[Chai Time] Ep50 Life in the US, Cross-Cultural Marriage and Love at First Sight w/ Ping & Louis Chai with Ping | Immigrants | Cross-Cultures

Welcome to Ep50! It's been a year for Chai with Ping and the Mandarin podcast 香料茶時間. I invited my handsome hubby back to the show and had a great recap about our life during these years. We chatted about our daily life in the U.S., love story, marriage, and some other stuff that got us through. Thank you again for listening to Chai with Ping. Without you guys, I won't be able to continue to make this show. And yeah, Louis and I talked a lot... More great stories to come!

Oh, and from now, the Chai Time series will be me talking and sharing stories so stay tuned if you want to know more about my stories.

📝Randon Takeaways

➡️ Both happy and challenging moments were related to my tuition funding

➡️ Culture shock? Ask, not assume. It's not always about right and wrong. Cultures are just different.

➡️ Ping's process of applying for a doctoral program -  have a plan and story!

➡️ Cross-cultural marriages can be challenging but couples therapy helps us!

➡️ First times: driving on highways, bike lights got stolen, unemployment and woodworking

➡️ Goals of Chai with Ping: enhance understanding between groups with different identities, create a space to talk about lived experiences and minority issues, podcast/radio is my favorite medium to record my life and easier to start.
