saiyuki (AKA Journey To The West) is a asian legend about a young buddhist monk who travels from China to the west (India) to get the original scrolls of the teachings of Buddha. A big part of the story is about Son Goku the monkey king (which is the most popular character in asia) who causes quite a ruckus in heaven and is instead sent by the gods to help the priest. along with some other motley characters they meet along the way. it is probrably the most beautiful story ever told!! and is the inspiration for many stories, anime, and characters. for instance Dragon Ball and the anime Saiyuki. if you ever get the chance to read it, you totally should. Look it up! =) oh and this video is from a CD which is in turn based on a chinese opera of Saiyuki.
