Teresa Norton and her witty guest Alan Couldrey dig into a wickedly funny column Teresa wrote for a Hong Kong newspaper in the 1990's about the hilarious mishaps of a fictional Hong Kong charity committee. They reflect on the changing social climate and the impact it has on humor and potentially giving offensive, and share personal anecdotes related to misinterpretation and cultural differences, and the challenges of learning a new language. Alan shares about his work as a writer and creative director and gives examples of how cross cultural miscommunication can be both funny and poignant.
