HSV Forever and Ever!

Hey, let's start this blog off right! Aidan and his Hamburg Mannschaft: Borg, Ritter and Skeleton all with excellent jerseys of the Hamburg Sport Verein. This is Hamburg's big Fussball club and, as far as I knew, the only Fussball club. Boy was I wrong. As soon as I got here, I learned about the other club: St. Pauli. They are in the second league but they do have a pretty cool symbol:


The Castle is the symbol of Hamburg. But they have a more popular symbol too: the Totenkopf! (Dead Head.)

Aidan's friend Maxim is a big St. Pauli fan and it turns out that most Hamburgers like one club or the other. Can't like both I guess! Must be like Liverpool and Everton, or the Yankees and the Mets. I'm going to buy at least one sweatshirt with the St. Pauli symbol, just because it is cool. But I won't wear it here because it'll cause all sorts of problems in my lab. My lab mate Julia hates HSV and my lab mate Christian is the leader of the HSV online Fan-Club (and has Season tickets).

Ok, I need to eat. More later! -Scott
