In this episode, Mr. Bolo and I talk about our experiences in friendships, and different ideas about having healthy friendships. Also I will share the podcast that enlightened me - Witty Wednesday by Sandy Wu. Stay tuned!

Why haven’t we done a podcast for the past month? What has kept Mr. Bolo and I so busy recently? The answer is - probably the last thing you want to do in Hong Kong - moving! It has been such a painful and exhausting journey for us during this 1 month of moving, behind which is more than 3 months of house hunting. Has it been rewarding, eventually? Tune in to find out!!

Our lovely audience asked about how we live together and get along well. Truth be told, it was never perfect, but balanced. For the past 1.5 years living together, we have had challenges and frictions, but eventually got through them via communication and empathy. In this episode, we share our experiences and insights that led to a smoother co-living life.

我们亲爱的听众问到同居生活怎么做到和和气气。实际上，我们的同居生活并不是满分，但是平和。在过去同居的一年半，我们有过摩擦有过挑战，最终都通过沟通和同理心解决。在这一期，我们会分享这一年半的同居心得。

This episode is about 2 cities, London and Hong Kong. Both Mr. Bolo and I have lived in these two cities, and have observed them either from a local or an expat perspective. We never expected these two cities would have so much in common…until we recorded this episode. If you are interested in how similar these 2 cities are, tune in!

We haven’t been able to travel outside of Hong Kong for more than 2 years since Covid19 started in 2020. It seems a farfetched idea to travel abroad freely. Luckily your last travel memories are still fresh. In this episode, Mr. Bolo and I will share some of our last trips before Covid, and other good old-time travel stories. If you also miss traveling, tune in!

生活在香港的我们，已经两年没有离开这个城市旅游了。虽然出去旅游貌似是一个遥不可及的梦，但是我们对于最后一次旅行却依然记忆犹新。在这一集，我和菠萝先生来聊聊疫情开始前的最后几次旅行。如果你也怀念旅行，那就快来收听吧！

In HK, moving out from parents’ place and renting your own place seems like an uneasy choice for locals. Knowing that some HK local peers have saved up to 1 million Hong Kong Dollars while living in parents’ places, made us to think about the value of moving out and living on your own. In this episode, Mr. Bolo and I will share our experiences, learnings and thoughts about this topic. Tune in!
