TV in Turkey
We really do get a few good TV shows here in Turkey. Some popular shows in America right now (24, Grey's Anatomy, House, Desperate Housewives) are broadcast here, but usually we are one or two seasons behind. We also get quite a few British shows which we would never watch if we were in America, but we have grown to like a few of them after two years. One of them, Strictly Come Dancing, is almost identical to the American show Dancing with the Stars - but, it came first. Even some of the judges are the same (I watched about 10 minutes of Dancing with the Stars while we were in the states in October). We don't know any of the celebrities, but I still enjoy watching it. Jeff usually doesn't pay much attention to it, but he'll sit through it just for me!We're sure that most of you in America watched at least part of a football game today, and more likely than that, you watched football all day! Well, unfortunately we don't get too much football over here, but we keep checking the sports stations just in case! Today, we came across The Viking Obstacle. It is a Korean obstacle course competition and is really funny to watch. Apparently, no one has ever won the entire competition (there are four stages), so it must be pretty hard. One funny thing about it is right in the middle of many grueling physical challenges, there is a fourth grade math problem that the competitors must solve (i.e., 74+23=?) in order to proceed. If they answer the question wrong (which we actually saw men do!) they are dropped into a pool of water through a trap door in the floor. Quite amusing!
