This episode kicks off with a newspaper column, written in December of 1994, that had Teresa Norton facing the realities of making a new home far from family and friends.

There's the fascination and fun of immersing oneself in a completely different culture and the feeling of helplessness when something scary happens to someone you love on the other side of the planet in what used to be your hometown.

What follows is a heartfelt conversation with 2CookInn shop owner Angela Yuen, that explores their shared experiences of moving from Hong Kong to new environments, the challenges and joys of adapting to different cultures, the importance of friendships both old and new, and how, when it comes to new cuisine, looks can be deceiving.

Angela shares her journey of opening her kitchenware shop in Lisbon and how despite her limited Portuguese, she has uncovered the universal language of friendship.

It's a warm and generous conversation that provides a hopeful portal into the new year ahead.
