-Hong Kong -lies on China's south coast.	0:00:03	0:00:06
-At 426 miles square, -it's half the size of Ceredigion.	0:00:06	0:00:11
-With a population -of seven million...	0:00:12	0:00:14
-..it's one of the most densely -populated areas in the world.	0:00:15	0:00:19
-In amongst the cosmopolitan mix, -there are Welsh people.	0:00:19	0:00:23
-Solicitors, bankers and teachers -who have all settled here.	0:00:24	0:00:28
-If people have exported themselves -here, what about the Welsh goods...	0:00:29	0:00:33
-..that have made their way here too?	0:00:33	0:00:36
-I'm Steffan Rhodri -and I'm on a journey...	0:00:38	0:00:41
-..to discover how Welsh produce -is influencing...	0:00:42	0:00:45
-..one of the world's -international money capitals.	0:00:45	0:00:49
-In this programme, I find out more -about three Welsh companies...	0:00:49	0:00:54
-..that have found a market -in the Land of the Dragon.	0:00:54	0:00:58
-I could talk all day long -about the wonders of lamb.	0:01:11	0:01:15
-Its taste, its appearance...	0:01:15	0:01:17
-..the wonderful aroma -when it's cooking.	0:01:17	0:01:20
-But what I didn't know...	0:01:20	0:01:22
-..was that 100 million worth -of Welsh lamb is exported each year.	0:01:23	0:01:28
-And the journey begins -on farms such as this.	0:01:28	0:01:31
-Cae Iago is situated in Llanwrin, -a village north of Machynlleth.	0:01:37	0:01:42
-Edryd is the farmer.	0:01:42	0:01:44
-Gruff, his shepherd, has been -working on the farm for 60 years.	0:01:44	0:01:49
-We're on our way -to fetch a flock of lambs...	0:01:49	0:01:52
-..that are about to meet their fate.	0:01:52	0:01:55
-How long has your family lived here?	0:01:59	0:02:01
-How long has your family lived here? - -Over 100 years.	0:02:01	0:02:03
-My family's from Aberangell -originally.	0:02:03	0:02:07
-My grandfather bought the farm.	0:02:08	0:02:10
-It's in a wonderful location.	0:02:10	0:02:13
-Yes. The Dyfi Valley -is a very nice place to live.	0:02:13	0:02:18
-Edryd's lambs...	0:02:18	0:02:20
-..will be taken to an abattoir -in Newtown.	0:02:21	0:02:23
-The meat is then packed and sent to -distributors and five-star hotels.	0:02:24	0:02:29
-Producers say the natural, -pure taste of the lamb...	0:02:29	0:02:33
-..is the reason for its success -worldwide.	0:02:33	0:02:36
-They also say it's down to minerals -and vitamins in the pasture.	0:02:37	0:02:41
-Montgomeryshire's rainfall -plays its part too, I bet!	0:02:42	0:02:45
-He's caught them now.	0:02:46	0:02:48
-He's caught them now. - -Yes, he's seen them.	0:02:48	0:02:50
-What about the three -that were over there?	0:02:50	0:02:53
-Yes, and those.	0:02:53	0:02:54
-HE WHISTLES	0:02:56	0:02:58
-How many will you take?	0:03:00	0:03:01
-About 55 of them.	0:03:02	0:03:05
-And these are the organic ones?	0:03:05	0:03:06
-And these are the organic ones? - -Yes.	0:03:06	0:03:07
-Once the lambs are penned, -they are weighed...	0:03:13	0:03:16
-..to make sure -they're ready for sale.	0:03:16	0:03:19
-That one has good hind quarters.	0:03:19	0:03:22
-We'll make a farmer of him yet. -How much does he weigh?	0:03:27	0:03:32
-He's the right weight. 31.	0:03:32	0:03:33
-He's the right weight. 31. - -No. You're leaning on the scales.	0:03:33	0:03:35
-Yes, that's fine to export. -Mark him.	0:03:37	0:03:41
-On his shoulder?	0:03:41	0:03:42
-On his shoulder? - -Yes.	0:03:42	0:03:44
-How long have you been -farming organically?	0:03:44	0:03:47
-I've been faming organically -since 2003.	0:03:48	0:03:52
