Miao

In 2004 I was teaching at Guizhou Normal University and the Waiban (Foreign Affairs Director) sponsored a trip to a Miao village outside of Kaili in the southeast of Guizhou.  We were forced to drink the wine (a sweet, rice based wine), listen to singers, watch dancers, look at the fantastic scenery, and so on.  If you tried to resist the wine, they made you drink another cup.  A fine time was had by all.
