Hello Steemians, what's the story behind those eyes?

The best part about traveling is the people you meet! Yes, it's great to try new foods and see new places but usually it's the people who leave a lasting impression. This might be locals or fellow travelers but one smile or encounter can make you remember a person all your life.

China is obviously full of different people. Around 1.4 billion to be precise. The majority of the people here are "Han Chinese"(about 91%) but there are also 55 different ethnic minorities.

Here are a few of those individuals. What story do they tell?

This is Coco. She is a teacher and a beautiful person. She's traveled all around Asia and she's quick to laugh. Her dress made me think of the Steemit logo.

This is a chef at a shao kao (BBQ) restaurant. I had to get a photo of him because he had a brilliant smile. He was just walking around genuinely enjoying his day. Funny thing is, when I asked him if I could take his photo, his smile wasn't as big and natural. If you look close you can see the glimmer in his eyes.

Tell me about a person you've met traveling who has impacted you. I'd love to hear your stories.
