South Africa: Soccer, puddles and security
Tuesday, May 25th, 2010South Africa: I think of orange-tinted sunlight spreading across vast grasslands, animals lounging around in the heat, brightly-coloured cities, people whose passion for football is second to nothing.

South Africa: I land at Johannesburg airport and what I see is: rain, nothing but cloudy skies. I wonder if the aircraft didn’t circle above Europe for 10 hours and then drop us off accidentally in Cologne again. But suddenly I catch a glimpse of some footballs and Vuvuzelas in the arrival area. Indeed, this must be South Africa.
