6 am Super Bowl

Anyone who knows me well knows I’m not a sports fan. I sort of hate sports in fact, but I have gone to a super bowl party pretty much every year of my life. I generally locate the other guests who find sports boring and gossip with them, pausing to check out the commercials and the half time show. Danny loves football and was eager to see the game. Since it happened to work out that the super bowl fell on the day of the lantern festival and I thought I didn’t have work, I agreed to wake up at 6 am and go see the game.

There are two sports bars in Shanghai that I know of that cater to expats. We went to The Camel. Even though it is actually a British pub this morning it was filled with Americans. I’m not a fan of football but sports really do bring people together. I have to say, I really like being around Americans every now and then. It makes me feel at home. I was disappointed they didn’t show the same commercials but Madonna put on a pretty decent half time show. She looks really good for a woman in her 50’s.
