Stranger #61 - Yikun

This is Ning's (Stranger #60) friend, Yikun from Shanghai - also an MBA student in business admin at Durham uni.

 

She told me that there were students from TWENTY SIX different countries on their course!

 

We had a damned good laugh when Yikun spelled her name for me, because she said, 'YI' which sounded to me like, 'Whey aye.'

 

It took me a long time to explain to her that she was speaking the local dialect from Newcastle - Geordie. Whey aye in Geordie means 'yes, of course.'

 

Lovely, bright, intelligent, chatty girl. So glad I stopped them both for a chat and a snap. Thank you so much Yikun - and good luck with all your studies :)
