One moment changed how she sees something at home: her old drawer with bat-shaped handles. She learned that in Chinese culture, the bat "蝠 (fú)" sounds like "福 (fú)," meaning happiness, so bats symbolize blessings. Now she calls it her "happy drawer." That discovery—seeing beyond the surface to the meaning underneath—echoes the heart of Flipped: don't define a person by first impressions; look closer. And it applies to cultures, too.
This vlog is part treasure hunt, part conversation: from astonishing craftsmanship (yes, even lobsters carved from a single block!) to the joy of discovering the stories behind symbols. When we look deeper, with curiosity and authenticity, the world feels closer.
