It's good to try and picture where our NTSMS membership is based - I hope I'm finding the right places!
Yes, I think you found them right. Dalian is a very beautiful city, good place for touring on the peninsula. Henan is almost in the centre of China, to the southwest of Dalian across the water.
Anyway, sorry to get side-tracked onto football...
Why sorry? That's all right. Just for fun! European Championships, of course, I will watch TV if not very busy.
I am also curious to know how accessible is Therion & metal in China? What other metal bands do you like?
There are many metal bands I like besides Therion, such as Nightwish, Within Temptation, Rammstein, Linkin Park, Guns N' Roses, and so on.
As to the question you asked how accessible Therion and metal are in China, hahaaaa,
it is a little difficult to answer you. Well, make it simple. Let's talk about Therion first. Honestly speaking, Therion is not very popular in China. That's not because the people don't like it at all, but only a few know Therion, most people even don't know there is such a great band! So, this is the point. About metal music, the point is not whether how accessible this kind of music is. You know, Chinese people don't incline to refuse everything, and they are easily curious about things unknown or new. Then if they have an interest or feel it worth their energy, they will be very glad to accept it. The same way they face metal music, if they find the cultural background of some band's music is interesting and the melody is great, this band will be welcomed. For example, Nightwish is a splendid success in China. The band is well loved by youngsters and adults although it is a foreign band and its songs are sung in English. Actually, there are many internet forums like NTSMS in China talking about kinds of metal music!