-It took us a while -to make the decision...	0:03:52	0:03:56
-..because -it's a major step to take.	0:03:56	0:03:58
-We had to change -our farming methods completely.	0:03:59	0:04:02
-But we've gradually settled into it -and it's going well now.	0:04:02	0:04:08
-What difference -has organic farming made...	0:04:08	0:04:12
-..to the quality and taste -of the meat?	0:04:12	0:04:15
-These are mountain sheep -and they graze on pasture.	0:04:18	0:04:23
-They aren't fed concentrates...	0:04:23	0:04:25
-..only in winter -when it's really cold.	0:04:25	0:04:28
-So an animal that eats grass -is going to taste of it.	0:04:29	0:04:34
-It gives the meat a sweet taste.	0:04:35	0:04:37
-How does it make you feel -that your Montgomeryshire lambs...	0:04:38	0:04:42
-..are exported -all the way to Hong Kong...	0:04:43	0:04:46
-..and cooked out there?	0:04:47	0:04:49
-It gives me a real buzz factor.	0:04:49	0:04:53
-It puts Wales on the map -and that's very important nowadays.	0:04:55	0:04:59
-As a nation, it's important -that we keep striving...	0:05:00	0:05:04
-..to improve our produce.	0:05:04	0:05:07
-I'll see you in Hong Kong, girls.	0:05:07	0:05:10
-Boys and girls.	0:05:11	0:05:12
-Sorry, boys and girls.	0:05:13	0:05:15
-Plenty of Welsh farmers -have had to diversify...	0:05:20	0:05:24
-..in order -to keep their businesses afloat...	0:05:24	0:05:27
-..by making cheese or ice cream -or by branching into B&B.	0:05:28	0:05:32
-I'm on my way to meet -a Carmarthenshire farmer...	0:05:32	0:05:36
-..who's gone down -an entirely different route.	0:05:36	0:05:40
-He now sells his -extraordinary produce across Asia.	0:05:40	0:05:44
-Shanghai, Beijing, Malaysia, -Hong Kong and Japan...	0:05:45	0:05:49
-..are marketplaces for Wellbeing -Skincare, a fledgling company...	0:05:49	0:05:53
-..which started out -in this farmhouse.	0:05:54	0:05:57
-Owner, Ieuan Nicholas...	0:05:57	0:05:59
-..had previously worked -for skincare companies...	0:05:59	0:06:02
-..before starting his own business -back home in Wales.	0:06:02	0:06:06
-We're here -in your family's farmhouse...	0:06:11	0:06:14
-..but you've created a totally new -business venture from here.	0:06:14	0:06:18
-Yes. A skincare line which is -organic and totally natural.	0:06:18	0:06:23
-We make moisturizers, -exfoliators and cleansers.	0:06:23	0:06:28
-We also produce our own tea.	0:06:29	0:06:32
-What inspired you -to start this business?	0:06:32	0:06:37
-My own skin, to be honest.	0:06:37	0:06:40
-I have typically Celtic skin.	0:06:40	0:06:44
-Red hair, white skin, freckles.	0:06:44	0:06:48
-I developed skin problems -such as dermatitis and eczema.	0:06:48	0:06:53
-The majority of products -on the market just didn't work.	0:06:53	0:06:57
-Over the years, I've been developing -skincare products for myself...	0:06:57	0:07:02
-..but last year...	0:07:02	0:07:05
-..I started a company, -selling these products.	0:07:05	0:07:10
-In the beginning, I thought -of growing all the plants myself.	0:07:12	0:07:16
-But as time went on, the demand -for the products increased.	0:07:16	0:07:21
-It became obvious that the only way -to expand the business...	0:07:21	0:07:25
-..was to have other people -cultivate the plants on our behalf.	0:07:26	0:07:30
-We're on our way to see -some of Ieuan's plants...	0:07:30	0:07:33
-..being grown in a nursery -near Llandysul.	0:07:34	0:07:36
-The company prides itself -on the fact...	0:07:37	0:07:40
-..that the ingredients -are fresh and organic.	0:07:40	0:07:43
