In case you don't know, South Africa is a rugby crazy country! Last night, my roommates and I went to watch the Stormers (Cape Town's team which competes internationally) against a New Zealand team. As we approached the stadium, fans were all over and really excited to be at the game--the intensity was actually a little scary at times. However, we decided to join the fun and buy jerseys, so at least we could look the part even if we knew very little about the game.
As we sat down in our seats, we realized something very interesting...there is no beer sold in the stands, only doughnuts! There was never an adequate explanation of this, but we missed much of the first half searching for and enjoying the bar in the stadium (you couldn't leave the bar with beer).
Sadly, the Stormers lost 22-0.
Emily [friend, roommate] says that its the most fun she's had in Cape Town, so far. Since we already own the jerseys, I think we'll be going back for more!
