Oh Canada!

Many Shenzhen taxis are now equipped with small video screens in the headrest of the passenger-side seat. These usually show advertisements of some sort, with one type also having the added benefit of an occassional clip from Mr. Bean.

In the cab we took home tonight, we were treated to an advertisement promoting Canada.
After this introduction, a map of Canada appears on the screen. Several provinces are highlighted, and pictures flash on the screen of highlights of some Canadian things. These include hockey, a moose, a stack of pancakes, a beaver, ducklings, and Avril Lavigne.

I'm a little disappointed they didn't think of putting Rush or Bryan Adams on there. They are MUCH better ambassadors to the Candadian music scene than Avril Lavigne.

But Megs- Avril Lavigne is comparable to a stack of pancakes, no?

OOh! "Avril Lavigne or a stack of pancakes?" sounds like a Canadian game show.
