Burmese water pot dance with pots I designed and made --

of papier mache, with help of the dancers --

It's taken a year for me to see this, as no one thought to send me a link.

Typical Burmese sang froid and casualness.

Girls promised me one of pots I made as a gift, but haven't got that either.

Anyway, the dancers were skilled and the pots were nice.

It took 3 weeks to make them, of lots of wet newspaper. Three weeks of pots drying in my limited working space.

Well -- at least the pots can never break being made of paper -- hope Burmese democracy is like that too.
