So I'm starting to pack for our 10-day Yunan trip which starts tomorrow. I'm going in a group that's heading to the southern ends of the province. I cannot wait to experience warm weather and fresh air. I know very little about the itinerary but I do know we're doing some homestays with villagers and one of the villages we go to is right on the China-Vietnam border. A major part of the trip is experiencing the rural side of China and getting to spend a good amount of time with China's ethnic minorities. My Chinese sociology teacher has talked about some extremely odd traditions held by some of these groups so I should come back with some interesting stories and great pictures.
I'm having trouble loading pics but I'll get new ones up as soon as possible. I will take notes while I'm gone so I don't forget to let you know about anything.
Another Chinese lesson:
When leaving a restaurant, a 服务员（foo-woo-yuan = waitress/hostess) will often say:
“慢走” (man2zou3 - MAN-ZO'OW) which literally means "go slowly". It's sort of the chinese version of "take care".
