It's amazing how the cats have managed to train the monks to feed them every time they jump through a hoop.

If we were only to go to countries who's governments had a clear record, we wouldn't go ANYWHERE. I can understand someone traveling in an effort to understand the world and it's people. Where would you suggest people travel to, hmmm?

You know what would be really cool? If at the end of the tourist show they'd get out a really big hoop and hold it up, and from some hallway a young monk would come in running and _he_ would jump through that hoop!
