Going Tribal

I have an affinity for anything tribal. In fact 10 years ago, I promised my newly wedded husband that I'd take him on an adventure he'll never forget. You bet he didn't forget. I was on a quest to find and learn more about the many minority Miao groups in China. I dragged him into the mountains of Guizhou to find the elusive Long Horned Miao. I later brought back a traditional costume which had taken a family years to complete. The exquisitely made top featured unique batik prints unique to the minority group. The basic guesthouse there which was specifically built for tourists seemed like a 5 star hotel next to our subsequent accommodation at the Xijiang village of the Flower Miao tribe where the family pig slept next door and grunted all night.

I've never had a head for calculus unlike my 3 siblings who excelled in the science field. However, I've come up with my own mathematical equation. Tribal print + anything French = perfection.
