¡Campeones de Europa!

After 44 years, Spain won the champoinship again!
We were having dinner at a Japanese restaurant, ating Iberian port JP BBQ. The owner is a Japanese couple, some of the waiters are Chinese. Suddenly, the owner´s wife said SPAIN SPAIN!! 1-0, Spain got the game!
The last time Spain got EU champoinship was 44 years ago. The whole conuntry has been waiting for 24 years to get in final, and 44 years to get the CUP. Today is the day! I felt so lucky to be here at this moment! Our driver lost his voice but he seemed very excited! He drove very fast on the way back to hotel- and I found out that all of the cars are faster than usual because this is a kind of celebration.
Police car are all around. Before, I only knew crazy soccar fans from TV, now I want to be one of them!
Like one of the speakers said at the opening dinner of WPC--For a while, as comsumer countries, we are trying everything to avoid consumption increasing because of the sky rocketing WTi price. But today, if Spain wins, all the country will be sleepless and those young people will drive around. So this may be a good day for OPEC!
Anyway, the 1st day in Madrid is so unforgetable!!
