Well... that was some superbowl wasn't it. How about those commercials. I don't know about you but i think that those guys who are running for president of mexico went all out on their ads that night. Also that ad for the auto dealership featuring cast members of that popular spanish soap opera was amazing. I mean I knew P-diddy was doing one but the guy who plays Fernando... the sherif from the colnial mexico soap. You know... sometimes it makes me wonder if the game has become too comercial.
Acutally the superbowl was fun. We played a game of american football with some teachers and students at the schools field which was fun cause most of the people only about 1/2 understood how to play. The coolest part though was that there was a rally for team Yellow and Red going on on the street beside the field. The way costa ricans react in elections is insane. From the early morning until well into the night there were people honking their horns to the set rythms of their team, and waving flags. WOW... if there is one thing costa ricans love to do... it's wave flags. There would be cars with like 9 flags of different teams... but they were still waving them and honking their horn. So this rally was blasting music and screaming like crazy every time a car with their flag drove by... and screaming even louder when a car of the other team drove by. it was nuts.
The result was that nobel peace prize winner got 40.6% and glasses got 40.3%... so they're recounting. these are tense days. As nobel peace prize said on the news... costa rica is a 'house divided.' Speaking of disapointments i found out that ULatina actually does have a team name. They're the dolphins. I'm so disapointed... although in some ways it does suit. I mean what better to name a school whos power house sport is cheerleading (seriously they're going to florida for the world championships or something.). Buzzards would have been way cooler.
Also the superbowl gave me the chance to try the hands down worst beer i've ever tasted.Most of the beer here is average. The big two, imperial and pilsen, taste like a typical molson or labatt. They also only come in cans. It made me wonder because in mexico, it doesn't matter what the beer is, they all come in bottles and you get limes. So at the party kim decided to try ROCK ICE LEMON. Imagine somebody took an aveage beer... poured in about two tablespoons of limejuice (from concentrate so its real sour) and then topped it off with a few table spoons of salt. It tasted like lime flavoured salt water. Words can not even express how disgusting this drink was. But the weird thing is i see people drinking this all the time down here.
Kim gives it two stars, but i don´t know if her ratings count when it comes to beer.
So if you ever see it in the lcbo give it a whirl... that way if anyone bitches to you about how Canadian is the worst beer in the words you can top it. Or at least equal it.
