The last century plus change has destroyed so many traditions, and that's why I have never identified as a "progressive."

Below is a flirting duet from Hue. This back and forth singing was once common throughout Vietnam. In this instance, the woman asks if the man is married. If so, just say so, don't just turn red. He admits that he is married, but his wife is, ah, in Canada, which, of course, cracks up the audience. He then counters that she's also married, but her husband is far away. Poker faced, she responds, "Yes, very far away."
