I drove in to town. There were people waving flags everywhere, many cars had flags on them (also from other countries). Not many people seemed to be working (although it was a friday). Basically it reminded me of game day back at college - except it was the WHOLE town of Munich (any maybe the rest of Germany, too based on what they were showing on the news). Find out how I got a German Flag on my car here....
