About this listen

 In this episode of Slice of Anecdote, host Harry welcomes Wei, a Taiwanese native who moved to London to explore life beyond his comfort zone. We explore Wei's experiences with the language and culture of Taiwan, his move, and life in the UK. Wei shares insightful comparisons between Mandarin and Taiwanese languages, describes the vibrant food culture of his hometown, and opens up about the differences and challenges in his romantic relationships. From queer party stories to delving into deeper subjects like family dynamics and the hurdles of interracial dating, this episode is a candid dive into Wei's journey of self-discovery and adaptation.
