The China daily reports:
A replica of a ship that carried Japanese envoys to China during the 7th to 9th centuries makes its debut at the Expo garden in Shanghai after more than one month of sailing to highlight exchanges between China and Japan in ancient times.
The life-size replica of the vessel, with a golden phoenix design adorning its bow, is 33.6 m long and 9.2 m wide, featuring Japanese patterns and classic Japanese architecture. The original ship, also known as "Kentoshi" in Japan, sent more than 10 groups of envoys to China to learn about Chinese culture during the Tang Dynasty (618-907).
The replica ship started its journey on May 8 from Osaka, the port from where envoys in ancient Japan started the journey to China. The cruise followed the same route, passing by seven ports in Japan including Hakata and Nagasaki before arriving in Shanghai on June 11.

2010-3-9: Update Brought to you by Oceanic Preservation Society

"We are so very honored that The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has awarded The Cove with the 2009 Oscar® for Best Documentary Feature!

Director Louie Psihoyos and Producer Fisher Stevens accepted the Academy Award® onstage at the Kodak Theater on Sunday night, accompanied by Producer Paula Dupré Pesmen and Ric O'Barry.

The Oscar® is the utmost honor within the film industry, and the biggest exposure for our cause that we could ever hope for.

We recorded a special Oscar® acceptance speech with Louie Psihoyos that you can watch here. Also watch his additional thank you message for all of our supporters."

[Ed note: Shouldn't that be "O$ca®": None the less, congrats to the team at the Oceanic Preservation Society. Hope the message gets through.]
