Disappearing DVDs...
I had better not say anything incriminating, but everyone knows there is a healthy market for cheap DVDs in China, and in many other countries in this part of the world. It's quite easy to get a DVD soon after the movie is released in theatres (though of varying quality, sometimes with someone's head as they get up for more popcorn). Anyway, a few days ago all the cheap DVDs were cleared out of a shop that I have visited on occasion. Apparently this happens from time to time as the police do their job, but in a week or two the DVDs should be back and members of the police force, not in uniform of course, will be back buying DVDs with the rest of us.
