Boracay - bamboo stick dancing





I wrote this some time ago but the video did not want to show up.  I still have not worked out why, so I will post it as is and hope that eventually I can work it out!


On our last night in Boracay we went to Friday's where we celebrated Christmas together (somewhat late, but fun!)  We had a buffet meal with amazing choices, but it was the entertainment that was superb.  There was a guitar-playing singer, and some traditional dancing.  Then the bamboo dancing that I will upload for you to watch.  I have seen this sort of dancing in other cultures and I know how skilled the dancers must be to not get their ankles smashed to pieces. 


Although I started this post yesterday morning, huge events have been at the forefront today in terms of the 6.3 earthquake in Christchurch, and my heartfelt thoughts and sadness to everyone affected by this tragedy.  This day will be a black one in NZ history.
