Note: Here is what I had time to translate from Tiger’s Blog. If you go the link, you can see all the photos he posted with the entries.
From p58 You can paste the chinese into translate.google.com if you are interested. Tiger talks about The Reloaded shoot in here, Keanu and Symes and the bad energy in the apt in CA when he was there for some of the training. He also says that they were invited to the resort on that break (it sounds like the one that Keanu held for all his friends. The master didn’t want to go and told Tiger not to go either so he said the master was sick and he needed to stay with him. Interesting passage. I’m starting to think Tiger’s book came from these pages. Part matches up well with what is on the front page.
P23 3-20-7 He spent his birthday in LA working on the script with Keanu. He said a married beautiful woman working in Hollywood sent a birthday cake. This is also were we get the look at the black naked ladies on red.
p 8 entry is 10-26-07 This is in the time frame for the trip to China that included the FormulaOne race. Janey was with him. Throughout these passages, Tiger refers to Keanu as ‘the talk of the town’ or ‘Old Lee’. In a nutshell they went from Shanghai to Chengdu. Keanu was recognized on the plane and everyone wanted photos with him. Also as soon as he was recognized they moved him to the front of the cabin. He slept through the flight and no one wanted to disturb him. Tiger and the rest tried to rush him out of the plane to try to avoid the fans but that didn’t work out. At one point Tiger yelled at people and Keanu said let them have their photos.
Once they were out of the airport, the talk of the town was given flowers and it pleased him very much and everyone else in the group was happy because he was. When they got to the hotel, Janey and the female assistants went to their rooms because they were tired. Tiger, Big Star(producer uncle – I don’t know if this means the producer is related to tiger ot it is just an expression), Tiger’s brother and the talk of the town went drinking at the bar across the street on Jinjiang River. It was cold that day and it felt good to drink a little wine. It was easy to find the tavern to sit and order barbeque, Erguotou and a few bottles of beer. Sichuan food is famous for being spicy but the talk of the town seemed to enjoy the spicy food. Usually small restaurants are not particularly good but the food tasted good. They forgot the time while they were drinking and talking and it was almost four before they returned to the hotel.
The next day, Tiger was still drowsy from sleep when the producer called to say that the talk of the town had a cold. Anxious, Tiger got up, bought a lot of cold medicine and brought it over to the hotel. The talk of the town said he didn’t like to take medicine and turned it down. While he didn’t feel good, the talk of the town went out to eat with everyone to taste the Yibin burning surface and Qing Shiqiao broth powder. The talk of the town liked both and returned to the hotel afterwards to sleep.
The third day of Old Lee’s cold, the four of them went to Wenshu for tea. The environment was very elegant and the talk of the town and Janey like it. It appears that the Chef came to the table and talk of the town enjoyed that. Next to them there was a foreigner who took many photos with a cell phonebut he wasn’t really aware of who he was taking photos of. Tiger invited the talk of the town over to his house for dinner that night. The parents had anticipated the arrival of the good brother and had spent several days preparing the meal. In addition to his family, Tiger also invited some of his friends. It was a most happy night for Tiger’s mother because the talk of the town bought a bouquet of flowers for her in the town. When Tiger’s mother came to the door, the talk of the town gave her the flowers and she was speechless to see the legend Old Lee in front of her.
After dinner Tiger talked with the talk of the town and looked at family photos. He took the talk of the town back to the hotel and didn’t stay. They were starting a trip to Hailuogou so the talk of the town need to rest and recharge his batteries since the trip was expected to be hard.
The Schicuan media was now aware that the talk of the town was there in Chengdu and were calling Tiger so he shut his cell off. They set off to Hailuogou and were delayed by an accident on the road. To make up for lost time, apparently they were speeding on the mountain road.
p7 3-30-08 Tiger is back in LA for another meeting with Keanu for Man of Tai Chi. These photos were taken at Keanu’s house. He talks about Keanu’s new mansion. The photo from 2007 with the black naked ladies was taken while his house was being remodeled. While we don’t know for sure, we think he was staying in Kim’s former house.

p3 8-11-10 Keanu is back in China for more Man of Tai Chi meetings.
