... and I'm in AFRICA! How ridiculously awesome is that?! The ship is getting geared up to watch, and there's an area in the dining room that's specifically designated for World Cup viewing where a couple of us watched the kick-off ceremony tonight. Shakira was up on stage, doing her thing, and when she yelled "This is Africa!!", all of us in the dining room went "AFRICA!!" The only possible thing that could make this better is if Togo had qualified for the World Cup. Still, it's definitely going to be a month to remember, watching football with not only all the Africans on board, but with all the other people from other countries-- you name the team, we probably have at least one representative of that country on the ship. Except North Korea; no North Koreans on Mercy Ships. On a side note, I always find it kind of funny when asked which Korea I'm from. Just to clarify, I'm from South. Why? Because if I were from North Korea, well, I'd still be in North Korea. Or I'd be dead.
Well now, hasn't this blog entry suddenly took a rather depressing turn? As Forest Gump would say...
EDIT>> June 24th
Soccer-- excuse me, football-- has become so universal that even in the middle of nowheresville, Africa, you can somehow watch the game.
