“When we travelled around the world, he dragged me to do the site inspection to check out Irish pubs in the new country or city, whatever; I started to get used to that anyways.” Moving to a rural part of Galway was a culture shock. They lived with her then fiance’s family on their farm in Kilreekil, between Loughrea and Ballinasloe.
Ho was elected Junior Chamber Ireland national president in 2021, the first non-European to hold the title in its history. She also noticed that people in Ireland prefer speaking on the phone or in person to get things done more quickly, rather than through email, which is the norm in Hong Kong. You probably don’t have that kind of friendliness in Hong Kong, because Hong Kong people, we are so efficient, they don’t care about you that much
Ho got married in Galway in 2019, and her family and friends came over from Hong Kong to celebrate. They had a part-Irish, part-Hong Kong/Cantonese wedding, with traditions from both countries.
