Yuet Tung
Aged 31 from Hong Kong
Yuet Tung is her Chinese name, but in English she’s known as Clara. She came to the US eight years ago and studied fine art. Now she works on Madison Avenue for publisher. She married a Vietnamese American three years ago, and they live in Long Island. They don’t have any children yet.
What does she think of living in New York? It’s very similar to Hong Kong. It’s a busy city, very exciting and people walk very fast! I like the stores here. They’re hung, and it’s cheaper than Hong Kong. But you need a car here. In Hong Kong everyone uses public transportation, because it’s good and it’s cheap. At first I hated driving here, but it’s OK now.
What does she like best? The space Here I live in a house with a yard. In Hong Kong it is so crowded. And the people are friendly. When I go jogging, everyone says “Hi!” And the food is from every country in the world.
