The Soccer World Cup has come and gone. South Africa has certainly done the world proud. We entertained and hosted thousands of foreign guests and a good time was certainly had by all. Vuvuzelas and kuduzelas filled the air with monotonous cacophony, while flags and "socks" adorned car aerials, windows and side-view mirrors.
I have never been a huge soccer fan and will never become one, but the atmosphere was electrifying. Having such a huge, world-class event happening on your doorstep made it even more special.
Nelson Mandela Bay was bursting at the seems but everything seemed to be under control - no power cuts, the depleted water supply was enough to sustain the masses and the transport system proved to be successful.
It was, in essence, a successful event worthy of international praise.
To Brazil we'll go in 2014. Hope to see you there.
