Episode notes

In this episode of the British Asian - Other Podcast [BAO], Kelli Wu (she/her) joins me on what it's been like to acclimatise to the UK as a Hongkonger and what she's noticed about British Asian identity from the outside looking in.

In just over half an hour, we get into the things you can only really say in Cantonese, why so many British Asians can't speak the language their parents grew up with, and the bigger question hanging over Kelli's generation: what happens to Cantonese and to Hong Kong culture itself... in the years to come.
