All too often, foreigners are criticized for not understanding a culture if they think something is absurd or ridiculous. The way Keli distinctly points to the rules that serve such strange purposes and the staff (e.g. maids and seat belt police) absurdities is both a candid and sarcastic approach to reconciling our cultural differences in a way that allows the global community to progress constructively. Thank you Keli Moore for your insight into HK. Looking forward to more of your writing. -The Carbon Pig This type of insightful and provocative writing that isn’t afraid to point out the sometime uncomfortable differences between cultures is what’s needed more.

The way you write makes it easy for me to live vicariously through your experiences. Your life sounds very exciting from your day at the beach to transcribing an interview with the Dali Lama. I look forward to reading more of you stories. I love your story… The way you write makes it easy for me to live vicariously through your experiences.
