hi all
Madagascar : country of tops (..°)
the man I met :
I was in the metro back to my place and
I offer to help him in the stairs with his suitcase....
he seemed out of breath ...once outside I ask him where he was headed
and we start to talk in a café ...
like often, I ask what is the name for a yoyo in your country
answer yoyo (jojo)
same question for kite ,answer cerf volant or volantine
same Q for toupie
tandrimo
then he starts to tell me that he played in Tananarive in the 60 ties , when he was 12,and explained that he made the tops himself
by wrapping around a long nail , a plastic bag with glue
I left him at he bus stop to Orly
great encounter
jim
