Help and Chickens

---

So I really need help with this problem. Cam's aunt decided that we were close enough that she could request something from me through Cam. So Cam asked me to get it and I said I would try. Unfortunately this item that was requested does not exist. She is looking for a sweatshirt (preferrably wool) made in the US that says "made in the US". Unless I get someone to make a sweatshirt for me I am not sure about such a thing existing. I have looked on-line, my parents have looked in the stores and I no longer know what to do. I guess I'll just have to figure something out.

So, I found out something in class today that really made me laugh. When one of the two Russian students in our class left this morning he said "Bucka" and I was thinking to myself "that sounds like a chicken's call". You know how we imitate chicken talk by saying "buck, buck, BUCKA!" Well the word he used was the exact same pronunciation of Bucka! Apparently in Russian it means "good-bye". When he said it one of the classmates understood but she also laughed. She's Japanese and apparently in Japanese it means "stupid". I love it when words cross over different languages but mean different things like that. It makes me laugh. Our chicken call is their "bye!"

What does bye mean?
I wonder what "bye" means to either the Chinese or Russians. Is it a word in their language that means something totally different than goodbye?

"Bye" in Chinese
I don't know about Russian since I don't speak it but I do know that in Chinese "bye" means "bye". Only difference is us English speakers usually say it once and the Chinese say "bye bye" but they both refer to "good-bye" not really sure why that is but there are some words that the Chinese took from English.
