Description of the podcast:

This podcast covers the ways of life in England as Hong Kong students studying abroad are discovering it. The podcasters are all university students, who express their feelings and experience in each episode. Each episode talks about a different topic on the way of life in England – drinking culture, food culture, automotive culture, comparison on studying in England and studying in Hong Kong, housing situation for overseas students, living pace, TV shows etc.

Each episode is actually a video and the visuals – a picture and a title or a short caption – match with what the hosts are talking about at the moment, which is helpful supportive information for listeners to understand the topic being talked about; sometimes the Chinese caption in the visuals might even be useful for learning some Chinese writing! The hosts are Macus, KK, Keith, Chris, Cherry, and Andrew. Sometimes guest hosts, such as Tsz Wang in episodes 3 and 4, are invited onto the show. There are no songs played in the show. The hosts encourage listeners to write onto their Facebook page.

The whole series is funny and casual from which listeners can learn about what overseas students discover over the years they stay in England.

Summary: This Cantonese podcast is recommended if you are interested in learning about how students from Hong Kong studying in the UK view England and their lives.
