China's National Day is the 1st of October, and last year the celebration involved releasing 100,000 pigeons in Tiananmen Square. They all fly up and fly around, and it's very beautiful.

Other times Tiananmen Square came up
Just a fact for Dan about that. The Simpsons. They have an episode where they go to China and in the middle of it, there is a picture on Tiananmen Square. It says Tiananmen Square on this site in 1989, Nothing Happened, which is obviously about the fact that references to it are banned in China. Then Disney decided to omit that episode of The Simpsons so you can't watch that in China anyway. Really?

No, not Hitler clothes. We were only in Sydney last year. Who do you think you are? Prince Harry. When I did a trip back to China when I was 18, I bought in Tiananmen Square. one of those Mao communist hats. Jesus Christ, Dan, that is a whole combination of bad things that you shouldn't have done. I know. This is what's worse. I went canvassing for the Labour Party just before I left the country to move here, and it was a really hot day and I only had one hat.
