| sports fans. The guys from the cultural center came today to view the tree and drop off the paperwork.
I will be the first westerner to show a tree in the Tet Holiday display in Vietnam. They know of no other in any city, town or village...ever. The good Commies in the local society are pissed beyond belief but can't do anything to stop it!!!! I love it!!! Bob |

| Congratulations! I hope there is not any discrimination and your trees are given the respect they deserve. Perhaps they will learn to put their preconceived notions about westerners aside. Yeah, I don't really expect it but maybe. Good luck! |

| The discrimination was the local Bonsai Association trying to keep me from showing the tree. It's been accepted by the guys at the Ministry of Culture so there's nothing they can do now except look at it. Also... This little display thing has snowballed into something which could be fun in the end. I always loved doing a demo and to have a westerner be the first ever to do one here is sort of a thrill. Bob Oh...and I'm buying the demo tree so I get to keep it too. |

| No world tour Ha Ha, I've done my share of demos and classes/workshops. I did really offer the demo as a joke, really didn't think they would go for it mostly because of the problems I had just getting to show the tree. I will take pics of the display here for Tet, it's a nice one. Bob |
