Day 22: How to Celebrate

Brazilians make their own fireworks. This rarely results in beautiful sky displays. This occasionally results in loud injuries. Usually, it just means a throwable explodeable thing.

Throwable explodeables are required accessories for watching soccer. The first thing outside the window must be reduced to smithereens every time your team scores. 

The T.V. at the corner bakery is always welcome to a Corinthians fan. The water store down the street is for Sao Paulo. I follow four different games by listening for the direction of noises.

Screams from over here? Palmeiras gave up a point.

Laughter and explosions back there? Corinthians scored. 

My neighborhood will be a scary place the day Palmieras face Corinthians. The whole city will.
