It’s been almost a week since we started touring North Vietnam (I recommend the tiny one). We ate sitting on the ground in positions from kamasutra, we slept on the ground protected by thin tents, we made beautiful walks between the gardens and the paddies observing peasants bent in two with their children on the back, we climbed 150 steps to watch from above, in Quan Ba, le nui do go tien, the famous two big tits of the fairy (which would be two hills in the shape of a breast in the middle of a beautiful valley)We learned from the stories of our guide how to get married in Vietnam and how funerals work, we saw the great symbol of the Khen, the flute used by men to attract girls. We also played dacau, with painful results.
The most exciting evening, so far, has been in the Chi Avenue, in Quang Pinh, where the women of the country have dedicated a series of ethnic dances of the Common House under the serious gaze of a statue of Ho Chi Minh who, next to a red flag with a hammer and sickle (finally!) didn’t seem to approve. The ladies, all dressed elegantly in black and colored belts demanded that we perform too. It was a painful thing. We sang Bella Ciao, Papavere and ducks, In blue painted blue. I performed in a solo by Ha un bavero that was quite successful. Then all together we sang Vietnam Ho Chi Minh. It was when we saw the statue of the great politician and fighter wavering. We also danced, a terrible thing. Thank goodness the six ladies performed in the peasant gestures dance, a sort of Gioca jouer, God forgive me the approach. And then we went back to Hanoi where Annalia got her phone nicked.
