Greg Wesson's Esoteric Globe

I had researched before hand and found out that in Tanzania ESPN would be showing the Superbowl. I walked around Stone Town, and saw very few places that would likely to be showing American football, so I decided I would watch the game on the TV in the hotel lobby.

My alarm clock was broken, so I left it up to fate to try and wake up at 3am to catch the game. I did not wake up, though, until the call to prayer at 5am. At least, I figured, I would get to see the second half. I walked downstairs and clicked on ESPN, and BOXING WAS ON!

The TV signal we were getting was not from mainland Tanzania, but rather from India, and I suppose that ESPN in India was not showing the game. So this year was a bust on seeing the game.

I did find out the next day thanks to CNN International that the Patriots won 24 - 21 over the Philly Eagles. Next year I will have to try and book a place that is more American Football friendly.
