My guest in the episode is Lindsay Varty, the author of Sunset Survivors. After a break, Lindsay is back with walking tours, book yours!
We talked about third culture experience, intrinsic knowledge, the value of connection. How what today might be sunsetting as seemingly impractical might have more than nostalgic value. It is ironic how much knowledge is disappearing every day while we celebrate the abundance of information.
We are drinking tea from Geow Yong Tea Hong established in 1886. You can find the shop at Bonham Strand 70. I wrote about them at my tea blog 113 Bonham Tea.
In between other things we discussed Hong Kong Intengiable Cultural Heritage.
Thank you for listening!
