Silver Bells

I had more training this past week in Shanghai.  The hotel we stayed in was very nice, and very accustomed to Westerners.  Almost everyone spoke English, but was glad to hear some Chinese if I would use it.  Unlike the last place, there was no "welcome to Mexican" experience.  However, while waiting for the elevator one morning, I noticed the lobby  music was a saxaphone piece.  The saxaphonist was playing silver bells, the Christmas song.  Obviously, someone in the hotel staff had found a western saxaphone CD, and was playing it on repeat.  I heard "silver bells", "white Christmas", and a few others.  I told this to my Chinese colleagues, hoping to get a good laugh, and they just looked at me like I was crazy.  Oh well, the only problem with the whole thing is that I still have "silver bells" stuck in my head…
