The last week

This is the last week in Hanoi. Helena left today (due to obligations in Sweden) and her departure reminded us that it is very little time left to do all the things we have planned to do. There are a few more interviews that I need to do, and I need to get one of the interviews translated. Today me and my teacher talked about microtonality and the way it is taught in the Academy and in the Chéo theatre. He also let me know how he feel about the notation of Chéo music... at least that is what I hope. Since I don't understand a word of Vietnamese, and he doesn't understand English, it is hard for me to tell what we really talked about. Tomorrow I will hopefully get a translation from another teacher.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed...
