Notes » August 2008

See? See?

Hong Kongers would rather watch horse racing than Olympic dressage, judging by these quotes:

"I expected to see horse racing. I have to say this is the most boring thing I've ever seen in my life."

"... even worse than school."

"... most spectators left the venue early."

"Some fell asleep in their seats ..."

"... they were "deeply bored" by what they saw."

"I thought the event would be like a carnival. But it was so boring ..."

"... most did not turn up after hearing on the radio how boring the dressage was ..."

"I sat for 10 minutes and left ..."

They had more fun at the souvenir shop, because buying useless crap is really exciting:

"Yeah, it is true that we had to wait quite a while [to get into the shop], but this is where you can feel the Olympic atmosphere. It's worth it."

Lucky that shop is there, because when people spend their money on tee shirts they won't have anything left for explosives.
