Times like this make me even more appreciative of my passport - Bush is coming, Sarkozy 'better not', more attacks on the Dalai Lama just as talks were underway and what would-be terrorists have in store for them should they attempt any funny business.

those segways have a topspeed of about 25 km/h and can drive maybe half an hour so the terrorists would need to be on a moped to escape... what a nice vid to start the weekend with some laughing ^_^
BTW nice haircut... why am I thinking of prisonbreak right now... anyway have a nice weekend ^_^ -
I love that last part about what trouble makers have in store for them, especially what I will assume is the "armed calvary" on Segways.
It is always interesting that the Chinese have a unique perspective on harmony especially after having listened to Peking Opera compositions which are really dissonant by Western standards. They seem to forget that one of the tenets of harmony is the that there must be tension and release.
The modern PRC conception of harmony seems to be all about social release with no tension or disagreeable elements to it. Even a lot of the official pop music does not seem to be dissonant musically, I guess philosophically so as to not be a safe haven for fermenting social dissonance.
I find that in amazing contrast to the underground music, especially Cold Fairyland, which seems to understand the tension and release concept. As such music gains traction in China, perhaps those in government our age in China will start to realise the value of tension in society in terms of opposing viewpoints. The fact that the PRC is having some sor tof dialogue with the DL may be a step in that direction.-

When you criticize china and make fun about things you do not even report clearly, have you realized that China is actaully copying exactly what US is doing in Iraq and to BL.
You think DL is a hero, what about BL to you?
Please look at yourself in the mirror and ask yourself, whether you are a true freedom fighter or just a clown.
By looking at your videos, I appreciate more about my Passport: a Chinese passport.
No wonder people in Europe and Asia are laughing loud about Americans, they are so innocent. Things to them is just black/white. They can select a low IQ president, who has created so much conflicts and slow down of world economy, people outside of America are just wondering, what cause such IQ slow down? democracy? freedom of speech? or just too much fat in the food?-
