Coexisting

Its Lunar New Year and the Year of the Ox!

As a love letter to those that celebrate a re-release of one of our very first episodes set in Hong Kong.

Very early in the world's Covid journey, but already almost three months into lockdown in parts of Asia where it began end January 2020.

• We talk about the stark differences between people's approach to Coronavirus in 'West' and 'East'.
• resilience among students graduating during Covid
• And the miles of untouched nature in Hong Kong, where 40% of its land mass is national parkland - just a step away from the seething metropolis of central Hong Kong.
