   Will moving to the UK fix my problems?

   For many young Australians, moving to the UK is a right of passage. With the ease of the two-year youth mobility visa and the promise of more opportunities and adventures, it's a temptation that's hard to resist. But is all that glitters actually gold? In this episode of Chinese-ish, Wing Kuang, Bertin Huynh and Dennis Fang speak to Mark Yin, co-host of season one and now PhD candidate at the University of Cambridge. They chat about the reality of being a young Chinese-Australian living in the UK, the hardships and wins, and whether or not moving to the UK will actually fix your problems.