-Nurseries such as these -cultivate a wide range of plants.	0:07:45	0:07:49
-Rosemary, aloe vera, jojoba, -cucumber, oranges...	0:07:49	0:07:53
-..witch hazel, lavender, -honey and beeswax too.	0:07:53	0:07:57
-The place is one long corridor -of polytunnels...	0:07:57	0:08:00
-..enabling the company -to grow the plants all year round.	0:08:01	0:08:04
-What do we have here?	0:08:07	0:08:08
-We have lots of different kinds -of plants in here...	0:08:09	0:08:14
-..that can be turned into -skincare products.	0:08:14	0:08:17
-The largest quantity of plants -we grow...	0:08:17	0:08:21
-..are lavender and aloe vera.	0:08:21	0:08:24
-How many plants do you grow -in total?	0:08:24	0:08:27
-About 500 aloe vera plants.	0:08:27	0:08:31
-And 600 lavender.	0:08:32	0:08:35
-And this nursery -is growing them on your behalf.	0:08:35	0:08:41
-Yes, on our behalf.	0:08:41	0:08:43
-Starting out, -we grew all the plants on the farm.	0:08:43	0:08:47
-But as the business grew...	0:08:47	0:08:50
-..we had to find a third party -to grow them for us.	0:08:50	0:08:53
-These are familiar plants.	0:08:54	0:08:57
-I've seen them in people's homes.	0:08:58	0:09:00
-Perhaps people don't realize -this plant is aloe vera.	0:09:00	0:09:04
-Historically, aloe vera has -been used for medicinal purposes.	0:09:04	0:09:09
-When it comes to skincare...	0:09:10	0:09:12
-..for cuts and wounds or sunburn...	0:09:12	0:09:16
-..the plant stem -can be split open...	0:09:17	0:09:20
-..and the liquid inside can -be applied directly onto the skin.	0:09:20	0:09:24
-It helps soothe the burn...	0:09:24	0:09:27
-..and aids the healing process.	0:09:27	0:09:29
-Let's take a few of them down -to the laboratory.	0:09:29	0:09:33
-I'll give you a hand.	0:09:33	0:09:35
-Off we go.	0:09:37	0:09:39
-The work of extracting and bottling -the liquids happens twice a year...	0:09:41	0:09:46
-..over a two-day period when -the plants are fresh and mature.	0:09:46	0:09:51
-Wellbeing produces 5,000 bottles -of each liquid.	0:09:51	0:09:54
-What do we have here then?	0:10:01	0:10:03
-Ieuan's company already produces -three kinds of face cream.	0:10:04	0:10:08
-But in this small barn...	0:10:08	0:10:10
-..a new product is currently -being developed for the market.	0:10:10	0:10:15
-Explain to me how you'd go about -developing a skincare product.	0:10:15	0:10:21
-First, the computer works out -if the ingredients can be combined.	0:10:21	0:10:25
-We're working on a brand new -foot tonic at the moment.	0:10:26	0:10:31
-Hopefully, it'll be on the market -in a couple of months.	0:10:31	0:10:35
-Once the computer process is -completed, I then follow it through.	0:10:35	0:10:40
-The first thing to do...	0:10:40	0:10:42
-..is open up the aloe barbadensis.	0:10:44	0:10:48
-What are the company's future plans?	0:10:48	0:10:51
-We want to crack the overseas market -first.	0:10:51	0:10:54
-This year we're focusing -on the home market too.	0:10:55	0:10:58
-Wales as well as Britain.	0:10:59	0:11:01
-Where are you looking to develop -the overseas market?	0:11:01	0:11:07
-We're currently focusing on salons -in Beijing and Shanghai...	0:11:07	0:11:11
-..and we're trying -to break into Hong Kong too.	0:11:12	0:11:15
-I feel like a chef...	0:11:15	0:11:17
-..rather than a scientist -making skincare products.	0:11:17	0:11:20
-It's a similar process.	0:11:21	0:11:22
-What is it that makes you want -to develop this market in China?	0:11:23	0:11:28
-They like using natural products.	0:11:28	0:11:33
