There is only one English TV station at my hotel, and none of the other stations cover what I’m looking for. Further, China limits the import of Western movies to about 20 (I’m told), so that chance of seeing something I want when it’s released in the U.S. is slim.
So, what’s going on in the U.S. that I can’t see while in China?
Movies opening:
* Transformers
* Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
* The Simpsons
* Ratatouille
* Live Free or Die Hard
* The Bourne Ultimatum
Sporting events:
* Wimbledon – going on right now. Looks like Federer is doing well as expected.
* Tour de France – No Lance, so I don’t care that much. But I am curious to see what comes of all the doping allegations trailing over from last year.
* The British Open – late July. Maybe they’ll recap it for a few minutes on CCTV.
Other:
* iPhone debut – missed this already
* Clean air
* Recognizable food
* TC Cherry Festival
* TC Film Festival
