Yeah! I can start to talk endlessly about my life to nobody in particular again. Thank you CCCP or whatever you like to call yourselves.
Summer's rapidly ending, bringing in the lovely cool weather to Beijing. I hope to go to 香山 and see some of the other sites that I missed out on last year. Plus the Olympics are over so no more cutesy mascots or sports informational programs running endlessly on the public transportation. They're just replaced with some of the world's worst commercials running endlessly, though it has to be said that if they can get you to remember the brand name for a anti-constipation tea medicine through sheer merciless repetition, there is a method to their mindnumbingly banal madness.
Really though, the smart passenger shouldn't be paying a hint of attention to all those t.v. screens, especially when riding the 13 as it whooshes above the crowded streets. As the line gets closer and closer to 东直们 there's nothing but construction on it's sides, along with the low quality housing of some of the millions of hardworking migrant workers that make this city tick. The scenery changes almost daily and being lucky enough to take a ride during the sunrise or sunset definitely beats watching the umpteenth showing of a group of satisfied product users shout a slogan.
Next post: Let's talk about the olympics...again
