On Friday, 20 November 2009, Ivaylo Gatev of the division of International Studies gave a 40 mins talk in front of about 200 students from Zhenhai High School in North Ningbo. The talk sought to explain what living and studying in the UK was all about, but also touched on subjects such as British humour, the 2012 London Olympics, and British cuisine. After the presentation, Ivaylo took questions from the audience on a wide range of topics, including the specificities of the UK educational system, the welfare system in Britain, and British people’s passion for football.
