EP. 7 - Christmas Culture Shock: Family? Romance?

Christmas means different things in British and Hong Kong culture.


In Britain, Christmas is mainly family time — going home, eating together, and spending the day with family.


For Hongkongers, family gatherings already happen often during Chinese festivals like 冬至, so Christmas is more commonly seen as a time for romance or hanging out with friends.


In this episode, Bee and Gee talk about how these differences can cause culture shock — especially for couples.


Cantonese words you’ll hear:

• 冬至【dung1 zi3】– Winter Solstice

• 聖誕節【sing3 daan3 zit3】– Christmas

• 聖誕快樂【sing3 daan3 faai3 lok6】– Merry Christmas

• 二人世界【ji6 jan4 sai3 gaai3】– romantic time for two


🎧 Listen now and see which side you relate to more — family or romance?
