The book is written in the first person and parallels the encounter one has as you enter a new culture - starting with "Eating Hong Kong" (by a nutritionist). The chapters, written primarily by Fulbright scholars working in Hong Kong on general education, bring both a disciplinary perspective and a great interest in general education or liberal arts curricula. These scholars are inherently interdisciplinary, curious, generalists, educators, and communicators. As such, they are capable of analysing/ understanding Hong Kong from multiple perspectives- and of teaching the reader to do so as well. This book in 14 chapters is specifically published for the purpose of modelling for students how disciplinary lenses offer different ways of encountering a new culture, and the book offers frameworks out of which to begin to understand another culture and place. It has a target audience of students going abroad (to any place), Fulbright scholars going abroad, and interdisciplinary seminars. It is inspired by the concept of "city" as text.
