With all the excitment that comes with the World Cup 2010 in South Africa, I constantly hear the rather abnoxious sound of the Vuvuzela. This brightly colored plastic horn has become the unofficial symbol of the World Cup. When thousands of these horns are being played at once in the stadium, it sounds like "a swarm of angry wasps".

The World Cup has provided individuals across the continent of Africa, from Cairo to Cape town, with a sense of unity. This is especially true now as Ghana is representing the entire continent. It is rather exciting to be able to say that I visited the stadium as it was being constructed when we were in Johannesburg, South Africa!
