It's the Dutch thing!

I came home early today, expecting the traffic to be clear on the road while everyone, literally EVERYONE will be in the pubs watching Netherlands-Brazil match. Of course, as we all agree, Brazil is the favourite and how on earth Netherlands claimed the victory was just amazing.

So, on my way back from the grocery shop nearby, I was put to deft by the 30 minutes continuous blazing celebration with honkings, screamings, vuvuzela-ing, bicycling-bling-bling and all other types of noise generating mechanisms you can think of. People were so happy in the streets, and shopkeepers were doing happy dance, or babbling to me in Dutch. Since I was dressed in Blue and not the national Orange, I supposed she asked if I was not a foodball fan. Of course, I picked an easy answer "Ja!"

Here's a sample of the loyal Orange fans. I'll hunt down the video from Dutch's victory against Brazil a few days later. That should be epic since it came unexpected!! Till then, people.
