Thanks, But No Thanks!

Da Shan can breathe a sign of relief cos I ain’t doing that TV thing. When thy guys came to the university to recruit foreigners, they said they wanted us to maybe perform in some way (sing, dance, tell a joke, …) and talk about life in Dalian. That seemed fine to me. I know the song I can sing (The Moon Represents My Heart) is totally cliché, but at the moment, I don’t know any others!

Anyway, I went to a meeting about the show last night. The guy insisted on me coming at 5:30, which was impossible since I had class. I arrived after 6 and we were then made to wait over an hour while they talked about some other show. It then transpired that what they originally told us was not what the show was actually going to be! Now it was an infantile talk show themed around the ocean where they would ask us stupid questions and expected canned responses. Pretty much, they expected us to act like idiots for the pleasure of the host and audience! No thanks!

Not to worry, there might be another show in December, which would involve some singing!

By the way, after reading the comments made on the last post, I want to clear something up. I never had any intentions of being more famous than Da Shan. I was exaggerating. I don’t even want to be famous! I am not a fan of Da Shan but I admire his Chinese language skills and I hear he is adept in Chinese cross-talk humour. That indeed is a great achievement.
