Nadia: growing up biracial, finding belonging as a Third Culture Kid & how life is changing in Hong Kong

Despite being located in New Zealand, I always wanted Not Your Token Minority to have a global reach. Today's conversation is with my first international guest and when I say international, I really mean international.

Nadia is half-German, half-Chinese, was born in Egypt, grew up in Germany and is currently living and working in Hong Kong. We chat all about her childhood in Germany, work and life in Hong Kong and the benefits of being a third culture kid.

Themes and topics in this episode include:
- growing up biracial in Germany with a strong  Chinese identity
- the discrimination faced by hua qiao (people of Chinese ethnicity who live outside of China)
- life in Hong Kong, including work culture and the increasing influence of mainland China
- the concept of "home"

Also, if anyone knows the Chinese Mandarin name for that basket-like ladle you use for hot pot, please enlighten me!
