Big Bird in Japan!!!


#1. Did anybody see the goof in this video? When Barkley sniffs the hand-cart, he has the sand-glass around his neck NINETEEN minutes before Xiao Foo places it around his neck. How do I submit the goof?


#2. Does that Tai-Chi have another name? Or is it "Tai-Chi with wooden swords"?


#3. What are the children playing? The game with the string around their legs? What is name & the aim of the game?


#4. Now to review the Chinese words: "Feng Huang" is "Vermillion Pheonix" ; "Zai Jian" is "Goodbye" ; "Da" is "Big" ; "Ni How" is "Hello" ; "Wo Ai Ni" is "I Love You" ; "Da Niao" is "Big Bird"


#5. Last: a review of the places & clues: #1. At the Great Wall of China - "The Stone Soldiers stand guard over the Glass Chessboard; while those who would find Feng Huang sail silently among them. #2. At the Camel at the Ming Tombs - "Past the Elephant who would drink the river dry. Past the see-through mountain. #3. The river bridge - "Past the feathers that grow from the river bank. Past the headless water buffalo." #4. Pagoda island - "Near a cave by a waterfall in an ancient Bayan Tree you will find the Empress of the Southern Skies."

Saw "Big Bird in China" many years ago but have never heard of "Big Bird in Japan". However, "Tai Chi" with wooden swords" sounds like the Japanese martial art of Kendo. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kendo

O.K. I looked up Kendo on YouTube, & they were fighting. What I saw on "Big Bird in China" is shown from 5:08 to 6:08 of this clip.

These people weren't fighting. They were moving slowly, as in Tai-Chi, but they were also holding swords.