-They look for brands that have been -manufactured in the West.	0:11:33	0:11:37
-And quality products.	0:11:38	0:11:39
-After mixing the ingredients...	0:11:43	0:11:45
-..it's my turn to try out -the new recipe on my own skin.	0:11:45	0:11:49
-It smells lovely. I'd be happy to -have someone rub this into my feet.	0:11:54	0:11:59
-I can see how a number of factors -came together at the right time.	0:12:03	0:12:07
-Ieuan's background -in the cosmetics industry...	0:12:08	0:12:11
-..skin problems of his own...	0:12:11	0:12:13
-..his upbringing on a farm...	0:12:13	0:12:15
-..and a demand from overseas markets -for natural, organic products.	0:12:16	0:12:21
-But these markets also have money -to spend on western products.	0:12:24	0:12:29
-I'm about to see for myself.	0:12:29	0:12:31
-.	0:12:36	0:12:37
-888	0:12:39	0:12:39
-888 - -888	0:12:39	0:12:41
-My search for Welsh produce around -the world brings me to Hong Kong.	0:12:43	0:12:47
-Ieuan Nicholas, the producer of a -skincare brand, is there to meet me.	0:12:48	0:12:54
-He's in Hong Kong -to try and expand his market.	0:12:54	0:12:58
-An astounding 85% of Wellbeing's -market is already in China.	0:12:59	0:13:03
-But considering...	0:13:03	0:13:05
-..its densely populated cities -and environmental pollution...	0:13:05	0:13:09
-..it's inevitable that a skincare -line would find a market here.	0:13:09	0:13:13
-China is the world's -second largest economy...	0:13:16	0:13:19
-..with a wealthy and indulgent -middle class.	0:13:20	0:13:23
-Hello.	0:13:36	0:13:37
-It's nice to see you again. -It's busy here.	0:13:38	0:13:41
-How long have you been in Hong Kong?	0:13:41	0:13:44
-A couple of days. The business -is going well - it's great.	0:13:44	0:13:47
-You're taking me to a salon -where your products are used.	0:13:48	0:13:52
-Yes. Come and join me.	0:13:52	0:13:54
-We're on our way to Spa Ph+...	0:13:59	0:14:02
-..in the exclusive Causeway Bay -region on the northern shore.	0:14:03	0:14:07
-How are you associated -with this salon?	0:14:10	0:14:13
-The salon has our products on trial -for the next six months.	0:14:13	0:14:18
-They'll then decide -if they want to stock them.	0:14:19	0:14:23
-Is this the only salon to do this -in Hong Kong and China?	0:14:23	0:14:29
-Two places in Hong Kong currently -have our line on a trial basis.	0:14:29	0:14:33
-We established ourselves in China -about 18 months ago.	0:14:33	0:14:38
-They purchase from us.	0:14:38	0:14:40
-So we're breaking into a new market. -That's the reason we're here.	0:14:40	0:14:45
-The Hong Kong workforce -is renowned for its hard work.	0:14:50	0:14:54
-Long hours, stress and few breaks. -It's no wonder that salons do well.	0:14:55	0:15:00
-It's an opportunity -to be pampered and massaged...	0:15:00	0:15:04
-..away from the daily grind.	0:15:04	0:15:06
-Welcome to Spa Ph+ -in the centre of Hong Kong.	0:15:14	0:15:19
-You need to sign in.	0:15:19	0:15:22
-I'm here to try out the products in -the salon's luxurious surroundings.	0:15:24	0:15:29
-SHE SPEAKS MANDARIN	0:15:37	0:15:39
-She's going to cleanse my skin.	0:15:43	0:15:45
-This is June.	0:15:51	0:15:53
-What type of clients -do you usually get...	0:15:58	0:16:01
-..apart from travelling actors?	0:16:01	0:16:04
-My clients are office workers -and pensioners!	0:16:06	0:16:11
-Do you think that living in -bustling city, such as Hong Kong...	0:16:11	0:16:17
-..is damaging to the skin?	0:16:17	0:16:19
