Just a general wondering. What do you all do on your sunday? Why this question? Because I am curious about cultural differences between countries when it comes to the sunday, especially for those who are Christians. I'm curious wether the differences are determined by 'biblical order' or just cultural enforced.
-
:-? :suspect:
-
serious question, if you cannot deal with it, leave it
-
thought it was a more fun-question ;) I think there must be a day in the week, where you have time for familiy and not to work
-
Sunday is pretty much a dead day to me, since I cn't do anything late, lest I deprive myself of sleep prior to actually starting my week, wich is not very good. However, as a certified brazilian, I usually watch soccer on sundays, sometimes both the 4 and 6 o'clock matches.
-
I have no routine at sundays, so i do what i want/have to do which may include: hang out with friends/girlfriend; work (yes, sometimes i have to work, i guess research can never wait); watch/play soccer (usually with friends); ride bike; use my pc (including for playing lotr some times); travel (not very often lately); find some swiming pool to swim; pretty much a lot of things...
Usually the night time is a little short cause monday doesn't wait ;)
-
At sundays, all people here are tranquil. All shops are closed and weather is allways awesome and sunny (I am wondering why it never rains on sundays, although we have here a high percentage of raindays a year :-k...)
If I have not to work, I prepare things for the coming days.
People doesn't want you to work hard on sundays (if you have to). There are usually well-made movies the evenings. Your clothes you wear are nicer.
-
Church in the morning then a good old English Roast at lunch, then usually a nap and then I play football at 5. After that I'm usually so tired I just completely zonk out on the sofa.
-
Church, food, family, friends.
-
Basically sleeping till 2 in the afternoon from the late night shenanigans. Oh, and church in there somewhere.
-
Church first, then a typical chilean lunch, because at sundays my family use to buy a chilean lunch. Then, nothing, really. I may go to the mall or watch prison break or something.
-
Church, Lunch (Football, if it's Football season :mrgreen:), Book, Supper, Bed. ;)
-
Recently I've been forced by my friends to wake up early enough for a 10:30 church service, which, despite being tired (Saturday night is usually my latest night of the week...) is pretty good. Go out to lunch with people, then hang out till a youth church service at 6:30. Generally we go out somewhere else after that, then home to while away the last hour or two before rest is required. Although lately I've been finding it harder to get to sleep on sunday nights...
-
Church, not much/go in laws for lunch, my family for dinner, followed by more 'not much'.
-
Church, lunch, nap, dinner, and if I'm lucky I can convince my wife to play LOTR with me.
-
well to give you a brief, I'll just explain my yesterday sunday ;)
Woke up about 7:30, set table, ate off to church. Helped check in pre-K and under kids into 9:00 service hour and than went off to bible instruction class for freshman. That covered most of the first service, and when it was done I headed up with some friends to see the last parts of the service.
than went to S-school for second service, and after that was a childrens ministry appreciation dinner. fun fun fun. fried chicken and mashed potatoes!
than came home, messed around on computer, and got some friends together.
player LOTR with 2 of them, than got some more together and did 6-7 player halo.
Than they had to leave, ate supper with parents small group, and went downstairs to goof around for the three hours that that would be going on.
played another game of LOTR with litbro ( lost to my own deck) than read some tom clancy and played around an hour of battlefront 2. Legendary regulator kachow!

Theres always one with his life story :roll:

NASCAR
it's why sundays were invented
-
..and the seventh day God invented nascar?...haha
Furthermore, again for those who are religious, do you go out to restaurants, go shopping, cinema and such?
-
If my mates are up for it yeah. We kind of understand the whole 'day of rest' thing to mean day of relaxation and not working rather than doing absolutely nothing.
-
yeah ditto here. though, halo can be a lot of work. seriously! the tactics involved in assault on zanzibar!
LOL at hawkeye. I actually watched the end of one race, aside from a few crashes that were kewl, it seemed kinda boring (BTW no one got hurt in the crashes, otherwise it wouldn't be kewl...)

What is a nascar?
Shops are all closed on sundays here. So there is no shopping. As we are religious here, even Restaurants are closed. So you have to book to get a place in a Restaurant that might be open.
I like to go to cinema on sundays, but you have to pay much more on weekends :'(.

Nascar is a racing discipline. Circuits are all oval and they have to do a huge amount of laps. It is more strategic than one might think at the first glance. Tire presure, amount of fuel, pitsstops are all very essential in this racing class. But to me it is kinda dull, but I'm not a race fan anyway....
Ok back on topic.
-
The tracks are not all oval.

The tracks are not all oval.
lol, and with one small sentence he branded himself as a redneck forever...
-
Yeah I kinda find Nascar a bit dull. Its really hard to tell who's winning and all the cars are just driving in a circle over and over again.

I guess I did. :P I used to watch all of the races, but I haven't actually watched an entire one in several years.
-
Church play risk with myself (always win :) ) Than I kick GT's behind at something or another Battlefield 1942 or LOTR sometimes its Rise of Nations but never Age of Empires :) :)
