  • 33: Navigating Hong Kong: Culture, Identity and the In-between

    What does it truly mean to be local in a city as unique as Hong Kong?


    We often grapple with the feeling of being stuck in the middle, not quite local and not quite foreign. In this episode, we break down Hong Kong’s culture in our eyes through values and etiquette, cultural influence and what it means to find beauty in a place we call home 🏠
