Life’s full of surprises

Research has shown that young Americans are clueless about where major consumer brands come from. To think that Nokia is Japanese? How pathetic! Only 4.4% of those asked knew that Nokia is from Finland. Come on guys, life is not only “hey dude, check out my new Nokia cell”. Why don’t you take a minute to look at the box before you open it? This way you might learn something. Oh sorry, my mistake; you know perfectly well how many types of coffee there are at Starbucks. That’s something!

And what about this idiot? Would he do this in his country walking down the road to grab a latte from Starbucks? I don’t think so. This event comes in great contrast to the fact that the Americans are the best tourists in the world after the Japanese. Well, life is full of surpises!!

I watched the latest Desperate Housewives episode (season 3, episode 23) the other day…I was so glad to see Bree again after a long absence. What astonishing revelations: at first you think Bree is pregnant but in fact it’s just a pretence. It’s actually her daughter Danielle who is pregnant and who is sent away to a convent until she gives birth to the baby without anyone knowing. Susan is finally happy tying the knot with Mike. On the other hand, Gabrielle’s fairy tale wedding turns out to be a disappointment for her. And although viewers feel for Lynette’s tragedy, it’s the episode’s ending where emotions really reach a climax: Edie’s suicide. How sad! I think the creators of the series have found a successful formula to keep viewers on tenterhooks by creating a strong finale in each episode. Just amazing series!! I can’t wait for the next episode.
