Berlin: Zurück nach die Heimat
I am getting ready to go back to my homecountry. In The Netherlands I will work on reorganising my archive, writing for the small book I’m working on and some good old family time. And watch the World Cup of course, although The Netherlands are in the next round already, there is still much to see. I also like to read about sports, especially during major events. Especially the stories by Rob Hughes. In Times he writes about Diego Maradona:
‘It was hard to avoid Maradona’s presence before, during and after plays. He arrived at the stadium 90 minutes before the match and swaggered up to Nigeria’s players, embracing them like brothers, kissing their cheeks, pinching their ears. Clearly he likes players, even opponents.’
Being in a state of war can also mean you have to love your opponent once in a while.
