RE: A'o Da`i (1910)

Hello Anh Tuan Pham,
 
    Had a look at the Princess Thuyen Hoa. She was very cute. Thank you 
very much. However, I don't think this kind of A'o da`i is the modern A'o 
da`i. This is the old fashioned A'o da`i you can find much before the 
Pricess Thuyen Hoa. Please visit "Ba'c Co^?" in Hanoi if you have a chance.
I have a feeling that this A'o da`i was 100% Chinese.

   The modern A'o da`i is more European. In 30's the modern A'o da`i was 
called A'o Ta^n Tho+`i and was criticized much in public by the old fashioned
people. If we want to revision this, we should review this period in more 
details.

  Cheers
