Just when I thought it wasn't going to go well, I have an interview for this gig in Beijing...

[HEyHEY]

Sadly, I won't be GOING to Beijing for it. Anyway, though I never pictured myself living in a communist capital, I really am hoping this happens. They've been a bit pushy about me not having a degree though, which is funny cause none of the North American media has been and I get work here. Plus, as a friend said, an Oncologist in China shines shoes at bus stations here, so I don't get from where the attitude comes.

But, I'm kinda nervous, I have no idea what they are going to ask me.

1. the attitude comes from respect for education which is rather big in the east

2. They'll ask you how you'd report on the shopping bag guy in Tienanmen Square.

4. Dude, maybe you can swing your way into Pyongyang if you play your cards right!

6. That is a goal, yes.

I will certainly be trying hard to do that. You CAN do escorted tours there now. Other reporters have been in there already, so I, sadly, won't be a first. I'm still wanting to go though.

7. Pheew, just had the interview

I don't know what to think. He said positive things about my chances but then threw in senior management will make the call.
