Second Convention
Ah...Finally a convention that I can understand!
This convention was pretty good. I don't want to spoil it for those who had not have it yet, so I'm not telling. And the drama! Finally I understand what that account was all about. When I read that account for the first time I was like "I don't understand, why someone would do something like that to that prophet", but now I get it.
I was going to take some pics, and as a mater of fact, I prepared my camera, gave it a pretty good clean. And I mean, I even open it and clean the inside, which was full of dust. But then, when I was putting it back together, I forgot to put the memory card back! I realized that once I got to the hotel, 2hrs away from home. Not a very smart move.
I was able to grab a few snap shots from someone else's memory card :D
The interesting thing is that once I came back home, I can't find my memory card :-S
Now, comparing the chinese with the spanish convention, I saw two main differences, which were not the language: The way the actors were dressed and the jokes.
The spanish convention, the actors were dressed like I usually seen them before. But in the chinese convention, there was less colors. In fact, the women were dressed in one single color and the dress was more like that of a nun. And then the jokes. Yes, the jokes. The first half of the drama was laugh after laugh in the chinese convention. Of course I didn't understand what was so funny. However, there is a part where two kids are interacting and I could visually see some things that were funny and that were not done in the spanish drama.
My reasoning to this is that the chinese drama was directed, pretty much, to one culture: chinese culture. Therefore it was easier to include things that were relatively funny to everyone (chinese persons). In the other hand, the spanish drama is not for one "culture". The same drama is used in Spain, Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, US Spanish conventions, etc etc. So what it might be funny to some, it might not be to others. Therefore I assume they rather made it more neutral.
