★★★★ · Coot with a Cam · Bill T. · 2010-12-03

The unknown couple return, (I've seen Part 3 thus far) and we meet them as they are on a cruise ship heading towards Hawaii. Oh my! Those ships sure swayed, didn't they? (I'm looking at the pool footage). They cruise to Hawaii, and we see some great footage of the island, and from there we go to (I'm assuming) pre-war Japan (Note the US flags!) That must have been a LONG cruise. A lot more women in geisha wear. The filmmakers are amused by this, by the excessively long shots of the women walking around trying to ignore the coot with the camera. There, we go to China! Lots of interesting stuff…
