I'm a copy editor and writer who has worked in East Asia, including Taipei, Beijing and Hong Kong, for a decade. I have been a copy editor at a couple of newspapers and Hong Kong's largest chamber of commerce. I mostly write about travel and books now, but I've also written about China, Taiwan and Hong Kong issues, slum tourism, and profiled some well-known authors. My blog can be viewed at hcyip.wordpress.com and my writing portfolio can be seen here.
If you would like to contact me, feel free to send me an email.
My work has been published in Foreign Policy, TimeOut Hong Kong, Asia Review of Books, Hong Kong Free Press, City Weekend Beijing, Global Times, and China Daily.
These include travel articles for newspapers and magazines and dozens of book reviews. I've also written opinion pieces about Hong Kong business; features articles about Taiwan universities, auction houses, and slum tourism; and interviewed several authors including 2017 Nobel Economics Prize laureate Richard Thaler when he visited Taiwan in 2009. I also wrote a weekly newspaper sports column, mainly about football, from 2014 to 2017.
I am from the country of Trinidad and Tobago, a small two-island nation in the Caribbean that gave the world the steelpan and was a British colony until 1962, when it gained its independence. Famous people from Trinidad include VS Naipaul, the Nobel Literature Prize laureate; Brian Lara, one of the greatest cricket batsmen of all time; and Dwight Yorke, the former Manchester United star striker who helped them win the treble in 1999, as well as a notoriously crooked former FIFA vice president who I shall not name.
My native language is English, which is Trinidad's official language (not Spanish as some people assume). I'm also conversational in Cantonese, which I spoke growing up, and Mandarin.
