On Sunday night, it was a full moon. On the night of the full moon, the old quarter of hoi an bans motorbikes and sets up a festival of lanterns, games, and traditional performances. It's really gorgeous and so peaceful to not have motorbikes whizzing around!
We started at a game where everyone draws a paddle which is essentially a bingo card and sits in a circle. In the center of the circle is a pot with sticks that have words written on them. There are two singers who draw a stick. They then must sing a song and end each verse with the word that they've drawn. If that word is on your card, then you get a flag. The person with the most number of flags wins. In our game, Bon won! It was the first time he had won anything!
The next game is sort of a pinata. You put on a mask and have one chance to strike a hanging pot. It was really difficult.....I didn't see anyone even come close.
There was also a martial arts demonstration from a local school which was really cute. The last one we saw, the instructor called up a chubby little boy to demonstrate.......seriously cute!
