On this week's episode, Vivek is dealing with handymen invading his house and installing a hanging bamboo scaffolding platform through his living room's window on the xxth floor! The hanging bamboo scaffolding is a pretty common practice in Hong Kong, but there is something particularly dangerous about those hanging ones, not erected from the street level up.

Hong Kong has the second-highest life expectancy rate in the world. The city's public health care system is one of the direct reasons for that, even though it is becoming increasingly unmanageable. On this episode, we navigate the public hospital system through Vivek's colonoscopy! Although informative and funny, this episode involves a lot of details related to colonscopy procedures!

For the first episode of the Year of the Dragon, we have a stacked one with a lot of Hong Kong classics. We try to answer many questions: What are the latest rules for Lai See? What is ok to clean and not to clean over the CNY holiday? Why shouldn't you visit your family on the third day of the CNY? Who is the guy standing with a stack of iPhones outside the Central MTR exit?
Mainland tourists took over Hong Kong, Messi came and pissed off the whole city, and the Rod Stewart HK show got cancelled! So much drama!