-With so much pollution and dry air, -it certainly affects the skin.	0:16:25	0:16:31
-This is a wonderful way of relaxing.	0:16:34	0:16:37
-Do you think people come here, -not only to improve their skin...	0:16:37	0:16:41
-..but to have some quiet time -to themselves...	0:16:42	0:16:45
-..away from the bustling city?	0:16:45	0:16:47
-Life can be stressful and frenetic.	0:16:48	0:16:53
-Many clients come here to relax. -It's a break from their busy lives.	0:16:53	0:16:59
-I'm sure this is doing my skin -a world of good...	0:16:59	0:17:03
-..but apart from that, -it's a lovely sensation.	0:17:03	0:17:08
-I can understand why people have -facials. I should do it more often.	0:17:08	0:17:13
-How did it go? Did you enjoy it?	0:17:23	0:17:25
-Yes, very much so.	0:17:26	0:17:27
-I can understand why people -come here for facials and a massage.	0:17:28	0:17:32
-It totally relaxes a person.	0:17:32	0:17:34
-Men aren't good -at looking after their skin.	0:17:34	0:17:37
-How do you see the company -developing in future?	0:17:37	0:17:42
-What's the future for you?	0:17:42	0:17:44
-We have to work in partnership -with these places...	0:17:44	0:17:48
-..because they deliver high quality.	0:17:48	0:17:51
-For us as a company...	0:17:51	0:17:53
-..we'd like Wellbeing Skincare...	0:17:54	0:17:57
-..to be the biggest independent -skincare manufacturer in Britain...	0:17:57	0:18:02
-..within the next 8-10 years.	0:18:02	0:18:04
-How do I look?	0:18:05	0:18:07
-I think you look great.	0:18:07	0:18:09
-Good.	0:18:09	0:18:10
-I have some free time -to go and explore Hong Kong.	0:18:13	0:18:17
-Tomorrow, I'm meeting Richard Lewis, -known as Lewis y Llaeth back home...	0:18:17	0:18:22
-..vice president -of the Welsh society here.	0:18:22	0:18:25
-He's an example -of how Welsh people...	0:18:26	0:18:28
-..have exported their skills -and settled down here.	0:18:29	0:18:32
-Married to an Australian, they live -in Sai Kung with their young family.	0:18:33	0:18:38
-It's a seaside town, -far from the hustle and bustle.	0:18:39	0:18:42
-But it's pouring with rain today.	0:18:42	0:18:45
-It's nice to shelter from the rain -here in the square in Sai Kung.	0:18:45	0:18:50
-Does the rain remind you of home?	0:18:50	0:18:52
-Yes. It doesn't rain as often here, -but when it does, it's heavy.	0:18:52	0:18:56
-Where's home for you?	0:18:56	0:18:58
-Home is Bynea in Llanelli.	0:18:59	0:19:01
-I'm from the other side -of the river.	0:19:01	0:19:03
-Yes, the right side.	0:19:04	0:19:06
-Was it work -that brought you out here to live?	0:19:06	0:19:10
-Yes, I came out in 2001...	0:19:10	0:19:12
-..on a three-year secondment -with the bank where I work.	0:19:13	0:19:18
-Within weeks -I knew I didn't want to go back.	0:19:18	0:19:23
-I loved the place -and I'm still here.	0:19:23	0:19:26
-Do you get much chance to speak -Welsh? Is there a community here?	0:19:27	0:19:32
-Yes, there's a fairly large Welsh -community of around 4,000 here.	0:19:32	0:19:37
-Not all of them speak Welsh, -of course.	0:19:37	0:19:43
-There's a Welsh society out here...	0:19:43	0:19:46
-..which is well established.	0:19:46	0:19:48
-The society is celebrating -its centenary this year.	0:19:49	0:19:54
-But in the 100 years -since the society was established...	0:19:54	0:19:58
-..Hong Kong has seen dramatic -changes and increasing problems.	0:19:59	0:20:03
-Hong Kong is now one of the world's -most polluted and populated areas.	0:20:03	0:20:08
-Does the pollution bother you?	0:20:10	0:20:12
