Germany : More World Cup Fever!

Department store window, everyone watching S. Korea vs. Greece and S.Korea wins 2-0.

Even a little support from ketchup.

"Spielmacher" means Playmaker and is often the jersey number 10.

If you notice the numbers on the license plate "1954", that was the first year Germany won at the World Cup! Either this man is a hardcore soccer fan, or it was just a lucky coincidence!

You'll notice the N.Korea jersey is the only one missing.

So, I'm still not sure, was this intentional?!

The Hofbrauhaus, a famous brewery in Munich, had a cute goal display in their store, and a poster on their doors welcoming people to drink beer and cheer as the World Cup starts on June 11.

Hugo Boss caps, and a cell-phone store with a very decorated iPhone!

As if completely oblivious to the loud music and enormous crowd behind them,

the men watch a soccer match on a small tv! That was a funny sight.

With the entire city filled with Germany team support, it almost made me root for them! It felt nice to see all the support that just one city was giving to their country, and I'm glad I got to see just how much love Europe gives to the World Cup.

*Germany won over Ghana today, so I'm sure the entire country is happy that they won the group!

Germany : World Cup Fever!

I always knew that World Cup was huge in Europe, but I didn't know the extent of it! Just being in Munich I was overwhelmed to see the support given to their Germany team. I suppose I shouldn't be too surprised since they did host the 2006 World Cup and they came in 3rd place. Just look at all these displays showing their support for Germany!

Newspapers from June12th (day after the Opening Ceremony). Front pages were all of soccer!

Souvenir kiosk at the main square and a mannequin in a clothing store.

Ratskeller, an underground tavern, decorate their front door with mini soccer balls, and South Africa flags!

Displays from 2 different stores.

Many people were buying enormous Germany flags for just 5 Euros.

Germany plays Ghana on the 23rd...the beer gardens must be packed!

Thank You, Czech Republic, Hungary, and Germany!

(caught this glimpse for just a minute! I thought it was pretty cool!)

Our first stop was Prague, Czech Republic then we headed to Budapest, Hungary and our trip ended in Munich, Germany. Spending about 4-5 full days in each city gave us a good amount of time to see significant spots and take in the different cultures. It was an amazing trip and I cannot wait to share my experience with you all! Stay tuned and see ya soon!

I know I still have to continue blogging about my previous trip to Switzerland, Italy and Austria, but I will work on this trip first and then continue with the previous trip! I don't wanna delay posts for 2 trips!
