The travelling story of the common man

Some people might have no idea how crazy people could be when it comes to football

 whereever you are, people are all the asme about sport....

 

Last Sunday there's seahawk game in Seattle, tons of people were wearing seahawk color

make me feel like if I wear the opponent color I could get killed by them - -" 

anyhow, it was hilarious when I saw a guy wearing another team color

everyone on the street just stared at him like he's something from the circus 

and some people were pulling their shirt to shoe "Seahawk" 

it was funny when they walked pass each other lol 

their all try to showed their shirt lol 

 

The "Football" make this gloomy city come to live with people walking around the street wven though it was raing 

people were yelling and laughing on their way to the game

 

well, sometimes people get confuse about the word "Football"

especialy Asian like I am - -"

 

In EVERY countries all over the world " Football" mean football..... you know, little round ball with 10 players? lol 

and football mean " use your foot to kick the ball"

 

While here in America, "Football" means tons of bullied tackle each other to get the ball,

and their football mean "use your hand to carry the ball, run, and avoid other bullied" 

and here in America, they called football that using foot to kick the ball "Soccer"

 

hmm as I type this I notice so many things lol 

 

first, America ALWAYS want to make things complicated 

they use different matrix from every other countries..... we use cm. they use ft. 

they use miles we use km. 

they use lb. we use kg.

it so confusing for me when I have to answer in those - -"

 

and they don't know how to convert it to compare with others....

I still remember my friends asked me once how tall I am 

I said 170cm....it's about......5 ft.7? I'm not sure lol

they were like.....170cm?! wow!....... how many cm. equal to 1 ft again?

...........

thank you Mr. Bullied, don't tell me you never learn that in school

 

and I asked my americans friends

" Why you guys don't use the same matrix as others? why want to make things complicated?"

almost every answers are the same

" We want to be different...."

.........

Thank you again my bullied friends, that helps me to understand you guys a little bit more.

 

that's why their have their "owned" football

 

 

 

 Second, my grandma use to say

"Your feet are for walking and standing..... don't use them as your hands, it's rude!!"

when I use my foot to close the refrigurator's door 

 in asian countries using, or pointing your foot at someone= RUDE!!

 But here! in America! No one cares!!!!!

That's why the use their "Hand" to play "Football"

 

football come from words Foot+ball...... a ball for your foot dude

 

I think that's why they got the "rude" stereotype.... 

 

coz my host dad use to put his foot up to the table to tied his shoe....while we were having dinner...

yeah yeah, I was shock but ignored...... here's America, he's American

Here's not Thailand...... it's different here
