LongJing on CC TV

May 16, 2005 0 Replies

I'm watching a segment on the HangShou economic development zone where Toshiba relocated it's computer manufacturing facilities. They're not the only ones getting looking for a government tax break in exchange for jobs. It's a sad day when China taxes the worker and not the corporation. Hey just like our offshore Bahama PO boxes. Anyway the Japanese man who runs the operation is shown walking around West Lake to alleviate stress. At one point he is shown drinking LongJing tea at a pagoda on the highest part of the lake. He remarks it is the best tea in the world. He was drinking from a small glass with the leaves. As an aside I've never heard a mispronunciation of any English on this channel. It's like listening to Peter Jennings. But some things are only learned by hearing. They were doing movie reviews and mispronounced Am-i-ty-ville as A-mit-y-ville.
