| Sichuan Earthquake Aid Dropped by Helicopter - 38 sec
I'm thinking that none of these supplies are likely to survive the impact. China's response has been strong, but I found this clip darkly humorous and evident perhaps of a lack of expertise in humanitarian operations.

| These Kids are Beasts! - 60 sec
A short video showing the typical classroom behavior of a group of young Tibetan kids. I volunteered to teach this bunch in a small village in Qinghai during Spring Festival break in early 2008. It's really just the boys who are beasts, as the girls mostly sit shyly in their seats. Even when a Tibetan adult starts to yell at them in the end, their behavior barely changes.

| New Jersey's Slowest Gas Pump - 32 sec
A friend told me that gas is pumped slower these days so that the price rises at the same speed as always. I didn't believe him until I stopped at a Lukoil station at the northernmost rest stop on the Garden State Parkway. I was pumping gas for almost 15 minutes!
(You may want to turn off the sound... it's only wind battering my phone's mic.)

| The Kashgar Experience - 463 sec
Music video for Wushur Kari's song entitled "Ziyarat", in which the singer returns to Kashgar and visits many of the city's top sites. Particularly interesting are the scenes at the beginning and end of the video in the square around Id Kah Mosque. The last two minutes of the video particularly capture the mood of Kashgar.
