Slow travel is about going beyond the tourist sights so that you live a bit of life as the locals do and feel cultural differences. The more time you have for your destination（目的地）, the easier it is to experience it more deeply.
When I was in India in 2012, I stayed with a local family. During that time, I kept hearing some loud, regular chant（吟唱）. I asked about it on the first day and was told that it was a call to prayer（祷告）. Yes, that was what I had thought. But I didn’t realize the chant was actually the doorbell until the fourth day! If I had been traveling faster, if I had left on the third day, I would have held a completely different understanding of the chant in my mind.
Going to the movies when traveling is not something that is typically on a travel plan, unless one is traveling slow. During a three-week stay in Italy, I went to Cineteca di Bologna, which showed international films. There I met Linda and Rosie, both Americans. Linda’s husband Gabe, a local, was also there. We watched the movie together. After the film, they invited me to dinner at a local restaurant, Gabe’s favorite. At the restaurant, no menu was offered. Instead, after some conversation with a waiter, our meals were decided. Their kindness gave me a chance to go where tourists never go and to experience one of the locals’ favorite restaurants.
If you also want to try slow travel, the following may be helpful.
▶Travel in the off-season.Visit your destination without a lot of tourists in the way. Some tourist sights are not open, but you may find more of the local culture.
▶Stay where the locals live, which helps you enter the local life quickly.
▶Shop at markets and small stores where you can find local products.

Do you know face changing? The amazing skill in Sichuan Opera is used to express the changing feelings of characters. There are over 300 kinds of local operas in China. Among them, Sichuan opera is one of the oldest. As the most important and the most interesting opera form from Southwestern China, it is popular in Sichuan, Chongqing and some areas of Yunnan and Guizhou provinces. A large number of Sichuan Opera performers are active throughout Sichuan Province, both in the countryside and in cities.
The opera has three special skills: changing faces, spitting（吐）fire, and rolling lights. Face changing, or “bianlian” in Chinese, is the most famous one. It is an important int angible cultural heritage（非物质文化遗产）in China. Only a few artists have picked up this skill. They know how to change Sichuan Opera masks magically. As they wave their arms and turn their heads, their painted masks change again and again.
Face changing got its start about 300 years ago. In the beginning, opera artists changed the color of their faces during performances by blowing into a bowl of red, black or gold powder（粉末）. The powder would stick to their oiled skin quickly. In another way, actors would cover their faces with colored paste hidden in their hands. By the 1920s, opera artists began using layers（层）of masks made of oiled paper. They could peel one after another in the blink of an eye. At present, the artists use full-face painted silk masks which can be worn in layers.

Being polite can help us go a long way. Do you consider yourself a polite person?
21 Follow these suggestions if you want to be more polite in your daily life.
Always use “please” and “thank you”. When you ask for something, remember to add “please”. And when you receive something, say “thank you” and mean it. Using these words is the first step in being a polite person.
22 Don’t cut in on others when they’re having a conversation with someone else. Instead, let them finish speaking and wait patiently till it’s your turn to join the conversation, even when you disagree with them.
Make small talk wisely and properly. You may ask someone how their family is doing, how their new job is going, or if anything is new in their life. 23 You should always make sure what you ask doesn’t go too far.
Don’t laugh at others if they make a mistake. I’m sure you don’t like it when others laugh out loud when you’ve made a mistake, so don’t do the same to others and stop being mean. It is always good
to treat others with kindness.
Don’t judge（评判）others. 24 Even when you “know their story”, you don’t know all of it. The part you do know is probably not even one percent of the whole story.
How to be polite isn’t rocket science（高深的事）. But it does take time and efforts. You can start being more polite by paying attention to the above tips.
