So... yesterday's courtesan was teaching the public how to correctly bow (men) and curtsy (women)! Only one person 'guessed' but I'm guessing that person knew!
Donc... le courtisan d'hier apprenait au public à faire la révérence ! Seule une personne a "deviné", mot inapproprié puisque la personne savait probablement !

I would never have guessed... and it's so polite we should bring it back pronto.
I love it!! Fun captures the past two days!! Always look forward to your posts, Ciel! Hope your week is going well!
I love this! If I had been there, I would have volunteered to be taught how to bow. One never knows when a skill like that would be helpful.
I remember being taught to curtsy when I was young. We have Royal visits in Canada from time to time, and I saw Queen Elizabeth when she was still a princess, a month before my fifth birthday. I wasn't close enough to be required to curtsy, however.
I wouldn't have guessed, from yesterday's photo, what the courtesan was doing, but it was fun to find out.

I would love to learn to curtsy properly. My only lesson was faraway childhood ballet lessons...and those are hilariously exaggerated 'curtsies'!
I would have been the one that would just watch from the back.
terrific capture! love the contrasting personna.
Franchement, c'est bien trop compliqué pour moi, à cause de mes douleur du nerf sciatique! c'est la catastrophe! Je me sens comme un robot rouillé! :O ui!sans blague!

Ahh, the good old ways!
What a great photo.
Preuve que je dois remonter dans le temps et visionner le billet d'hier...
Nothing like learning from the best, does he show his technique on youtube?
darn, i should have know, we learned that in williamsburg!
Oh that's what you were talking about! I'll pass; would probably strain my back and pull a muscle in my leg. They actually give lessons in this stuff? Amazing!
Ah! Mystery solved.. and solved so elegantly :)
Very elegant, but I am not sure to be flexible enough for this...
I don't think I've curtsied since I was a young girl, and that was only from being taught to do so. Never had occasion to do so otherwise.
I love Wayne (Woody), whatever's comment!

I'm not sure I would bow or curtsy precisely. I always feel like such a klutz. :)
