Growing up as a Nepalese Hongkonger, Bidhya always felt a huge disconnection between her Nepalese roots and the culture she was brought into. She mentions how challenging it is to navigate these two identities and to find a way to embrace both. The language barrier in Hong Kong further added to her personal struggles in assimilating into the local culture. However, she is grateful to be exposed to a plethora of different cultures from all walks of life. That sense of belonging in the city’s diversity is the reason why she always says, “Hong Kong is my home”.
What she loves about Hong Kong the most is the sense of togetherness that Hongkongers have. “I admire the way Hongkongers look after one another and cooperate together, especially during tough times. To me, that is the beauty of Hong Kong!”
