Hi everyone,

Here's a photo of the crazy woman on Lê Lai:

You might think a person with so much rage can't last long, but it's actually her life force. My stepmother is no less angry. She'll probably live to be 120!

I have not seen that opening ceremony and probably never will but it is beyond comprehension how it was allowed to proceed. After all, it could not have been planned and executed in secret. It is a demonstration that things are much, much worse than we could imagine in France. As you say, utter humiliation for a nation that has been the epicentre of taste and sophistication for many centuries. I am saddened to see what has become of it and wonder if the burning of Notre Dame was as unsuspicious as claimed. They seem linked somehow. You have expressed that very well in a paragraph.
