I had tried out a model like it before, but as I was not yet 24 driving in this city, my wife did not want me to collect it 25 so we went together to 26 it. We paid for the car and 27 the papers.

In February 2006, I flew into Beijing from Shanghai to watch a performance by Iceland’s Bjork and to interview her.

Some people find it difficult to 36 Bjork’s music. Her sound is an acquired taste, but

37 you get into it, you’re hooked. After the 38 press conference, I was 39 to a room where we did a one-on-one 40 for radio. I was surprised at how intelligent and pleasant she was. And fun.

The 41 at Worker’s Stadium was unbelievably wonderful. Barefoot for most of the show, Bjork 42 the audience’s interest with her music and her spirit.

48 around the world, she jumped on and attacked a female reporter at the Bangkok airport who 49 said, “Welcome to Thailand!”

She’s 52 a new album, Volta. She challenges us to enter her own world with every album, and this one is no 53 .

Working with a variety of producers, including Timbaland, she takes us into her music again with an artistic 54 . It is 55 to digest, but if you can appreciate her unusual efforts, you will have a lot to get into.
