Conversational Yi

Chance meetings along the road ... one essence of travelling. Stopping at the side of the road for the driver to take a mobile phone call. This Yi really wanted to talk ... difficult ... but then the driver came and translated. She was trying to tell me about her husband and how he died 8 years ago in a car crash. About her daughter's success in her exams. So warm and friendly ... we all have the same concerns ... and she had a wonderful jade and silver ear ring too!

The Yi are one of the 'minority ethnicities' living in Yunnan province.
