Italy wins world cup - people go crazy

The scene outside our apartment has been a madhouse for the past few hours! Italy’s win sparked off a furious ad-hoc driving parade completely with people hanging out of their cars, honking like crazy people and screaming “Viva Italia”.

What’s funny is that after the initial celebration, a second wave tore out and people made the rounds again. This time, they came down our street as well and the revelers worked to stay in that excited post-win hysteria.

The extra cars on the road clogged traffic, so you couldn’t tell if people were honking in excitement or frustration!

As I write this, they’re going at it again, 3 hours later and they’re still honking, screaming, and having a good time. It’s amazing to see this many people united in celebration.
