MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL China Style

Yes. That is right. I was invited to attend a good ole MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL viewing at one of the bars in Causeway Bay. And let me tell you. It was so much fun!!!!!!!!!

Yes, the game had already been played. No, I did not cheat and look at the score so I would know the outcome before the viewing. and Yes, I had nachos and some beer- pretty much an American night if you ask me!!!!

Adrian from work used to live in the USA and enjoys watching good ole fashioned American Football and has recently caught up with a group in Hong Kong that also enjoys to watch the games on Monday nights. He was nice enough to invite us Americans along for the event and let me say, I had a GREAT TIME!!!!!

We get to Champs (when I saw the name I was already excited!) and the beer special for the night were Buy one...GET ONE FREE. Well, I don't mind if I do! (it was a Monday and the 2nd was FREE!!) I was alll about it.

The big game on the big screen!

Some other Americans joined- there was a girl teaching school here from Cali, her boyfriend from Hawaii (of course I asked him if he was a surfer- he's not but he was sponsored for being a body boarder!), and man who works for Cartoon Network and here form work from LA and his wife who is here with him. They were all fantastic to talk to and I learned a lot of things that I should do before I head home! (ie- get a visa for China for a visit, get cheap tickets to attend some event, where to travel on the weekend, etc).

naaaaaacccchoooooooss

We were watching the Steelers/Giants game (I was cheering for Kevin and Meghan's friend on the Giants!) and it was a pretty good game until the Steelers pulled away at the end for a W.

The game ended and I had one beer not touched I went to give to the body boarder when he told me, "no, just take it to go!" and was informed that you can take your drinks with you! Kinda like being on Bourbon street again but it can be in all of Hong Kong. I didn't even really want that beer but hearing I could take it with me...heeeeeck yeah! I just took it out of Champs, had a drink and then threw it away. It was a Monday night and I knew I had work bright and early (it was already way past my bedtime).

peaaace out Monday night!

Meanwhile, Adrian was on a call for work at 10pm so he could take partake in any of the fun.

All business.

Looking forward to this Monday and more games, beer, and nachos! Definitely helps to feel more like home to have those types of nights!!
