Monday Morning Super Bowl

Who gives a test during the Super Bowl, honestly? My Chinese teacher and a few others in fact. The Super Bowl started at around 7am Monday morning here. A few of my friends here skipped class completely to see the game. There are a few bars that were playing the game. My class started at 8 and ended at 9:40. I told the taxi driver to step on it as we weaved in and out of morning traffic to arrive just in time to watch the entire 4th quarter. Americans were all over the place and seating was limited. However, when the colts intercepted the ball and ran for a touchdown in the 4th a few seats opened up...weird? This bar catered to westerners and was kind of expensive. We ordered some nachos which were a good attempt, but far from what anyone was used to. It was a good time and we talked to a lot of American business men that were working in Beijing. I got back and checked out all of the commercials at http://www.youtube.com/superbowl it has a good way of ranking the commercials.

I like the "snickers- do something manly" and the "sierra mist- come over beard" commercials the most. Bud Light had some really funny ones too.
