Quote Brian!
We are addicted to V - the music channel!
Haha... Right after this song they played R.E.M. "Everybody Hurts." Gotta love the random playlists :) It's so refreshing to hear everything mixed up. It's like inserting one of my mixed CD's at home. You never know what song to expect next...
Speaking of never knowing what to expect... then they played DubStars' "Stars." That was my favorite song in 11th grade of High School!!!! I knew they were a UK band, and they didn't get alot of play in the States. I happened upon them by chance online while researching something for school... so it was cool when the song caught my ear while I was preparing my lessons for tomorrows class, and I actually got to see their music video. Made my night :)

TV
Hulu doesn't work internationally. Boo!!!
Luckily, we are still able to keep up with LOST. It's the last season!!! We've been waiting 6 years for answers... But are still as confused... 2 episodes left! It was nice to sit down and watch a show in English.
We do have cable TV. I think every other station is a different language :) Brian and I ad-lib words. It is very entertaining.
They have the Sci-Fi channel here. Oh goody!
For news we have a choice of BBC, Fox, or Al Jazeera. Ironically, no CNN.
We mostly watch the music channels like V. They had this channel in China too. There are 3 music channels. No MTV - The channels here actually play music videos. I enjoy doing my make-up in the morning to old 80's songs. This morning it was "Rush" by Paula Abdule... Oh Keanu...
The selection of music is much different than in the states, but still good. I love watching the music videos because the videos released in America are not the ones released internationally. So each time I hear a familiar song the video is different. Our new "favorite" song is a cover of Under Pressure featuring Vanilla Ice by Jedward. It makes us stop in our tracks each time it plays on TV... it definitely has that WTF factor going on....
