Throughout the country villages are decorated with alleys of German banners.

• Is this another ‘Cristiano/TdA Special’ for one of his/their alumnae?
• Was the town expecting my passage and giving me a warm welcome?
• Is this still post-Soccer World Cup decoration? The Indonesians seem to be very aware of the German victory in this year’s WC final. I am often asked, from where I am, and immediately given half a dozen German soccer player names, when I tell them I am German.

Which ever is the case, I enjoy the ‘special’ treat.

Terima Kasih (thank you).
