Things to visit

If you have a chance to be here in the city of Kunming for a few days I would recommend you to:

• visit the Expo'99 (International Horticultural Exposition' 99) which lasts from May 1st to October 31st. More than 90 countries have taken part in it. In one day you can learn about the horticultures and cultures of many different countries.
• go to the Ethnic Villages, where you can see the life styles of the 26 ethnic groups living in the province of Yunnan.
• see the Stone Forest where you'll find out about the wonders of nature - different stones look like different things in the forest of stone.

The culture

Calling a person by his given name could be a kind of offence here. Usually, a person would be called by his surname, plus his position. For example, a teacher whose surname is Lee should be called teacher Lee, and a director whose surname is Wang should be called director Wang. It is quite different from other countries. But as in many other countries, saying 'please', 'thank you' and smiling are different ways of expressing friendly feelings.
