EP01 So That’s How It Is! Taiwan vs. Hong Kong, From Banks to Parks

Starting from the everyday experience of a Hong Kong migrant newly arrived in Taiwan, this episode carefully unpacks the institutional and day-to-day differences between the two places. From opening a bank account and applying for a credit card to registering a company, the pace and transparency of administrative processes form a striking contrast — and even seemingly simple things in city life, like garbage trucks, deposit systems, or pet-friendly spaces, reveal different cultural logics. Through a string of first-hand encounters and good-humored confusion, this episode captures, in the most everyday terms, how someone relocating across borders relearns how to live, adapts to new norms, and finds ease again amid the differences.
