My Roommate Getting Volunteered

She was picked to be the foreign master of ceremonies for a Chinese marketing campaign. Thanks to Doug (our principal who likes to help get us involved in community activities) I got to tag along as moral support.

The following video takes place during a public relations event to sell housing throughout China. Ironically though, the living spaces and developments being sold were called Spain. The owners of the company were apparently trying to create little Spanish villages around the country. I was bemused by the selling tactics - soloists, a fashion show, and a finance lecture. We were told that we were free to leave and eat cake during the lecture, that no one listens anyway. We shrugged and headed to the refreshment table. I don't remember if it was good cake. I only remember the soloist and the accompanying bubbles.
