They really do look old, even if they’re not. Thanks for the blog visit!
Yes, I like that they make them look just like old ones. You have a nice blog, Sharon!
the puppets are really interesting.
Yes, I thought so!
Very interesting – I’ve never seen anything like these.

They put them on sticks and have them act out scenes over the water, as in a flooded rice field. It’s an old tradition in Vietnam, but now mostly just for tourists.
