Yeah. One *very* big clue in the clip, all those 音符 aside.

Arrrggg. The Nanny blocked Youtube got blocked last weekend. Ridiculous, but there you have it. Apparently because of the 17th Party Congress.

"Locals know where to go and where not to go for good deals and cheap beer. It's the tourists that generally don't know any better." I find it curious that (in Beijng at least) Budweiser's almost always the most expensive beer in a local bar, yet I've never known anyone foreign to actually order it. My guess is that either rich locals are buying it or no-one is.

I'm pretty sure they were speaking Cantonese in Temple of Doom, which is pretty strange since the scene was supposed to be set in Shanghai. It's still a Chinese dialect though. Go Indy! And congrats, Danjo!

Amber has all of the correct guesses, so we'll have to wait until tomorrow morning to find out who won. In the meantime, the answer to this week's mystery film isRaiders of the Lost Ark (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082971/). Tough clip for anyone who didn't pick up on the "Dr. Jones" right at the beginning. The scene in the clip is the conversation between Indy and Belloq about 4 minutes into the film, when Belloq (the bad Indy?) steals the golden idol from Harrison Ford's character: a pretty 大 亏 all things considered.

Actually, she keeps it a secret from those of us in the office as well. I find it's always good to guess on the young side though.

Not sure what the origin is, but it's just "AA" Mike.
