Every Chinese girl is a Mulan
Talking about London life from an East Asian's perspective , trying to discuss the cultural differences between China and UK in a funny way. Sharing interesting experiences of dating and working as an East Asian gender queer, stories about identity crisis, and how to survive and fit in both society in East and West.
Stories including things like how I got robbed 5 times in Zone 1, and how my date burned my balcony--ridiculous dating stories in London , how my friend's phone was dropped in the thames but we dig it out at the end, and how my meme got on the Daily Mail-- my secret influencer life.
Hope this show can help a little with building up the cultural bridge between the east and west, and eliminate the stereotypes, create more space for discussions and thoughts of London life for global majority, and let more People hear East Asian community's voices.
