Vietnamese traditional toy: To He
Vietnamese traditional toy: To He
These simple toys still give children immense joy during the Mid-Autumn season.
The recipe for success in making it lies in the preparation of the dough. The craftsman first grinds rice into fine powder, then pours water into the powder and mixes it until he achieves a sticky lump. He places the lump in a pot of water, brings the water to a boil, and cooks the paste for an hour. When the lump rises to the water’s surface, dips, and rises again, the craftsman removes it from the pot. Then he applies seven colours: white. black, green, yellow, violet, pink, and red. Miraculously, the different colours never stain one another when he assembles the parts of a to lie figurine.
Many generations of Vietnamese children have been overjoyed when their mothers return from market with a To he. Children can even eat to he after playing with them. Each craftsman embarking on the to he trade learns to humour customers, especially children. The lesson of humanity is the first bears in mind. “If we love people, they will surely come to us,” to he makers say.
Making To he doesn’t bring much profit. The materials rice paste, bamboo-stick holders, colourings – are inexpensive and locally available. A craftsman only charges customers for his patience and care. A To he in a rural market costs between VND 500 and VND 1.000 (US$.03 -$.07). Makers who travel farther field to the larger cities can sell a To he for between VND 2.000 to VND 3.000 (US$.13 – $.20).
Customers can place their orders, watch the craftsman mould the toy, and be pleased with the results in minutes. A To he can depict a person, a famous general, a folk-tale character, an animal, or a flower. The makers remember the characteristics of every subject. They are experts in using exactly the right amount of paste to form each separate part of each kind of toy as if these skills were an inborn talent.

Vietnamese folk game: Boat racing
From time immemorial, boat racing has appeared in Vietnam. It is not only a competition but also a ritual in honour of the Water God, stemming from the act of praying for water among agriculture-based people. For fishermen boat racing conveys their wishes for bumper fish catches. In other places, boat racing is held to honour general who were good at navy operation.

Flying kite -Traditional folk games of Vietnamese
Children of Vietnam often flying kite, the most important factor of a good kite is the quality of the bamboo frame.
“The frame should be made from old bamboo plants. They never use bamboo grown by a river, lake or pond, because the water can soften the bamboo’s texture. It’s ideal to chop the bamboo during the dry season in the eight or ninth lunar month because the texture is more durable during that time,”

4.Bamboo jacks (Choi Chuyen)
One of the “girls’ games” which challenge the dexterity and quickness of the hands to catch the right number of the bamboo sticks from 2 up to 10 between each toss of a ball (a fig was used a lot but now tennis ball is more convenient) into the air. Players often recite a singsong nonsense rhyme: “Cai mot… Cai mai… Cai co… So mang… Thang chang… Con chit… Ngam nga… Ngam nguyt… Chuot chit… Sang ban doi…” during the play.
In the first round, the player picks up the slicks one by one. Next, she gathers two sticks at a time, and so forth up to ten. In these stages she plays with only one hand. The girl picks up sticks and catches the ball while reciting the rhyme. The peak of the game is the last, most animated stage with all ten sticks in a bundle. During this stage, the player losses the ball and then transfers (chuyen) the pack of sticks from one hand to the other. She must successively switch the bundle, first once, then twice, then three or even more times before catching the ball.

3. Cat and Mouse Game (Meo Duoi Chuot)
This is another group game that requires from seven to ten players. Beside two players chosen as cat and mouse, the others stand in circle, hold hands and raise their hands above head. Game starts by singing this song:
“Please come over here
Hand in hand
Stand in a large circle
The mouse will run through the hole
The cat will run after it
The mouse tries to run as fast as possible
But it can’t escape
Then the mouse will act as the cat and chase the cat, which is now the mouse”
The cat and the mouse stand inside the circle, backs against each other. The mouse starts to run once the song starts, and then the cat will chase the mouse. However, the cat must run in exactly the same route and manner as the mouse. The cat wins the game when it catches the mouse. Then the two exchange roles. If the cat runs into the wrong hole, it will be dismissed from that round.
If the cat fails to catch the mouse in a certain period of time, the two will exchange role with each other. The game will then continue.

Strange festival in Bac Ninh,Vietnam
Strange festival in Bac Ninh,Vietnam
If you are familiar with Vietnamese Lunar New Year or Mid-Autumn Festival, Strange festival in Vietnam is quite new and unique to those who first visit Vietnam. Celebrated in spring time.
I had such a great time when witnessing old villagers and festival-goers demonstrated processions and incense offerings. Especially, I strong recommend taking part in a wide range of traditional games and activities encompassing folk games and ancient singing performances. Actually, I was totally mesmerized by all the exciting things here and dream participating in this amazing traditional festival one more time.
Happy traveling!

Let it go - Teagan sings the whole song
Let it go - Teagan sings the whole song
The snow glows white on the mountain tonight
Not a footprint to be seen
A kingdom of isolation,
And it looks like I'm the queen.
The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside
Couldn't keep it in, heaven knows I tried!
Don't let them in, don't let them see
Be the good girl you always have to be
Conceal, don't feel, don't let them know
Well, now they know!
Let it go, let it go
Can't hold it back anymore
Let it go, let it go
Turn away and slam the door!
I don't care
What they're going to say
Let the storm rage on,
The cold never bothered me anyway!
It's funny how some distance
Makes everything seem small
And the fears that once controlled me
Can't get to me at all!
It's time to see what I can do
To test the limits and break through
No right, no wrong, no rules for me I'm free
Let it go, let it go
I am one with the wind and sky
Let it go, let it go
You'll never see me cry!
Here I stand
And here I'll stay
Let the storm rage on!
My power flurries through the air into the ground
My soul is spiraling in frozen fractals all around
And one thought crystallizes like an icy blast
I'm never going back,
The past is in the past!
Let it go, let it go
And I'll rise like the break of dawn
Let it go, let it go
That perfect girl is gone!
Here I stand
In the light of day
Let the storm rage on,
The cold never bothered me anyway!

Most people started growing Bonsai after buying a tree in an shop. Though this is without doubt a nice way to get started, it might be more interesting (and less expensive) to learn how to grow and style a natural tree yourself.
