Eurovision2008 in Belgrade

But it doesn't mean I went to Belgrade, I just watched this on TV with friends.

This is a music competition, among the delegate of each country in Europe! (Like European Championship football etc!?)

However, the delegate are not really the top artist from each country, and also due to voting system, number of immigrant in that country is very influential etc.
European people doesn't consider it is not really fare and serious competition.
(e.g. it is somehow funny always Germany gives high points to Turkey, because there's very many Turkish immigrant in Germany and they vote to their home country...)

Especially to see, which country give a high points to which country,
gives a lot of insights about relationship between countries and very interesting...

by the way, Why don't we have a ”AsiaVision” in asian countries. Thus it might be fun to have such a kind of things. I think at least area of FarEastAsia and SouthEastAsia, we have a lot of things we can share.

Honestly, I think this is the effect of "European Union" to make people feel, they are European.
Nowadays border and mentality among European countries are getting lower and lower.
Whereas in this aspect of globalization, I feel Japan is far behind from Europe...
