oranje

so the opening ceremony in for the world cup in south africa is this friday. i've never been a big fan of football (or soccer), most of the time i'd fallen asleep by half time. but i'm pretty excited this year, just because i'd be cheering for my favourite team in their own country! i was expecting Delft to be more hyped up for the event, but except for the occasional orange banners on some houses and orange coloured confectionery in supermarkets, i'd say the atmosphere is pretty mediocre right now. 'hup holland hup' is their cheer meaning 'go holland go!', and the hup is derived from 'hip hip hooray'. catchy isint it?