-Yes, it does.	0:20:13	0:20:14
-Pollution is the biggest problem...	0:20:14	0:20:17
-..facing, not only the people -of Hong Kong...	0:20:17	0:20:20
-..but incomers from overseas -who come here to work.	0:20:21	0:20:24
-People are starting to feel -that the pollution is so bad...	0:20:24	0:20:28
-..that they consider moving away.	0:20:29	0:20:32
-It's bound to affect China -and Hong Kong's relationship...	0:20:32	0:20:36
-..with the rest of the world.	0:20:37	0:20:39
-Is it down to the number of cars -and the overpopulation?	0:20:39	0:20:43
-No, it's not that at all.	0:20:43	0:20:45
-What's causing the problem -is the fact that...	0:20:45	0:20:50
-..all the world's manufacturing -is done here...	0:20:50	0:20:55
-..and the power stations -which generate the electricity...	0:20:55	0:21:00
-..for these factories...	0:21:01	0:21:03
-..pollute the city -and the entire region.	0:21:03	0:21:07
-That's the cause of the problem.	0:21:07	0:21:09
-I'm back on the mainland, -on the south coast...	0:21:28	0:21:31
-..in a region called Aberdeen -and the sun is shining.	0:21:32	0:21:35
-Away from the shops...	0:21:35	0:21:37
-..a cruise around the harbour -is a popular outing for tourists.	0:21:37	0:21:43
-It's also a great way -to see the skyscrapers.	0:21:43	0:21:47
-A flat here -recently sold for 35 million.	0:21:47	0:21:50
-But the harbour itself -is like stepping back in time.	0:22:01	0:22:05
-It feels as if the old and the new -are able to co-exist naturally here.	0:22:05	0:22:10
-That's true -of different religions too.	0:22:11	0:22:15
-The unusual can be seen -around every corner in Hong Kong.	0:22:26	0:22:30
-This is a quiet spot by the sea.	0:22:30	0:22:32
-Some men are gambling -just around the corner.	0:22:32	0:22:35
-Here, there are hundreds of gods...	0:22:36	0:22:38
-..for every religion.	0:22:38	0:22:41
-The Chinese aren't exclusive -about their religions.	0:22:41	0:22:45
-Gods of the Tao religion -and the Buddha...	0:22:45	0:22:48
-..co-exist happily beside the sea.	0:22:48	0:22:51
-Ieuan Nicholas -mentioned the region of Wan Chai...	0:22:55	0:22:59
-..and its alternative medicine -stores.	0:22:59	0:23:02
-This is Chinese tradition.	0:23:03	0:23:04
-Different parts of animals and fish -are used to heal human complaints.	0:23:05	0:23:09
-It's a contentious business, owing -to a reduction in animal numbers.	0:23:10	0:23:15
-But the tradition is an undisputed -belief for many people here.	0:23:16	0:23:20
-What are in the bags there?	0:23:25	0:23:27
-The bags are filled with fish -stomachs that have been dried out.	0:23:33	0:23:39
-It's good for the liver -as well as the respiratory system.	0:23:39	0:23:44
-We use it in soup -and try to eat it once a week.	0:23:45	0:23:50
-It's also good for the elderly -because it boosts calcium levels.	0:23:50	0:23:56
-Ginseng is one thing but I think -I'll pass on fish stomachs.	0:23:56	0:24:01
-A short tram ride away...	0:24:06	0:24:08
-..there's a different kind of shop -selling animals.	0:24:08	0:24:12
-Livestock this time.	0:24:12	0:24:14
-This gentlemen sells snakes -of every description.	0:24:20	0:24:24
-Predominantly to eat.	0:24:25	0:24:27
-I assure you, that's the last time -I go near a live one.	0:24:31	0:24:34
-At least I've kept -the local youngsters entertained.	0:24:35	0:24:38
-To see the city in all its glory, -you have to go upwards.	0:24:49	0:24:53
-And in order to do that, you have to -join the countless other tourists.	0:24:53	0:24:58
