 That's Trouble with a capital T which rhymes with D which stands for Disco Dancing. Sigh.Beijing has banned disco and other dance music in private rooms of nightclubs and karaoke bars. Police hope to curb the flood of illegal drugs into the Chinese capital's entertainment venues. |

| #10 So how are they going to enforce the ban? All the top bureaucrats and business men head immediately for a private room, which is set up for karaoke. Then the girls come in, in groups of ten, in evening gowns, until every guest has picked their own "host-girl" They kneel down in front of you when they serve drinks (a bit embarrassing for a westerner) After that it's bacchanalia. AND that's with Chinese romance songs, let alone Western dance music. After that, it's up to the hotel room upstairs. Everyone (including the girls)meets up for breakfast at 9 the next morning. Ah!! the memories. |

| #2 As an aside, "Everybody Wang Chung tonight" was briefly used as a euphamism for a start of hostilities; along with "Rock the Casbah" in Gulf War I. |
