That was beautiful! Combining Olympic sports maneuvers with something so Chinese as the Monkey King was genius, and the artwork was fantastic too. I doubt China could do any better than that commercial.

Actually, boycotts are TREMENDOUSLY effective, but that's hardly in the spirit of the games is it? Heck, there was an Olympics in Nazi Germany... not a very good one, but ONE nonetheless.

I recommend to google about russian early 20th century photographer Sergey Prokudin-Gorsky. Most of his color photos are dated at the same time as Albert Kahn's. Really amazing as well.

The past still exists somehow with such pictures.
Eery. I would want to immerse in these, just endlessly looking around and wondering about these people and those places so long ago.

When I was a child I just could not imagine that in the time before my own appearance let alone so long ago in the world there also was colour. The Past was Black and White- Only the Present had colour and the colours faded away with time.

Just amazing. Wow.
