Viva Italia!!

Dad has been complaining he misses the hot World Cup Fever in HK. So we suggested they go feel the Toronto World Cup Fever with the different ethnic neighborhood, which can be very interesting too.

So mom & dad went to Little Italy (around College / Bathurst) yesterday for the Italy:Germany game. I joined them after work shortly after the 2nd half started.

Initially I really don’t care who wins. (well, Sweden’s + all our underdogs are out already!!)…but as the game moved into Extra Time, I really really wanted to see Italy win! Gooooshh...it’s so rare we are there at such occasion --- I really want to see some celebration!!

And oh boy!! Talk about celebration!! Italians are truly passionate about soccer, you could sooooo feel the emotions in the air and you can’t help getting teary eyes with them! My hands were shaking with the camera!!

It was sooooooooo much fun!!! I was standing right beside the Global News and CTV camera men…(tiny me with my tiny camera beside the big & tall men with their huge professional cameras!!) It was definitely the best position for some great fun shots!!

Soooooooooooo much fun!!! I think it was totally worth the trip & traffic! After the cheering and yelling and jumping up & down…we were totally exhausted!! Mom slept till pass 1pm the next day!

Check this out!
