Innsbruck - here despite it never being on my to-see list

As the day winds down in Jordan, the US is still 4 hours away from the Super Bowl. The game was finally mentioned on TV tonight and other than me, no one tuned into the topic. By the time I wake up in the morning, the game will have been over and gone with barely a notice overseas. It always is a disconnect how far removed I am from normal social activities that take place at home when I travel. There is a whole different life here where the day is paced different and work has a far bigger impact on people's lives than at home. There are also less distractions from work and politics and a nine hour work day easily rolls into an eleven hour work day.
