Hello world//Yannis Ding

Hello! My name is Yinzi Ding and you can call me Yannis!

(btw, I just knew Yannis is a Greek boy’s name:(( But I still love it ♡)

I come from China, born and raised in Guangzhou, which is a city famous for incredible food. Guangzhou is a welcoming and open city, known for hosting the world-renowned Canton Fair every year. I love this city—it has the vibrancy and convenience of a top-tier metropolis, but also contains sense of belonging.

I have a younger brother and a pomeranian called Meimei~

I’m really passionate about cooking and baking from my primary school. In fact, during my first month of living in London, cooking has been the most relaxing and therapeutic activity for me. My favorite food is sushi and I had sushi for almost every meal when I travel to Tokyo….Then, traveling is another passion I can’t give up. I’ve solo-traveled to many countries. Friends ask me : Don’t you feel lonely when you departure on your own? Why don’t you wait for a partner？

I said, “Would I just not go because of that?”

My next destination is Longyearbyen, the northernmost town in the world—I can’t wait!！

Photography, Sleep No More, and musicals are also important parts of my life.

Thank you for reading this far! I hope this blog has helped you get to know me a bit betterI love trying new things, and I’m excited to create more during my time at Westminster.
