- 2013-02-04: The 49ers made it to the superbowl, and after getting shut out twice for the playoff games in Vietnam, we had to make a special effort to catch the final game. The night before the game, there was an interesting phenomenon where hundreds of Drongos and swifts were swarming just above the rooftops in the city. This cloud of black birds turned out to be a bad omen for the 49ers as they played the Ravens for the title.
