hey Jay and Ryanne
I just watched your video bout Beijing in Boing Žn Tv
you look worried and scared...heheh you guys are really brave to do that...
but first of all thanks you are safe and back home...
I have lived in China for more than 8 years and I know the way it works and
believe me
I would never do what you did... and thanks that they were in the Olympics if
not other
things would have happened to those protesters...
I was under arrest a couple of times for using my videocameras in different
cities while
traveling and was filmming something that I was not supposed to...and got
free...thanks
that I probed I was not doing anything wrong against the policies and rules of
China and..
that I was not "American" (they tend to think that americans or foreigners are
spies),,,thanks I could probe I am SouthAmerican...
"We should respect our hosts ... I mean if I go to your house and start
criticizing the way
you decorate your house ...what you eat...the way you behave in your own
house...your
rules ....and worse...I try to change it ...I dont think you would welcome me
next time I
wanna drop by your place..."
anyway
welcome back
PD: one question ??
would you dare to go back to China and do it again ??
;0)~

"Last week, eight American citizens were detained in Beijing for
participating in pro-Tibetan sovereignty protests near the site of
the 2008 Olympics, with Students for a Free Tibet. Two videobloggers
who documented those protest and guerrilla art installations evaded
detention, and spoke to Boing Boing TV on Friday Beijing time about
why they were there, what they witnessed, and why it mattered.
"Jay Dedman and Ryanne Hodson of Ryanishungry. com spoke to us over
Skype from a hostel in Beijing. One of the actions they documented in
photo and video was the hanging of an "LED throwies" light banner,
below, which read "FREE TIBET." We agreed to hold this Boing Boing tv
episode until after we received word that they'd safely left the
country. They have returned home, so I am posting the piece today."
