In transit entertainment

It's curious the music inflicted upon you on a coach tour. This I presume is what our Chinese driver thinks we will like and I suppose if you are about 65 or over you would. The trouble is the average age of this group has to be about 30.

Hotel California - The Eagles
Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme - Simon & Garfunkel
Rivers of Babylon - Boney M
I am Sailing - Rod Stewart
Take my Breath Away - Berlin
Anything by Celine Dion
Anything by Marian Carrey
Saving the Best for Last - Someone nauseating I don't remember
Kings and Vagabonds - Elton John
Don't Cry for Me Argentina - Madonna


The music I've heard in China has been uniformly terrible, whether it be slushy pop-trash from the west or home spun wailing. I suppose it's good news for the British - at least we have one thing left to export here.
