All this week we’ve been talking about the 2010 FIFA World Cup and also the City of Durban, South Africa. So let’s finish off with a combination of both.

Early on in my adventures in South Africa, I had a chance to visit the Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban. It was built especially for the 2010 FIFA World Cup. With all the investment South Africa has made in building stadiums, I had to wonder, “what will happen to the stadiums after the World Cup is over?” Fortunately Durban asked that question before they started building the stadium.

“What’s the one thing I should see…?”
That’s the question I ask the locals every time I enter a new city, wherever I am in the world. On many of my trips, I’m only in a city long enough to see one thing. If I leave without checking out the “it” place to go, I’m always regretting it.
So if you happen to be making your way to South Africa over the next few weeks to see the 2010 FIFA World Cup, don’t leave your host city until visiting the one thing you should see…

It’s Official!
The 2010 FIFA World Cup Starts today. After six years of preparation, South Africa is finally realizing a dream come true. In honor of the start of the month-long competition, adventureswithben.com is dancing – The Diski!
So what is it?
The Diski Dance is a specially-crafted choreographed dance about soccer that is spreading across the country of South Africa. It’s intended to get everyone excited about the 2010 FIFA World Cup. The world “Diski” itself, refers to the soccer ball. The dance moves are inspired by soccer kicks and chest bumps with some South African flair. Classes have been conducted in schools across the nation and of course, while I was there I had the opportunity to learn.
