today in the lab, I was asked to a Superbowl party. one Chinese member of the lab asked about whether or not I usually watch the Superbowl. "All Americans watch the Superbowl," I said, grinning. "The commercials are also important."
The Housemate just told me that at one point today, while I was not in the main lab area, the host of the upcoming party was telling other members of the lab about the Superbowl and inviting people to the party. Questions that she overheard:
"Who's playing this year?"
"What's the name of the Seattle team?" (His answer: I'm...not actually sure...)
"Do people usually do this [have a party around the game]?"
The Housemate noted that this party will probably be more about hanging out than about actually following the game. She followed this up by saying, "I guess that happens other times, though."
We also learned that in China, football is called "Oliveball." The things I never knew...
