This bought back some fond memories.
I found this on mefi but I'll link straight to the video here. Check it out it's so graceful. In my first visit to thailand I stayed in a pretty nice hotel on the outskirts. I remember taking the back streets from my hotel to a bar I liked about 4 years ago and getting shouted at by a bunch of young thai guys kicking this small football around, I couldn't work out what the hell the game was but stopped to watch. Also joined in when it got kicked at me. ;-) Man I was hopeless, not liking football really hinders those feet/spherical object skills so instead I just sat and watched for a while. I also saw people playing a similar game on the beach with a small wicker type ball inside another one so it rattled and made noises as it was kicked.
The video is almost balletic, very cool. It's different to the thai one as it originates in myanmar apparently.
