That was amazing. I respect the amount of practice and training it takes to do shows like that.

It's a truly different culture. The only way Hollywood would produce this today is animation.

On a similar note, I have to admit that the North Korean stadium placard art (not sure what to call it) is also a marvel of choreography. Not that I want to praise NK politics, just the people are still talented regardless of the other crap.

China is a rich culture. They've led the world in many things.

And yet somehow mysteriously never learned to eat with silverware. An enduring mystery.

Not only that, but the slide rule totally kicks butt compared to the abacus.

Is silverware what makes one a connoisseur of fine cuisine?

Eat some noodle soup and you'll see how useless silverware is

This video is just plain creepy. I thought it was going to be deft children's hands assembling products for US consumption.

The need to "butcher" ones meal at the table is a step below one whose meal is "ready to eat"

Definitely one of those shows where paying for front row (or near front row), center is worth it. While still interesting to watch, it does lose something when viewed from the side or from above.

Bleh. Only barbarians butcher their food at the table.
