I read here on one of the newspapers that there were 13.33 million women who watched the soccer game between Germany and Portugal. This fact is even more interesting when you read the number of male watchers of the same game: 12.81 million. More woman in Germany have watched this game. Isn't that amazing?
When we went to watch a game (usually in pubs or beer gardens) we could see just as many women wearing all kinds of soccer gadgets as men. Women were wearing the German flag on them selves, painted their faces with the flag's colors, and went everywhere to watch the games- just like men did.
Do I sound old and chauvinistic saying that? coz only when I read those numbers I realized how important it became for women. I'm sure it has something to do with the fact that the whole country is in it- and there's this hype around the "Us" in Germany (and in every country I guess). Women want to be a part of the society, and nowadays - this is a way to become one.
About a week ago I rode my bicycle for the first time wearing a skirt. I guess that the male readers just asked themselves: so what??? well, I'll tell you what- it's weird!!! But it felt very free, I must say...
2.5 weeks to go till the end of my stupid German exam (but who's counting?), and I still haven't gotten an answer from the uni in Munich... I'm starting to get nervous. I was never nervous about anything like that in my life (as much as I remember). When???
Nice to write again. Even if it's not much.

It is interesting how in Germany it is no longer a 'curiousity' for a woman to cheer for the football team. I think it probably says something, but I'm not sure what.
As to riding a bicycle with a shirt, my wife says a short pair of tights does the trick :-)
Don't forget there are also handsome football players... ;)
I hope you get a reply from the uni soon. Try not to stress out and think about it much. I'm sure it will turn out fine :)
And, good to read you again :)
(Btw, Im glad you enjoyed the brownies.)
