When I lived back in Europe I was always very excited on those nights, and I nearly could not wait to the evening when I could watch those games with my friends. And to be honest, I saw nearly all matches that was broadcasted in TV.
Living here in Hong Kong I've seen none -because when they are on it is in the middle of the night- except last years final between Man. Utd and -Hmmm, Chelsea. But that was only because I wasn't working at that time, and they showed in our local pub because the owner is a Man U supporter, but normally he closes down at 2 PM. But to be honest again; I really miss those evenings. So thank god for the Internet, then at least I can see the results in the morning when I get up, and the games has just finished. Well I could talk a lot about this subject, but I wont. I will only say that I'm quite pleased that this years final isn't going to be between the same two teams as last year, and this year I will support FC. Barcelona.
Last but not least; yesterday was the first performance night in the "new Sai Kung bamboo opera", and we went for a little quick look. And again I must say that I'm really impressed how they in one week can build a thing like that, mainly out of bamboo and rope.
The performances is for western people quite strange, and I guess I have to do a lot of research to try to understand what it is about. But it is colourful and I guess quite funny, because every five minutes the audience -could be a thousand- breaks out in laughter, and big discussions starts to run through the row's. It is very calm and not pretentious at all. People come and go as they are pleased and a good thing; it is for free, so you see families with children and gran ma and gran dad on a nice night out.
