——————————June 2019 & onwards - If you don’t know what’s going on in Hong Kong now, please read this overview by Time magazine if you have time https://time.com/5614357/hong-kong-g20-extradition-protest-democracy-foreign-intervention/ as well as this documentary by ABC https://www.facebook.com/abcnews.au/videos/2380269582213803?sfns=mo or on YouTube https://youtu.be/7g4N6Oe3g2Q Feel free to ask if you have any questions.——————————————————————————

I find it extremely hard to describe myself (or anyone else) in a few words. And I think meeting someone in person does a better job. But it’s safe to say that I’m very easygoing, friendly and open minded. Still finding out who I am, what I should do with my life, where to go... Care to share your story?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Want to meet, exchange with and learn from different people instead of merely passing by as a tourist without actually experiencing the country/culture. I’m more keen on the people than touristy stuff. I want to know how people live, what struggles they have, what they cherish the most, etc.
I also believe that everyone is unique and has something to share or bring to the table even though it may not be very obvious or easily expressed.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Discovered Couchsurfing XD

Teach, Learn, Share

Can teach Cantonese, English and mandarin. Can tutor science and maths subjects. Can show you around my home country.

Would like to learn different languages, including programming languages. Would like to learn anything interesting as well as how this world works.

Can introduce you some Cantopop (Cantonese pop music) and mandarin songs. Can share about Hongkongese culture. Although I’m not from China, Taiwan or Japan, I’m exposed to these neighbouring countries quite a bit to be able to share a bit about these countries, their people and their culture. Can share about what's going on between Hong Kong/Taiwan and China. Can teach you how to differentiate between a Hongkongese/Cantonese and a Chinese through facial/physical features, look, language and behaviour (and yes there are differences between the two. Not saying that either is better or worse, just different. Just as the Japanese and Chinese are different, as are the Norwegians and Italians or the Polish and Germans. You could sound culturally insensitive/ignorant and in some cases offensive to mix up different races/ethnicities and call a Hongkongese a Chinese, or vice versa. It's not about dividing people but about respecting people and different races/ethnicities, which i think is very important.)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Health advice, life experience. Could try to help solve any problems you might have. Perhaps some Hongkongese snacks or souvenirs.
