What can we do with all these bamboo?!

prices of bamboo has gone up too...maybe we'll just stockpile them
...or make Peking goose with bamboo shoots

Lovely bamboo! My pandas want some.

If you ever decide to do Filipino custom clickies, you could use the bamboo in Filipino national dance called "Tinikling" where the bamboo are clicked together in a waltz beat as nimble dancers utilize precise timing to step in-between the clicks while dancing without getting their ankles caught (sort of like a gauntlett):



The more daring versions of this dance utilize long sharp blades instead of bamboo.

I've seen that kind of dancing before, and it looks like so much fun!!! Really cool. I bet it would hurt to get your ankle caught, though!

Hmm, I've never seen green bamboo before

Perhaps its only green in China

it's green when it's still alive

[flatcat]

That's interesting, because all our bamboos in this country grow either brown or black

I guess they are special cultivars grown for the climate in this country

If you can get more bamboo, then you can make a construction scene with bamboo scaffolding.

Did you know that bamboo is a grass?
