Jack Bauer has saved the world 5 times in the past 96 hours, what have you done with your life?

So I haven't seen too much of this city. I was dead tired from playing ultimate in the outrageously hot weather and I haven't made much of an effort. I felt homesick upon arriving since I couldn't speak the language so what did I do? I walked to Chinatown and ate there and talked Chinese to the waiters.

I think there are interesting sites to see but I can't seem to get myself motivated to find them. I've hung out with these 2 girls from my class in Beijing that live here, and one suggested I go to her hometown somewhere far from the city, so I'm waiting to hear if she can go. I'd like to leave the city during the week and return on the weekend for pickup ultimate so I can get in shape for the hat tournament.

Woke up at 5:30am to watch the Super Bowl. $7 got me into this western restaurant and an American breakfast to watch the game on a large projector. It was fun. Unfortunately it was broadcast on ESPN international which did not include the normal Super Bowl commercials, so we watched rugby ads, int'l soccer ads, and these bits of "Wimbledon Gold Moments" of old tennis players. I might search the internet for the good commercials.

Pictures are slow coming up because this internet place that I go to has problems with my portable hard drive. Or maybe its because I dropped it, only from about 2 feet though and the drive was off. And I've been able to access it once so I blame the lousy computers here.
