That’s how I watched Germany beat Argentina. Sitting with the engineers we can see the ESPN feed of the games. It’s patched to us from the IBC on our return path. Even though the screen is tiny, the image is great and I like watching and hearing the ESPN broadcast better than the local show here. Even though it’s the same “world feed” video wise, I like to hear two talents calling the game. And for that matter, it’s in English, not Portuguese like the games are often in the office.
In other exciting news, I played paparazzi today with two players on the Ghana team. They were in the mall shopping. I ran for a good 100 meters backwards getting video of them …walking. This was after we interviewed them. The whole thing really got my adrenaline going. That’s got to be a good thing. There’s nothing like seeing real newsmakers and covering it.
There was a Lamborghini outside the Michelangelo Hotel the other day. I thought these only existed in video games and movies!
And I was walking around yesterday and came across a sky bridge between the Sandton City mall and the Intercontinental Hotel. There was a nice view. And there’s my camera in the reflection…. See the sun? This is looking north!
