Growing up in Hong Kong listening to Linkin Park w/ Philbert (from 2022)

To welcome Q2 2025 in this hellscape and a new world order, I opened the time capsule and bring you this conversation with my friend Philbert from 2022. When I started this little project of mine, I knew I wanted to talk to someone extensively about growing up in Hong Kong and moving to Canada as a young adult, and Philbert was the perfect guest to dig deep into these feelings with. We also spent a good chunk talking about our mutual love for music and Linkin Park. That brings us to our first content warning: we never actually said it outright, but there are mentions of depression and suicide. On the lighter side of things, we share our experiences in language learning and Philbert brought us otter facts! Don’t forget to check the website https://iamthinkingaboutyou.com/ for photos, including the ones I took of Linkin Park when I was 18 (?!!?!!???????)