-Wow.	0:25:01	0:25:03
-It's worth the effort.	0:25:08	0:25:10
-It's a beautiful city but dirty, -and the dirt is hidden...	0:25:14	0:25:18
-..by the sunset.	0:25:18	0:25:20
-I take a taxi and travel through the -tunnel beneath Victoria Harbour...	0:25:33	0:25:39
-..to Kowloon -to look back across the island...	0:25:39	0:25:43
-..and watch a spectacle you won't -see in any other city in the world.	0:25:43	0:25:48
-Spending the day in Hong Kong -is tiring...	0:25:50	0:25:53
-..but at night there is even more -to see in this amazing city.	0:25:53	0:25:57
-The harbour skyline -is stunning as it is.	0:25:57	0:26:02
-But every night throughout the year -at 8.00pm...	0:26:02	0:26:05
-..crowds are treated -to a show of illuminations.	0:26:05	0:26:09
-This show involves 44 of Hong Kong's -key buildings.	0:26:23	0:26:26
-Lasting 20 minutes and synchronized -to music and narration...	0:26:27	0:26:31
-..it celebrates the energy, -spirit and diversity of the city.	0:26:31	0:26:36
-If ever there were a symbol -of a confident city...	0:26:36	0:26:39
-..it's here, dancing in front of me.	0:26:39	0:26:42
-.	0:26:44	0:26:45
-888	0:26:47	0:26:47
-888 - -888	0:26:47	0:26:49
-My search to find Welsh produce -has led me to Hong Kong.	0:27:00	0:27:03
-An overpopulated -and overcrowded city.	0:27:03	0:27:06
-Though there's a shortage -of outdoor spaces...	0:27:07	0:27:10
-..the locals are still keen -to keep fit...	0:27:11	0:27:14
-..and eat healthily.	0:27:14	0:27:16
-Every morning and night, -people congregate in open spaces.	0:27:16	0:27:21
-Some can be seen dancing -while others practise tai chi.	0:27:21	0:27:25
-People of all ages take part.	0:27:25	0:27:27
-It's good for the heart -and certainly good for the soul.	0:27:28	0:27:32
-And of course, -it brings communities together.	0:27:32	0:27:35
-It's been many years since I tried -tai chi whilst at college.	0:27:35	0:27:41
-But it didn't take much persuasion -for me to give it another go.	0:27:42	0:27:47
-My new friends -even trusted me enough...	0:27:47	0:27:50
-..to practise the movements -with a sword in my hand.	0:27:51	0:27:54
-After that exercise, -it's time to eat healthily.	0:28:09	0:28:12
-I'm on my way -to a Hong Kong food shop...	0:28:13	0:28:15
-..that's home to a little corner -of Wales.	0:28:16	0:28:19
-This is Rice Pro, a shop located in -one of Hong Kong's busiest streets.	0:28:23	0:28:28
-It's an organic shop.	0:28:28	0:28:30
-As you'd expect to find -in any organic shop...	0:28:30	0:28:33
-..there are seeds and rice...	0:28:33	0:28:36
-..and organic meat.	0:28:36	0:28:38
-I've spotted the lamb straightaway.	0:28:38	0:28:42
-This could well be -one of Edryd's lambs.	0:28:42	0:28:46
-It's been frozen, of course.	0:28:46	0:28:48
-Here it is in a shop in Hong Kong.	0:28:49	0:28:51
-Shopkeeper Bicky Wong -started the business six years ago.	0:28:54	0:28:58
-What kind of response have you had -to the Welsh meat? Is it popular?	0:28:59	0:29:05
-We say that it comes from Wales -in Britain.	0:29:08	0:29:13
-Then they feel confident -about the meat.	0:29:13	0:29:17
-They know that Wales -isn't a highly industrial area...	0:29:17	0:29:23
-..so they associate Wales -with nature and wildlife.	0:29:23	0:29:29
-When they realize -that the meat comes from Wales...	0:29:29	0:29:33
-..they have quality assurance -and are confident to buy it.	0:29:34	0:29:41
-It's true, -it comes from a lovely place.	0:29:42	0:29:45
-A remote location -which is picturesque.	0:29:45	0:29:48
