I like that they bring both from Korea and Northern Cyprus. I would like to see how they combine their choreography with ours from Romania. The bazaar of handicrafts, especially woodcarvings and weavings, is what I never miss at such festivals.

It’s a pity that we won’t get to Buzau, but it’s interesting that Koreans and Latvians will dance together with Romanians. It’s especially interesting to look at their costumes next to ours. And at the fair it’s always nice to touch real ceramics and embroidery with your hands, it’s true.

Kostas, I agree about Korea and Northern Cyprus, it will be interesting to see how they fit into Romanian rhythms. I always look first for the textiles and wood carvings at the bazaar, last year I got a small wooden box from Slovakia that I still have on my bedside table. Are you also going to Rimnikou Sarat?
