May and Soe take us on a journey to Myanmar, a part of the world that I honestly knew zero about, then over to NYC.
The funny thing is that I have known Soe's cousin for over a decade online (never met her in person), and she introduced me to Soe on his arrival in NYC. Life wouldn't allow us to meet until New York Comic-Con two years ago, and the next time we would meet again was at the studio for this recording.
It was an honor to have May join us in the studio. May and Soe were fantastic. This episode was rich in everything!
Also, Congratulations to May and Soe on their engagement (not long after this recording).

*Apologies, I named the director of OKJA as the same that for Old Boy, that was a mistake. Both movies were by different directors (not Spike Lee I'm talking about the South Korean directors).*
In this episode, Wenbei shall be taking us on a visit to Wenzhou China, her experience of New York, Seattle, Miami, DC, and ending back in Seattle — navigating through food, music, passion for what you do, and willingness to embrace new information plus experiences.
