Bo Y ethnic group
Name of ethnic group: Bo Y (Chung Cha, Trong Gia, Tu Di, Tu Din and Pu
Na)
Population: 1,864 people (Year 1999)
Locality: Lao Cai, Yen Bai, Ha Giang and Tuyen Quang provinces.
Customs and habits: Ancestor worship is the basis of Bo Y religion.
The Bo Y live in houses built on the ground. There is always an extra
room in this type of house constructed of wooden boards that rest on
the main beams of the house. These rooms serve as the bedroom for
unmarried boys and as a granary. The wedding ceremony of the Bo Y is a
complicated and expensive endeavor. A unique characteristic of this
wedding ceremony is that the groom does not attend the ceremony.
Instead, he sends his younger sister to the bride's family to lead a
pink horse during the wedding. When the parents die, the children must
practice strict mourning rites, 90 days to mourn their mother and 120
days to mourn their father.
Culture: The Bo Y language belongs to the Tay - Thai Group.
Costumes: Women wear a full skirt, a five-paneled shirt and a bra.
Some of the women have adopted the Nung or Han way of dressing.

Hey all! I'm heading to Mexico with some friends, landing at Cancun
and heading to Palenque in a couple of days. We had some general
questions:
1. Are there any reliable youth hostels in Cancun and Palenque?
2. We are planning to head on to Palenque from Cancun. We are thinking
either about a bus ride (more adventurous) or renting a car (more
freedom). Has anyone experienced the road travel in a bus? Is it
recommended/safe?
Thanks in advance for your response!
