I love sports, especially American football. In my village, my internet connection speed is terrible. I can’t even skype, so streaming sports through the internet is out of the question. Although I missed the entire NFL season, I was not about to miss the Superbowl. Luckily, there are some amazing Peace Corps volunteers in Mbeya who share my love of sports. My friend TJ decided to host a Superbowl party because he works at a college with great internet. In preparation, we bought lots of beer and made nachos. Because of the time difference, we had to wake up at 2 am on Monday morning just to watch. My parents gave me an AMAZING Christmas present this year: a mini projector. And of course we put the gift to great use. We had a bit of difficulty streaming the game internationally and finally resorted to skype. One of TJ’s friends in America turned his laptop towards the television so we could watch the game. While the quality was not ideal, the important thing was that we were able to watch the Superbowl. We streamed the radio broadcast, so we didn’t miss a thing. Unfortunately, not all of the PCVs managed to stay awake. But of course I was cheering for the Giants until the very end.
