I love to travel, and I get away from home as often as I can. But when I choose a
place to visit, it’s usually because I’ve heard great things about the food, the
scenery or the museums. 1) The purpose of my travels has always been to
learn more about the world and to immerse myself in the culture of unfamiliar
places. Until I met Ted, I never imagined that people might travel just to watch a
sporting event. I like watching football and basketball, sure, but would I ever
travel thousands of miles for no other reason? 2) We were to go to
Barcelona for a long weekend where there were several football matches
scheduled, with great teams playing. Why not give it a try? Several things
impressed me during the weekend. First off, I’d had no idea how many people
follow sports. 3) I admit that it seemed inconceivable to me that they
wouldn’t take advantage of what being in another country has to offer. To my
amazement, however, most of them behaved exactly as if they were at home.
They showed surprisingly little interest in anything Spanish. When it came to
food, most of them chose the so-called ‘English’ pubs and refused to try anything

live matches between rival countries that is impossible to find in any other
situation. It was definitely a battle between opposing sides. But the sometimes
rude behaviour of fans in the UK was absent. Instead, there seemed to be an
enjoyment of the skills of the players on both sides that was hard to imagine
during a game at home. 4) Still, an authentic Spanish meal after the match,
