South Africa is getting ready for soccer World Cup

In June 2010, South Africa will host the soccer World Cup as the first African nation to do so.  The entire country is getting ready and getting excited.  There are soccer stadiums all across South Africa and you see kids and adults playing soccer in open fields everywhere.

Here are some pictures of sculptures made out of rope lights that are scattered around the convention center in Johannesburg.
