Our long-time listener, guest, and friend, Sambai Belacan, shared a recent big success and recognition of his photography work in France.

Not only did his photos of Penang get some commercial usage in partnership with a tea house, his work was also recognized by the Malaysian Consulate in France.

Some of you suggested that we should have some weeks where we can talk about any topic. Kinda like our Clubhouse rooms. So, here’s the first one.

We also continue to share some of our thoughts about our last 20 years of PGHK. Including some details of what happened at our PGHK20 dinner. This episode also included a bonus mini ghost episode!

This is the first recording since I returned from Malaysia, and I am so rusty. We might as well start from scratch!

We also let those who didn’t get to attend the event ask questions about our in-person 20th Anniversary Celebration events last year.
