Donát (17 years old, Nagybajom)

On the evening of March 20th 2010 Donát's wish came true at last. He could fly to Dortmund (Germany) to watch live a football match of Borussia Dortmund.

On Friday we flew from Budapest to Dortmund. It was a beautiful day so we had a great view of the city from the sky.
When he arrived he went for a walk around the city. There are lots of local fans of the team so we were not surprised that there were Dortmund relics in lots of shops. By the time we arrived at the hotel Donát had a real yellow and black Borussia Dortmund scarf. Later on we decided to eat a pizza and as I realised that this was Donát’s favourite food we headed to a nice italian restaurant. We went to bed quite early as we were tired from the trip and we had to save our energy for the big day. Saturday we had breakfast in our four star hotel and then went sightseeing. Though there was a slight drizzle it did not bother us while we wandered downtown and walked along the cute tiny streets.

We saw lots of fans and even more shops with Dortmund’s gifts. When we got hungry we ate a kebab at a restaurant where all the other customers were Dortmund fans. Nearly the whole city was preparing itself for the game. Before we headed to the stadium I "had to" hand over to Donát the present of the German Wünsch Dir Was eV. foundation. The name means "wish something"; they are doing the same as Csodalámpa and they have already helped us on previous wish grantings in Germany.
They not only gave us 3 tickets for the game but they sent a Dortmund football strip which was signed by all the players of the team.
Donát was really surpised by the present and he wore it proudly during the game.

At the stadium there was a huge queue outside but we passed it pretty quickly and took our place on the east side, a little bit left from the goal.
There was a frantic ambiance and 80.100 spaectators were following the game live in the stadium. Dortmund was playing against Leverkusen which team is only one place ahead in the ranking, so we hoped to have a really exciting game.
There were no goals in the first half though the game itself was really exciting. The second half was more interesting as Dortmund - with the Hungarian Hajnal Tamás playing - scored 3 goals right in front of us. Donát will always remember the fans and their happiness as Dortmund won.

On Sunday morning we relaxed and after lunch we headed to the airport. We talked a lot about the game we saw the night before and we can say that we have unforgetable memories from the game.
