Conversational Yi

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.

m̌ ḫ, have particularly liked this photo

Yup... few and far between, I don't like pointing the camera at people as a 'tourist' but if there is a connect then I ask politely ... so there is always a personal vibe running! Thanks!

OK, I can see that if I stray from 'hello' and 'Good Afternoon' my translator is going to get me into heaps of interesting situations!!! What I typed in, in English, was 'you are welcome' ... as in Italian, 'Prego' .... not that you are not desirable of course! ;)))
... perhaps I should rest my online translator!
