I'm Going On Holiday! (And the Top Words Created by the Simpsons)

December 2nd 2007 23:38
There will continue to be no posts over the next couple of weeks, as I am going away on holiday. I'm headed to Hong Kong and Beijing, about which I'm very excited! While I'm away, I will definitely take a peek at what television in these two places has to offer...

As a parting gift, I leave you with Cracked.com's list of the Top Twelve Words Created by The Simpsons.

Have a lovely time Ninabelle!

...make sure to check out Tsim Sha Tsui backstreets for the best Yum Cha (Dim Dum) and bamboo stick torture sessions aka Reflexology!...and catch a junk to Aberdeen Harbour for the best seafood...although I do believe that the Jumbo Kingdom floating restaurant has become a very popular tourist destination...so not sure what the quality is like now...

...and Beijing will be so exciting!! Take lots of pics of their Olympics preparations!

Look forward to 'seeing' you when you get back.

big hugs...

My memory of Chinese TV is that there is much more focus on economic news than any other on the news channels, and then there were the soap operas set in ancient Chinese times which thrived on close-ups and medium shots. A very conventional medium which I found oddly entrancing as a visitor. CCTV also does their best to give you cultural programs, and Chinese MTV is a blast.
Hope you enjoy all of your trip - I'm sure you'll have some very interesting stories to tell when you return, about the TV and otherwise!
