Soccer/Football games are a lot different to watch than AFL games. The umpires seem to get abused a lot less, likewise the players. A lot of the sledging is just directed at the opposition fans. The major difference is the inclusion of songs/chants that add another level of amusement to the game.
During the day, yesterday, we went to the Imperial War Museum, which was an interesting and informative experience. There was so, so much, to see, and we must have spent a good four or so hours there. They had a Holocaust Exhibition which was pretty depressing. There was a room that contained heaps of belongings to people that had been killed at Auschwitz. Shoes, combs, cups, toothbrushes, even a doll. As you leave the museum it really puts life into perspective, and how good we have it.
Oh, another thing about Europe. When they have restorations underway at museums/buildings, they will often put a canvas over the front, to make the building look as it normally would, as you can see in one of the pictures below.
We've put our room up on offer, and within an hour of doing so, we've got two interested parties that are coming to check it out tomorrow. So, if all goes well, we will be out of the flat on the 28th. We're not 100% sure on what we're doing after that, because we don't want to book anything before we're sure someone will move into the room. Flights to Barcelona were something like £50 with Ryanair, so we'll probably go with that.
Bye for now,
Mark.
