| Jörg was on China Central Television! | |||
Practice,
practice!. |
It's true!, Jörg was one of the stars of the CCTV 4 show called, "Foreign Friends talk in Chinese". Since Jörg's University was being featured, he got to be in one of the plays. In this play, he portrayed a business man from Canton who drinks a potion and loses his memory. | ||
| Staring in the play with Jörg was Valero, and Indre. Valero is from Russia and Indre is from Germany. The Chinese people heard Valero speak Chinese in another kind of a play, a sort of stand up comedy, and they didn't want him to perform it, because his Chinese was too good. | ![]() Jörg gets his make up on |

And
the action starts... |
Just before they filmed the show, they had a live dry run of the whole show on stage in front of a live audience. This was in Jinan, the capitol city of Shandong province. The theater was packed! When the people from CCTV saw the show, they wanted to tape it and broadcast it over all of China. | ||
| When the show was broadcast, we had a little party with some of our friends. It was fun to see friends on TV and laugh about the little mistakes that were made. The editors that cut the show were awful! I could have done a hack job like they did, all by myself without training! So, this was a nice shining moment for Jörg. He even got fan mail! |

That's right, Jörg got fan mail from a girl who lives in
GuangZhou. She looked at all the names that scrolled by at the end
of the show and randomly picked Jörg's name. At least that's what
she says. I think it's just because she was too shy to say that
Jörg's stage presence had her riveted.
