Just 30 Minutes

About the Book

Just 30 Minutes is the time it takes to travel on the Hong Kong MTR (Mass Transit Railway) from Central Station on Hong Kong Island to its Tsuen Wan Terminus. During a nostalgic return holiday the author meets, in person or in dream, on this crowded train, some of the many remarkable people she knew during her 15 years in Hong Kong. Recollecting their stories encourages her to appreciate the value of all people in all cultures.
