Anhui has many Huis.

But, I am a Han.

Real Huis never eat pork, only beef, chicken and so on.

It is terrible for me-Chinese food contains much pork and I am a Chinese food gourmet

Hmm...very hard to translate. both"岳"and "山" mean "mountains". So it becomes: after mountains, dont look at mountians;after yellow mountains, dont look at mountains.

Anyway, Amanda, hope you could come to Yellow Mountain one day and enjoy your staying there!

Not Yun Nan, but Hu Nan. There are many ethnic minorities in western Hunan, just like Yun Nan. I hope I can go to Yunnan either.
