Question

Last weekend Victor joined in an interesting event at the Civic Center. It was the Bamboo Expo. "I advise that anyone who likes to learn about new things should go there next weekend. It's your last chance," Victor told his friends this morning.

Victor didn't think he would enjoy it very much, but he really did. He never dreamed that so many things could be made from bamboo. In countries such as China, Japan and India, people have used bamboo in many ways for thousands of years. One display at the Expo was set up as a bamboo hut, like many found in Southeast Asia. The walls were bamboo. The roof was covered with bamboo leaves. The pipes bringing water into the house and out into the fields were bamboo. So were the cooking pots, drinking cups and shoes. Even the bed was made of bamboo.

Victor also learned that it isn't just pandas that eat tender bamboo shoots. The shoots are eaten with rice by millions of people in Asia.

"Here in the US, we're just getting to ,know bamboo," Victor said. "We're starting to realize how useful this light but strong plant can be. I'll never think of bamboo in the same way again. Now I'll see it in my home, thanks to what I bought at the show. Check it out! There's much to see, buy and learn."
