What did you do on New Year's Eve?
I don't usually wear a skirt in public. I do this in the privacy of my apartment. But last night I decided to throw caution to the winds, donned my colourful skirt, and made my way to the little party that friends had organised.
I settled down in a comfy chair and without a second thought, I pressed my lips against the small brown orifice that hovered close to my mouth. I tentatively stuck my tongue in a little and blew softy, being rewarded with a little squeal.
Encouraged by this, I sucked greedily on the orifice, producing a much louder squeal. My friends watched in amazement as I gently wrapped by hands around the 'instrument' and proceeded to blow and suck continuously - the response was very satisfying.
(That's a library photo of a Khaen player in traditional Longyi 'skirt' - not actually me)
So a good time was had by all at this Lao/Burmese party, and my playing of the Khaen went down very well.
Perhaps next time I could wear some suspenders with my longyi as well??
