Asia Goes Ga-Ga for The Secretary – And We Have Videos Galore!

By SusanUnPC on February 20, 2009 at 6:00 AM in China, Indonesia, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, State Department

p2130755 Hillary is a SMASHING HIT in Indonesia, as you will see in the videos below. One of the highlights of her visit was her appearance on the most popular television show in Indonesia (there are some great quotes below the fold!) where she bravely tried to pronounce the complex language, sing a little, and even answered a question about her own favorite music.

But first, I must share with you some fun news from China via a longtime friend of mine, Lisa, who has a great blog, The Paper Tiger. Lisa reports, “Hillary seems to be popular here – I’ve seen (positive) biographies and a couple posters of her (can’t remember what those were for).” Because of her father’s profession, Lisa spent childhood years in China and remains fascinated by the country. In Los Angeles, she rose early every Saturday to take Chinese language courses at UCLA, and she makes frequent visits to practice her Chinese and to see the many friends she’s made. On one recent tour, she espied this sign in a Kunming women’s bathroom [PHOTO LEFT] — FLUSH!!!. NOW, CNN’s REPORT on HILLARY IN CHINA:

“There is so much excitement in the air here,” she told an enthusiastic studio audience on the MTV-style “Dahsyat” show, which translates in English to “Awesome.” She said she had just spoken with Obama who wished them all well, drawing cheers.

Much of her appearance was lighthearted banter about her favorite music — the Beatles and Rolling Stones — and her poor singing abilities, but she also made clear that Washington wants to address Muslim concerns about U.S. policy in the Middle East and elsewhere.
