A day before the Add Maths paper and I'm still not studying.... Yet... I have a feeling I will get really low for it anyway. And back to the topic on hand, what's the first thing you think of when someone says China? Me? I think about the riots, the absolute truth that at least one item in our houses is made in China, and of course, the Beijing Olympics.
The Beijing Olympics will fall on the 8th of August 2008. 08.08.08 for those of you out there who are not very attentive. As one would expect, a country who would host the Olympics would make material about China and that sort of shit, right?
Anyway, I procured a picture of some sort of booklet for the middle schools in China which just so happens to promote the Olympics.
As you can see, a boring background, some dude holding a tennis racket, the symbol for the Olympics, Haruhi Suzumiya holding a racket as well and a shitload of chinese writing that I can't read.
Wait...... Do my eyes decieve me??? Haruhi Suzumiya? On a Beijing Olympics booklet?!?
That.... is so messed up. Well, I'm sure everyone knows how China likes to copy stuff from other countries, and I guess the Haruhi Suzumiya franchise must be so damn popular that someone, somewhere, thought it would be a good idea to put her on the cover of their booklet.
Sigh... All I can say or do, is,
On an unrelated note, I noticed that with this post, I have achieved 3 posts a month like the months before... Will I break this streak? Who knows, if I have enough material, I might. Well, that's about it for today, see you guys in school or something.
