《香港人思鄉美食憶記》新書發佈會 @倫敦
Presenting my new book: “Hongkongers in Their New Homes – New Taste, Old Taste”
This is my first presentation of my new book in London in English. It was held in the local library.
When I arrived in London last year, I had no friends here, but yesterday, there were 70% of local people and 30% of Hong Kongers came out and participated in the event. Many of them are friends I made here. After the presentation, the feedback is very positive. They thought that the topic and content were interesting.
The presentation covered the following:
1/ The creative process of the book
2/ Cultural shock
3/ How to adjust the mindset
4/ My other creative project with food
由細到大我都好怕英文,今日嘅我總算 #成就解鎖 ,喺倫敦嘅一間公共圖書館,為新書《香港人思鄉美食憶記》完成咗一場英文演講!之前練習咗咁多次 ,呢晚演講總算順利。
除咗分享我嘅畫畫過程,仲有分享各國飲食文化同點樣融入當地生活。
仲記得一年前,我初初嚟到英國,一位朋友都無;但一年之後,識到唔同嘅朋友 (好多都係做義工認識),出席嘅人數仲比我想像中多!
本地人佔大約70%,香港人佔30%,好多謝佢哋嚟支持,事後佢哋都讚我呢個題目同內容好有趣,講到港式鋸扒要拎紙巾做阻擋防彈汁,同埋This This Rice,個個都笑得好開心!
我最估唔到有一位南亞裔嘅街坊,佢話佢都掛住維他檸檬茶,原來佢都曾經住過喺香港!
我更加估唔到,呢次講座分別收到兩份聖誕禮物,大家都好有愛!(其中一份禮物我已經戴住咗,嘻嘻)
