In this week's episode, Louisa and the Fantastic Fo speak to Melanie Bell, a real expat OG who moved to Hong Kong 25 years ago for the most unique reason we've had on the podcast so far (no spoilers)....and I don't think we can top this one.

Melanie tells us about how she came to the city just before handover, what HK and the black community was like at that time, and how she finds the city now as an older member of society. We had so many listeners request for guests from the older expat community and we now see why. Melanie takes us on an adventure  through time and across the globe, so this episode is dotted with a few gems for your start of the week.

We intend on featuring more guests like this so if you are, or know someone that has years and years of experience in the city, do the right thing,  hit us up!

Enjoy!
