Aroma says: Let's meet!
I thought there were three of us. Who knew... it's a whole conference!
I've just arrived in Da Lat
Aroma has already connected with so many strangers
Inviting Yan to bring ideas to their place
Inviting Slaven to open the door: Yeah, come on over!
No script, no assigned roles
But the guests are arriving, what's going on?
I ask: Who's in charge of the program today?
Everyone looks at me. Okay, I get it!
Aroma flips the switch, and the whole room lights up
We don't even know each other's names, but we're already laughing and forgetting names
Hello, hello, hola, sit down
No lesson plan, just real people!
Aroma flips the switch, and the awkwardness disappears
A small invitation, and the whole room is happy together
Yan has the Da Lat app, has E Z Viet
Has a hundred ideas, but doesn't know what to do first
Slaven has a cafe, has tables, has tea
Aroma has the magic: bringing people closer
English goes first, Vietnamese follows
Spanish slips in with a sentence
If someone says something wrong, we laugh and correct it
No one judges the newcomers
Aroma flips the switch, and the whole room lights up
We don't even know each other's names, but we're already laughing and forgetting names
Hello, hello, hola, sit down
No lesson plan, just real people!
Aroma flips the switch, and the awkwardness disappears
A small invitation, and the whole room is happy together
I bring a long plan like a mountain pass
Sister laughs and says: just go with it!
Sometimes I think I need to know everything
Before I dare invite someone to sit next to me
Sister doesn't have all the answers
But she's already given the whole room trust
Thirty seconds later, I hear her laugh again
I haven't even started, but I'm already happy with ten people
Laughter doesn't need translation
Just an empty chair: hey, sit next to me
The first lesson isn't on the board
One person opens up, and the whole room feels less lost
Tonight, we're not experts, but we're still welcomed
Da Lat is warmer because we're calling out to each other
Aroma flips the switch, and the whole room lights up
We don't even know each other's names, but we're already laughing and forgetting names
Hello, hello, hola, sit down
No lesson plan, just real people!
Aroma flips the switch, and the awkwardness disappears
A small invitation, and the whole room is happy together
What should we bring next week?
Bring people. The plan... we'll figure it out later!
