Quote:Or is it that all europe knows to celebrate outside nimhouse?
Well, i live downtown ... and there's a lot of Greeks in this town, so both tonight and when they beat France there was a lot of shouting and hooting going on (still going on now, in fact, they're driving around in circles).
I couldn't explain the noise for Portugal the night after they reached the half finals, really - we dont have many Portuguese around here. But last night after
we lost against Portugal, it was the Moroccans etc who were cheering and hooting about their victory - just their way of rebelling against us, I guess. That wasn't here though - that was down by the Amsterdamsestraatweg, where I ended up because of walking home with A.. Lots more Moroccans over there. Somebody shot off a bunch of fireworks down here tho - dunno if
that was some happy Portuguese, or just some Dutchmen who had been planning to celebrate and now were left with surplus fireworks ;-)
But in general, yeah, I've been really surprised about all the celebrating going on. Few dull nights, no, heh. And thats not counting the blues festival, queen's day, the night before queen's day, the festival on the wharf, the gay midsummercanal festival ... et cetera. All around the corner and around, here. I like it, but sometimes ... <grins>
Oh, and I dont like it if they deal before my ****ing window ... ass hole just now <grumbles>. ****in hell.
But overall, this is a cute, cosy, green little street <nods>. When I first moved to this town and found this street, I already thought, that'd be cool, to live there - it looks idyllic. Now I do, even if its in a cramped one-room apartment and on the "wrong" end of the street, on the ground floor right in front of where the teenagers hang out to smoke pot. Huh.
