WE007 - Life in Banna: cultural and other differences

| Time for tea! This time, we will look at living conditions in Xishuangbanna and elaborate how the work conditions as well as other specifics of living as a foreigner. Special attention will be paid to the worklife standards (effectiveness vs. time), motivation (language, environment, food or something else), types of foreigners (high-end jobs vs. low-end jobs), special occasions (weddings, festivals and markets) and other practical aspects living in Xishuangbanna.

| What are the most common foreign expats in Xishuangbanna? Why most of the foreigners travel to other parts of Yunnan than Xishuangbanna? How Richard met with Shanshan? What is so fascinating on the Lancang-Mekong River (Lancang jiang 澜沧江)? How demanding is to work at Yunnan University in Kunming (昆明市) and how easy is to travel within Yunnan for research purposes? What are the differences between Han-style and tribal style weddings? What is the Water Splashing Festival (Boshuijie 泼水节) and how it is different from Spring Festival (Chunjie 春节)? And how about our wedding in Youle Tea Mountain in December 2021?

🍵 | During the session we will taste four sheng puer teas and share exclusive content from our recent research trip to Xishuangbanna, including unique photographs and videos from the region.
