We went to our first singsing today! We borrowed some grass skirts from the little museum and got some necklaces and arm bands and leaves and flowers put on us. A singsing is like a big celebration, and the men all play little drums and dance in patterns and sing in their language in the middle, while the women dance around them in a big circle. This wasn’t a real singsing, the village just has a singsing group that goes into town sometimes to perform for tourists or contests to get money. It was fun, but really HOT! I was sweating so much, it was gross, but fun at the same time!
