Are You Ready for Some Football?! The Superbowl in Korea
Here it is ladies and gentlemen – your guide to enjoying THE SUPERBOWL here in Korea. Sure, you have to get up early. Sure you may have to take the morning off of work. But you can still get together with friends and family and experience the entire Superbowl LIVE just like you did back home. This is one of those really special occasions when you can drink before noon.
Basic info:
The Indianapolis Colts will take on the New Orleans Saints on Sunday, February 7th 2010 at 6:25 pm – in Florida that is. In Korea it translates to kick off at 8:25 am on Monday February 8th. It may not be the most ideal time to be watching the game, but for those of you who work evenings, you should be pretty happy with it. And you can catch the whole game and get a little nap in before work at 1 if you need to take a half day off.
It’s not common, but there will be plenty of Expat-operated bars showing the game live along with great grub and the optional Bloody Mary as well. Enjoy!

Is there some cable channel I can access it from so I won’t have to travel all the way to either of these metropolis cities? I live in a rural area and really don’t want to travel all the way for the game (but I really want to watch it live).
Or if there’s one in Chuncheon, I’d be more than willing to do it.
