oh...and Yunnan people LOVE their spicy foods - even if you order something without spice - the cook won't believe you and usually insists on throwing in at least a pinch of chili seasoning...Just be brave and courteous, send it back and remind them 不 (no) means no...and don't give in to pressure tactics - never be afraid to call the police (who are rather useless - but it's the annoyance factor that usually wins - when the police ask everyone to go to the police station to file a report - that's where you'll win - most locals don't want that kind of recognition...and as a student, you've probably got time to blow...
