Last night I watched my first live American football game in France. They had the live feed from FOX for the Bears and Seahawks game with French commentators. There are a lot more commercials in America, so we got to look at the crowd when FOX went to a commercial in the US.
It was interesting to hear what the commentators were saying. They didn’t do any play by play because they spent a lot of the time explaining everything for the people who don’t understand the game, which is pretty much everyone in France. Sarah joked that I was probably the only one watching the game in the entire country of France. I told her that Matt, the other American assistant in Belfort, was probably watching it too, so it wasn't a complete loss.
It was really the best of both worlds because I was able to watch football and practice my French at the same time. It doesn’t get much better than that!!
I am still working on the roomies. They didn’t want to watch the game. Maybe in a couple of weeks when the Super Bowl is on they will realize how great football really is. There is still time!
In other news every radiator in our apartment has decided to stop working, so it is getting quite cold in here. We pay 150 euros a month just for heating, so it is really annoying that they are not working. Our landlady is coming by tomorrow, so hopefully we can get them working. Right now we are just bundling up as much as we can, but it is still really bad when you have to get up early and to shower!!
