I've been having an odd, and surprisingly strongly negative reaction, to the font that is being used for all the official FIFA signs. Let's back up. I have an opinion on a font. WTF is wrong with me? !!? Surely there are other things that I can form opinions on. But, there it is - FIFA: Bad choice on the font. Too childish.
Transport to the games is well organized - I've tried 4 methods now. Walking, new bus system called Rea Vaya, park and ride (actually park, walk, ride, walk, walk, walk...) and hired minibus for a group. For my last match, I think I'll have to try the train. It's quite amazing, because Joburgers with means never take any form of public transport. And now, they are having epiphanies and revelations on a daily basis - white people on the train is massive!
Yesterday at the Argentina-Mexico match, I saw the FIFA police in action. There was a highly innocent, well decorated banner hanging on the rail in front of me, from a guy who had followed Argentina to 3 recent World Cups. On his banner, he had painted the logos for 2002-Japan, 2006-Germany and 2010-South Africa. Apparently, this was not cool. Not regulation. Not officially sanctioned. No more banner for Mr. Argentina. This, out of the hundreds of banners hanging around the rails. Those are some hawk eyed FIFA police.
I'm considering filling my suitcase with vuvuzelas. Do you think there is an ebay market for that?

I think the vuvuzela market has been cornered by the iPhone app for that :)
