In this episode, Annie and Ben compare life in China, the UK, and Spain, exploring how different cultures understand happiness, daily life, and what it means to live well.
We discuss lifestyle habits, work–life balance, social values, friendships, family expectations, and how each country shapes people’s sense of comfort and satisfaction.
Why do some people feel happier in slower-paced cultures?
Why do others prefer the efficiency and convenience of big cities like Beijing?
Join us as we share personal stories and real-life experiences from living or spending long periods of time in all three places.
在本期播客中，Annie 和 Ben 一起比较了中国、英国和西班牙的生活方式，讨论不同文化中对“幸福”的理解，以及“怎样才算生活得好”。
我们聊到了生活节奏、工作与生活的平衡、社会价值观、朋友关系、家庭期待，以及不同国家带给人的舒适感和满足感。
为什么有些人更喜欢慢节奏的生活？
为什么有些人更适应像北京这样高效率的大城市？
我们会分享许多真实的故事和跨文化生活体验，一起探索幸福的多种可能。
