On the road musings: Vietnamese TV

Every hotel room comes with a TV, usually satellite with a bizarre mix of channels. The vietnamese channels are a mix of game shows, pop idol shows, videos and news. We have also had access at various times to BBC World, BBC World Asia, MSNBC, CNN, CNN World (much better than CNN), entertainment channels from France, Italy, Germany, China, US and Australia.

Nothing says travel broadens the mind like vegging in front of Friends and mediocre US films on HBO including such gems as The Holiday (an xmas film), Mission Impossible 3 and a horrid appallingly bad film called Number 23 with Jim Carrey trying to act tortured.
