Vienna Brussels Hansio

Hansio is a very funny entertainer. He is bavarian and does not speak english at all. he plays all kinds of instruments. sometimes at the same time. keyboard. saxophone, klarinet, flute. He plays polka and walzes and boogie woogie and samba. But the nicest thing is that he interacts with the people.

he brings people on stage, they get instruments in the hands and funny bavarian hats on their head. he makes people laugh and people can be the star. last tour the people were nt really into it, but this time he had them laughing. of course the macho patriotic guys were picked out of the crowd. much funnier is when the women come on stage. he always picks out one woman who has to beat a big drum. as soon as she starts she beats a hole in the drum which is made out of paper of course. last time the woman was really shocked by having ´destroyed´the drum, this time the ´victim´acted along. great fun

of course we have to dance to. arjan took our black sheep who has been dubbed the walking sigaret by our other clients and was rewarded hero of the day afterwards. everyone is talking about that woman who interrupts any conversations she can interrupt. she also lost her sunglasses and let everyone know that she lost them. she pretends to be a ballroom dancer but sucked dancing with arjna. i danced with a few people. one of which was an older lady who came to ask me for a dance. she had not danced in ages and needed a dance. this is the third time it happens to me and i am happy to give them what they want.

the final game of hansio is great competition. It is like muscial chair but with a twist. ten couples on the dancefloor, men have a newspaper folded up in their back jeans pocket and have to dance with their women. when the music stops, the woman has to take the newspaper out, unfold it, put it on the floor and jump on it. HEAVY COMPETITION people. really heavy competition. last time they cheated, but this time they played it fair. the people i thought would win, won. They are the most competitive active people on the trip. you have no idea.
