Primero, fotos de hace un mes y medio, del martes 30 de octubre, cuando fuimos con Marissa a ver un partido del Nottingham Forest. Como experiencia estuvo interesante, pero la verdad que el partido en sí fue malísimo! Ya sé que son de la tercera división (a la que acá llaman League One, como para que no se note que es tercera), pero en Uruguay por lo menos meten huevo (aunque no sea para que no los linchen a la salida). Acá fue un verdadero embole, cero fuerza. Obviamente, terminó 0-0.
I've been very busy this part month... I've got photos to upload, but between my studies and the end of term parties, I've been neglecting this blog. Let's see if I can get up to date.
First of all, photos from about a month and a half ago, Tuesday October 30th, when Marissa and I went to a Nottingham Forest game. It was an interesting experience, but the game itself was really shitty. I know they're playing in the third division (which they call "League One" here, I suppose to try to hide the fact that it's the third division), but at least in Uruguay small team players really put some heart into it (even if it's only to keep the fans from lynching them after the game, lol!). Here it was a total bore, no motivation at all. Obviously, the game ended 0-0.

Y algunas imágenes del partido
And some scenes from the game.
Finalmente, un videíto. Como ven, al menos la gente sí le ponía un poco de emoción.
And a short video. As you see, at least the people did put a bit of emotion into it.
Luego del partido nos fuimos al Old Trip to Jerusalem, porque era el cumpleaños de Citlali.
After the game, we went over to the Old Trip to Jerusalem, because it was Citlali's birthday.
Sentados en nuestra mesa. Ven ese cuerno en la pared que tiene un aro atado a una cuerda? Bueno, estábamos muy tranquilos tomándonos nuestras cervezas cuando nos pidieron si no nos movíamos un poco, que había llegado el campeón. La jodita es pararte del otro lado del salón y soltar el aro, y que quede colgado del cuerno. MUCHO más difícil de lo que parece (yo he tratado y tratado y todavía no he podido). El tipo este que van a ver lo lograba todas las veces, y algunas con tres vueltas!
Sitting at our table. Do you see that horn on the wall, with a ring hanging from it, tied to a string? Well, we were sitting there minding our own business, when someone asked us if we could move for a sec, because the champion had arrived. The idea is to stand on the opposite side of the room and let go of the ring, making it swing straight onto the horn. A LOT harder than it seems (I've tried and tried and I haven't succeeded yet). The guy you'll see in the pictures got it every time, sometimes with flourishes!
