In the bittersweet series finale of Panda and Hotpot, we celebrate the multicultural spirit of Luxembourg with a special guest who has successfully bridged the gap between East and West: Dali Zhu, the Mayor of Contern. As a businessman, restaurateur, and dedicated public servant, Dali reflects on his unique journey from his family’s hospitality roots to leading a commune through the lens of the Democratic Party (DP). We dive into his philosophy of civic contribution, the challenges of balancing a career in the private sector with political responsibility, and what it means to give back to the community that raised him. Join us for this final "hotpot" session as we bid farewell to Radio ARA with a story of integration, ambition, and the power of representation.

In this warm and reflective episode, host Victoria is joined by Cui Hongmin and returning guest Angela Tang for a cozy conversation on yoga, travel, and life’s deeper meaning. Hongmin shares her journey of training of a classical Hatha yoga teacher during an immersive 21-week stay at the Isha Yoga Centre in India, while Angela brings stories and insights from her travels around the world. Together, they draw thoughtful parallels between practising yoga and exploring new places — both paths of self-discovery that invite presence, openness, and change.
