Just now, at the Four Continents Figure Skating Championships in Osaka, China National Champion Song Nan skated a vibrant short program. The crowd clapped along in time to the Middle Eastern music, the only time the crowd has engaged itselt in a performance tonight. When Song finished, rising up from the ice with his fists raised, the crowd responded, giving him a standing ovation -- the first of the evening.
The common run of inhabitants of this blessed land know how to behave.
Thanks MTC, for that wonderful insight how it feels like to live here. That is not an insignificant blog post. People like you make a difference.
