For me, Zug, my family’s home in Switzerland, is amazing in the summer.

NYC, specifically Brooklyn.

Idk if favorite-favorite, but favorite nostalgic, absolutely.

Best childhood memories were make while living there.

Just trying to figure out the NYC metro is like solving puzzles... I was kinda good at my sense of directions, or at least that what everyone says about me.

But other than that, probably Hong Kong...

Only been there once as a tourist, not much memories of it. But it's a very internationalized/westernized city and most importantly, it's a Cantonese-speaking stronghold, Cantonese is one of my native languages and I've always felt a stong emotional connection to it, both the fun times and the same language that I got verbally abused in by family members but it's simultsneously the language my mother, intermittently, expresses love in... so I kinda have a love-hate attachment to the language...

Hong Kong the last bastion of the Cantonese language... and most Hong Kongers are pro-democracy... so I kinda just feel attached to that place, I just hope Hong Kong remains Hong Kong and not become a "Xianggang" or whatever (mainland-ization and mandarin dominance)

For me: Hong Kong and Cantonese are the symbols of resistance against CCP, which is why they're trying so hard to get rid of Cantonese.
