National Day of Mourning


As you may have seen in the news, China has been hit with some very serious rains in some regions. As a result of mud slides and other issues, many people have died or gone missing. The Chinese Government declared Sunday, 8/15 a National Day of Mourning. Interestingly part of the observance of this day of mourning was to shut down all tv stations that were from outside of China. This is a picture of my hotel room TV when I tried to turn on HBO. Even CNN was shut down for the day...
