TV
Chinese people watch a lot of TV. Even in very poor areas, the TV set seems to be the one bare necessity when it comes to electronic devices. However, you don’t realize exactly how many people are watching the Chinese airwaves until you are on TV yourself. Two nights ago SuperMe (Fuzhou Foreign Idol) was broadcast on Fujian Southeast TV. I sent out text messages to my friends in Fuzhou to tell them to watch. However, after the show was over, I got a message from a friend in Beijing, and one in Shanghai, who had randomly tuned into my show. This may not seem like a big deal, but what are the chances of not one, but two people, outside of Fujian, randomly turning into my show?…especially when you consider that in Beijing and Shanghai, there are over 40 TV channels available on most sets. For those of you who missed it, I will try to get my hands on a video clip to put up on the blog.

周五晚上特意看了你的节目，但是因为中间插播太多广告，有一部分节目，我就没看了，特别是你在第二轮唱《好汉歌》时，我只看到了最后一点，真可惜。看完之后，我觉得你是那里面是表现得最好的西方人，只是比那个越南人差一些。但是，你的表现虽然有一些幽默感，可是有点太过认真，不够搞怪，不够热闹，所以在那个娱乐搞怪的节目里没有胜出，也很自然，但至少出场费又拿了不少吧。

I have been following your blog for some time, and also happened to tuned into the program that you were on. It was a surprise to me. But to be frank, I don’t watch TV very much. I was more surprise by the fact that you are known by the local media.
