I get Kenny G inflicted on me in many elevators and hotel lobbies, there must be a better place for him and his sax.

If you want cute come to China. It is going through a phase I saw when I lived in Japan where Hello Bloody Kitty is de rigeur for girls from 12-25.

And as for Chinese pop music it is saccharine sweet and the boy-girl band phenomena has hit the music scene (such as it is) here in a big way. Even the rock bands are pretty insipid as they cannot use lyrics that might inflame social tensions or refer to the poorer side of China's glorious leadership.

At least the Sichuan and Hunnan food is defeinately not insipid.
