Every month, Take 5 sees a PRD resident answer five questions on whatever our editors feel like asking.

Hailing from the Land Down Under, Harry Harding is Guangzhou’s most recognizable radio and television host. Better known around town as Hazza, Harding has been with Guangdong Radio and Television for just over four years and, by his own admission, he’s “still loving it!” 

1. We’re sure working in TV and radio is generally awesome. So what’s the least enjoyable aspect about being on air?
The makeup. And the lights. And then the sweat from the lights. And then the makeup stains on your collar. You can probably understand why I don’t own too many white shirts.  

2. What is your favorite part about living in Guangzhou?
Even though I don't like the traffic, it's still the perfect excuse for whenever you are actually running a bit late, and nobody will blame you if you are ‘stuck in traffic’ when you actually forgot to set your alarm. But in all seriousness, it would have to be the food. I'm officially a Cantonese food addict! I love myself some 烧肉 (roast meat) and 白切鸡 (white sliced chicken).  

3. Least favorite dim sum dish and why?
Anything with wheat as I am gluten free, which pretty much means I don’t like dim sum at all. 

4. First date location: KTV or a bowling alley?
Definitely KTV! You can sing a couple of my original songs in KTVs here in China, so being able to order and sing your own song in karaoke is a good way to impress people I guess. Besides, I’m terrible at bowling. 

5. Who would win in a fight, Jackie Chan or Bruce Lee?
Definitely Jackie Chan, unless someone finds a way to bring people back from the dead, then the winner would definitely be Bruce Lee.
