TV in china
There was a TV in my hotel room that showed the national Chinese
TV channels. Kung fu transcends language barriers so I
was happy to see the odd person getting beaten up. There was
one kung fu show that was almost like a soap opera. The kung fu
master was clearly in love with some young kung fu chick, who
had a younger boy friend. Frankly, I was in love with the
kung fu chick, she had the most beautiful smile.
There were a lot of quiz show programs. They had young beautiful
people on it being sexy. However, I didn't see anyone do more
than kissing, so it looks like sex is still forbidden in China.
One channel was in English. This seemed to mostly have business
stories and a little bit of news. There was certainly no communist
propaganda, because everyone is too busy trying to get rich.
They only had three adverts on the English channel. These
adverts were played about 4 times an hour? One advert was for a pillow
filled with tea leaves! What, why? I admit that, if I have run out of
tea, I might need to dump my tea-pillow in a bucket of hot water and
drink that. How do they wash a tea pillow. I have been brain washed in
some strange way.
The other advert was for Js travel. Frankly, if I ever go to China
again, I will not book my trip via Js travel. If I hear about J's
travel, I am likely to start sobbing. After a week of watching these
adverts I was ready to kill someone.
