Hey, how have you been? Chinese family is the last to be touchy-feely, and a lot of us are dying for that special bond with our family, especially grandparents. Following the last free episode on "I want to talk to my Cantonese grandparents", here we dive deeper into what can be said to them to bring us closer.

Talking to family is never easy, especially when it's in a language you are not the most comfortable with. However, many of us are doing it for the love of our family. We want to speak to them in a language THEY are comfortable with, despite us struggling. This is the episode for those who feel this way.

Hey! Thanks for subscribing to the premium content of Canto Be Like. Welcome on board to hk dispatch!!!

In this episode, I shared some of my experiences of working in Hong Kong as an early-20-something person. I have a hard time adjusting to the hustle culture and so do a lot of people (e.g. gen-z) in my situation. We have our own ways to combat capitalism and for me that includes some philosophy...
