Skipped class on Wednesday and went to catch the first live soccer match of my life! UEFA Champions League Benfica v Olympiakos. Soccer is practically the life of the Portuguese. The people here are divided and affected by the team that they support. In Lisbon the two main teams are Benfica and Sporting Lisbon. The beer choices of the people here are largely affected by which beer company was sponsoring their favourite team. It's really funny. Cristiano Ronaldo was bought over from Sporting Lisbon. Hehs. I felt like my exchange in Lisbon is complete now after catching the match:) Hope to catch 2 more matches, involving Sporting, before flying back to Singapore.
