hello there, this exists to help my failing memory remember things I would want to remember a few years down the road.

Don't know if any of you reach home early enough to catch
Diminishing Horzions / 消失地平线.


It's been airing on Channel U, and each episode brings viewers to remote villages and places that are about to disappear from our mass of green.

I don't usually enjoy travel shows, I find they are rather "loud" and the places visited are not all that uncommon, and it's always sponsored by some travel agent dying to sell us some packages. The narration and tone of this show is quiet, reflective and melancholic, the places are really remote, and so many scenes look like perfect photographs. They show places we might not even have the courage to visit, or even the opportunity to, and the interaction between the host and the common people makes it a lot more human and real.

I think the team behind this- those doing research, liaising to find English-speaking people in the community, the scriptwriters, camera people, and of course the very sincere and garang host should be very proud of their ten episodes.

Airing every Wednesday, 8pm on Channel U,
& repeats at 12midnight, you owls.

On a side note, Allan Siew, I think you read/watch very interesting things - things I will never find online, thanks for sharing on your blog, together with your thoughts and illus!
Interesting article on sex workers during the Christmas season.
Er, please keep clear if you're uncomfortable with such topics ^_^
