EP.5 - Hygiene Habits: Westerners VS Hongkongers

Bee and Gee are back with a fun (and slightly spicy đŸ€­) cultural chat!

Today we explore the big and small hygiene habits that Westerners and Hongkongers do SO differently — from shoes at the door to shower routines to how we eat at restaurants.


We talk about:

đŸ„ż Why Hongkongers take off shoes at home

🚿 Shower-before-bed vs morning shower

đŸœïž Sharing dishes vs individual plates (and ć…Źç­· becoming more common!)

đŸ«– Washing cutlery with hot tea at èŒ¶é€ć»ł

😆 Double-dipping — acceptable or criminal?


Lots of laughs and lots of “OMG so true” moments.


🎧 Tell us: Are you a morning shower or night shower person?
