Another Adjustment to China


One other thing that has been difficult living in China is not being able to watch the Tour de France with good video and audio. Something that I really look forward to in July is the TDF. This year I have resorted to watching it through Slingbox which has very poor video quality for action media. The race is usually televised at 7:30pm Beijing time (which is good, except that is when the internet service is the worst for foreign internet sites in China). Slingbox is a big broadband hog. Slingbox is still much better than nothing and I am sure it works extremely well in countries with good internet speed.

TF all you're missing is the daily drug scandal. A real shame for the sport, lets hope it gets cleaned up eventually. Really surprised and disappointed in Vinokirov. Oh well, Bike to the Bay is still clean. TOB

Can it get any worse with the leader of the race being ejected by his own team after winning the last mountain stage and in great position to win the race. I mean really what is the difference between being in Italy or Mexico (must be the team cares when you lie to them).
