I think it is awesome you are getting to experience all this. (i don't usually read long entries, but i did with this...cause, well, its a beautiful thing when someone has such great experiences)
also, in relation to the soccer game, When I was in Germany we went to a Bundesliga Game (German Club for soccer) and I probably had the same experience with that as you...especially the security. We were patted down as well, and bags searched too. (Water bottles weren't allowed in b/c they can be thrown as weapons.) actually, that is probably the end of the similarity...I mean, I have no doubt that the inside was just as pumped up and enthusiastic (They have cages they put fans in that are known for getting out of control) but the whole athmosphere, like they had a guy with a keg on his back selling beer (and everything is in cups...no bottles..lol) who would come up, take your cup, sit down, and watch the game as he is filling your beer. It was pretty cool. but yeah, your soccer game reminded me of that because of the security and the most enthusiastic fans you've ever seen (me too).
good luck with the rest of your year, and if you are ever back...i have no idea if you'll be back over the summer, or ever, but if you are, lets hang out. I like stories. :)
