Some surprising things I saw on BBC World today:
- The Chasers’ War on Everything harrassing John Howard and Kevin Rudd. Australian political satire is world news!
- My eccentric friend Pawel, ramming a Japanese whaling ship with Sea Shepherd last year
- That Chinese opera in Chengdu is going to be the next big thing. I remember making Andrew sit through three hours of nasal singing with a stinking cold in 2002 (accidentally, I didn’t realise it would be three hours till we got there). Our interpreter sat behind us and tried to explain what was going on….
He important King of big land. He more important King of bigger land. He kill her but not know she is daughter.
And so on…
