The Superbowl is over. A great game and I was glad Greenbay was able to win. My Broncos had a bad season so maybe next year. Anyway the game was good and a few of the commercials were good too. Every year the biggest commercials on American TV are shown during the Superbowl. Some people get more excited about the commercials than the actual game.

This year I thought the commercials were just so-so. But below are a couple of my favorites from this year. My favorite was this one from Volkswagen. This little kid was pretty cute.



Another one that was kind of funny from Doritos.



Also I liked this one with Eminem for Chrysler. I thought it was a pretty power add for not only the company but the whole city of Detroit that has been to hell and back a few times. I was really impressed with this and I think a lot of Americans felt a little proud about it. I thought it was a good message to say Detroit is coming back. (Whether or not thats true I don`t know. But for the auto industry and the American people we should all hope so).

Nabana no Sato:

I went to Nabana no Sato and enjoyed seeing the illuminated lights. It is the place to go in Nagoya to enjoy the winter atmosphere with the lights. Below are some pics. I was impressed. After seeing the lights I went to the onsen (hot springs) that are there at night. A really nice onsen. Maybe ranks in my top 10 of onsens I have been in Japan. Just really nice and the perfect way to warm up after walking in the cold for hours to see the lights. Pictures taken with Canon 50D, Tokina fish eye, 10-17mm, F3.5-4.5.
