Mr Chan senior is so cute. Like older generation immigrants here, they talked about the past and contrast the present. Super nice to stay positive and enjoy life. Also realized he is probably just a little to my senior. Salute to him. 🫡
As someone living in Canada who is curious about the UK, I am really enjoying this UK series you created, keep it up Jason! It's good to be positive while being down to earth and realistic. Unfortunately, there are some critics of yours who think being down to earth and realistic mean being negative. The folks who think this way are those who have already moved to the UK and they don't want to have that feeling of "buyer's remorse." lol I think your vids are fun and informative.
thx thx for your support, it means so much that for there are msgs of encouragement. We set out to film some fun content but at the same time cover a little of what people might want to know about the UK, the cost of living etc We had fun, and I'm really happy you enjoyed watching it, thx thx
Since I can't travel at this moment, it is just soothing to see other country. I really appreciate and love all these episode videos. Thank you so much!!!
Your dad is funny and two of you have very good chemistry. Cornwall is a beautiful place and it's a shame I have never been there even though I live in UK for over 10+ years. Thanks for sharing such a nice video.
Daniel Chin 1 second ago I totally understand your perception of good old England and its laissez faire attitude to life. I was brought up in London and went to HK for holiday in my mid 20’s. It was so different to life in the UK and dazed by the 24/7 fast paced of life and neon lights. Couldn’t read any of the Chinese character shop fronts and confused about my orientation as there wasn’t really any distinctive landmarks. Loved the late night shopping, having buffets in hotels, cheap taxi fares and decided to look for a job. Finding domestic and household help is so cheap and easy. I would find it a struggle if I had to go back to living in the UK. I think Westerners are quite lazy and have a drinking culture that I don’t find appealing. They are always going on strike for all reasons especially train drivers. My parents also started their lives working in restaurants and were very successful but none of their children followed them into the profession. It’s a dull and boring life. Singapore and Malaysia could be another option for me.
thx Daniel! England and Hong Kong and Singapore or Malaysia are very different. We had so much fun filming in June? It feels like such a long time ago. We set out to have a bit of fun and to show the cultural differences. There's just too much to film. The UK is like you say very relaxed and they're such a nice selection of places to choose from. Easy-going in Cornwall, lively London, nice mix of both in Manchester or Birmingham.
Nowadays many immigrants from Hong Kong are working in the office instead of restaurants. You can try some jobs in law firm, CPA firm or IT industry etc.
totally agree with you Charlotte, but those industries are hard to film since I'm not a lawyer or accountant. I wanted to show you the local Londoners, Cornwall people etc, that the purpose of this segment. thx for the reminder tho!
"Nowadays many immigrants from Hong Kong are working in the office instead of restaurants." That doesn't apply to the majority of the BNO'ERS, I am afraid. Unless, otherwise, you're born and raised in the UK with a professional skill, it is highly unlikely for a BNO'ER, with a Chinese feature, to be employed in the office. Don't be delusional, Freedom ?Democrac? It all boils down to who is to serve, and who is to eat.
You didn't explain the history behind Cornish pasties! 😂 Back in the day, it was the miners meal. As their hands were dirty, they needed something that can be easily held and afterwards they would throw away the crimped crust part.
Because of all the noise, we decided to watch a few episode. Didn’t think it was that critical, but we found the context quite boring and choppy... wouldn’t continue watching. 杜汶澤commented on BK being expensive also, but his episode was interesting from start to end. Maybe worth learning from other shows.
