GLÓRIA OF THE ORIENT
Progress in this game is defined by the luck or otherwise of the various participants. Answer by answer, we progress or fall back steps in the Glória Game. And step by step we learn differing aspects about Asia: its Gods, Buddhas, customs, costumes, foods… What will they tell us of everything there is to be told? In each house, there is an activity that may be an introduction to the martial arts, paper-chases, dances or singing not to mention theatrical performances.
