Sporting and recreation habits die hard and so they should. It's great to be able to grab a beer or two and watch sports in one's adopted country. Some sports might be harder to get than others, depending on where you are.

What sports are televised where you are? occasion

Is there anything you like that isn't? cusssing

Anything you are glad they don't televise? shake

I didn't answer this myself

Cable is pretty cheap. We can see American baseball, English or German Football and Super 12 Rugby walk

. These are all good. MLB is actually live on free-to-air TV in English.

No cricket, rugby league Evil or Very Mad

, American Football Twisted Evil

, ice hockey Laughing

or basketball.

They occasionally show the local American football (with Japanese commentary) which is quite a laugh.
