CD: Bringing Down the Horse by The Wallflowers (what happened to them anyway?)

A british man arrived at my door this afternoon to deliver a "parcel." He said, I've a parcel from China."
I smiled slightly, signed for it, and said cheers.

It was our scripts for the China English Educational videos. It is some seriously funny stuff. And oddly, the English isn't very stellar. It's very informational and silly. I'm going to have trouble not laughing while filming. The first sheet in the package was a little 'Hello' from the director, reproduced here without adjustment:

"Here is he description of your role and suggested wardrobe .

You will play Peter Lang
Peter Lang age 19, height 5' 10" high school boy .
Very good joke, Friend with everyone easy to talk.

Clothes to bring for your consideration:
1. two sets of everyday clothes
2. a set of sportswear
3. a pair of everyday shoes
4. a pair of gym shoes
5. a backpack
Note: everyday clothes such as sweater, T-shirts, jellaba, jean and so on.
(we welcome you to bring the wardrobe that you think is appropriate)

Please feel free to ask any questions.

Best Regards!"

FINALLY, the Chinese acknowledge that I'm very good Joke. After years of playing the Giggle Hut in Xi Pan and Guffaw Palace in Peking, I finally get the recognition I deserve.
and i have no idea what a jellaba is so it's a good thing it's only suggested. and why do they they need ME to bring a set of sportswear. didn't they see my photo?

that's all, just found the letter very funny. i'd post some of the script, but i don't want to get in trouble.

"Be a good boy in china."
