Cross talk: There's too much TV coverage of the American elections, even in China.

YES

One of the keys to surviving Beijing is patience but I'm sick and tired of hearing so much news about the American elections. I don't care because they don't have anything to do with me. But that doesn't stop my American friends from talking non-stop about it.

"Hey guys," I say. "I'm Australian, I don't pay US taxes. I'm actually more interested in the price of eggs in Poland."