-I've been to the farm -where the lamb comes from.	0:29:48	0:29:51
-Tell me how lamb in particular...	0:29:52	0:29:56
-..is part of the Chinese diet.	0:29:56	0:29:59
-Small lambs are very cute -but we live in a concrete jungle.	0:30:06	0:30:12
-We don't see lambs very often -and we think they're beautiful!	0:30:13	0:30:18
-Lamb isn't a part of our daily diet.	0:30:19	0:30:22
-We eat lamb during the festive -season and especially in winter.	0:30:22	0:30:28
-We think that lamb warms the body -and soul and is very beneficial.	0:30:29	0:30:37
-Hello, Bicky.	0:30:39	0:30:41
-And there's more to come.	0:30:41	0:30:43
-Bicky has arranged for me to meet -a chef who regularly buys from her.	0:30:43	0:30:49
-Vivi Chung -runs an organic food restaurant.	0:30:49	0:30:52
-But tonight it's closed because -she's preparing a family meal...	0:30:52	0:30:56
-..to celebrate -the Mid-Autumn Festival.	0:30:56	0:30:59
-I'm going to help Vivi -cook the lamb.	0:31:11	0:31:14
-She's using a lot of other -ingredients too.	0:31:14	0:31:19
-I feel as if I'm on Wedi 3 here!	0:31:19	0:31:21
-I'm not sure -what the dish is called.	0:31:21	0:31:25
-It's a speciality -for tonight's festival.	0:31:25	0:31:28
-Vivi?	0:31:28	0:31:30
-What do you want me to do first?	0:31:30	0:31:33
-SHE SPEAKS NATIVE LANGUAGE	0:31:33	0:31:35
-She wants me to peel the onion.	0:31:36	0:31:39
-This isn't my first experience -of working in a cramped kitchen.	0:31:39	0:31:44
-I used to work for -a catering company at one time...	0:31:44	0:31:48
-..when I was resting -between acting jobs.	0:31:48	0:31:52
-The company I worked for...	0:31:52	0:31:54
-..catered for TV and film crews -and actors.	0:31:54	0:31:58
-During the drama series, Teulu...	0:31:59	0:32:02
-..before joining the cast...	0:32:02	0:32:05
-..I worked in the kitchen -and fed them.	0:32:05	0:32:09
-That was a strange experience.	0:32:09	0:32:11
-SHE SPEAKS IN NATIVE LANGUAGE	0:32:14	0:32:16
-It was then that I found out -how fussy actors can be.	0:32:16	0:32:19
-Do you want me to slice it too?	0:32:20	0:32:21
-OK?	0:32:22	0:32:24
-Mm.	0:32:24	0:32:25
-This stew, using the lamb...	0:32:25	0:32:30
-..is cooked especially -for the Mid-Autumn Festival.	0:32:30	0:32:36
-The festival is celebrated -during the ninth moon.	0:32:36	0:32:41
-That's why it's called -the Mid-Autumn Festival.	0:32:41	0:32:45
-OK?	0:32:45	0:32:46
-Is that good enough?	0:32:47	0:32:49
-OK.	0:32:49	0:32:51
-OK.	0:32:51	0:32:52
-Let me show you this.	0:32:54	0:32:56

-What's she doing now?	0:33:02	0:33:04
-She's putting some kind of marinade -on it.	0:33:04	0:33:07
-Marinade.	0:33:07	0:33:09
-SHE SPEAKS NATIVE LANGUAGE	0:33:09	0:33:12
-It's strange to think that here, -in the centre of Hong Kong...	0:33:16	0:33:20
-..we have Welsh lamb that's grazed -on fresh, green Welsh pasture.	0:33:20	0:33:25
-Right in the centre of Hong Kong.	0:33:25	0:33:28
-What are you adding to it?	0:33:29	0:33:31
-Oil.	0:33:32	0:33:34
-That's OK.	0:33:38	0:33:40
-OK, in it goes.	0:33:41	0:33:43
-Stir them so that they don't burn.	0:33:53	0:33:55

-Leeks from Wales.	0:33:58	0:34:00
-Leeks from Wales. Cennin (leeks).	0:34:00	0:34:03

-She speaks Welsh now!	0:34:05	0:34:07
-Cennin.	0:34:07	0:34:09
-How's that? Is that OK?	0:34:09	0:34:12
-I'm starting to sweat.	0:34:12	0:34:14
-It takes a bit of elbow grease.	0:34:18	0:34:20
-She wants me to add the meat.	0:34:21	0:34:23
-There we are. Welsh lamb.	0:34:23	0:34:26
-Keep stirring.	0:34:31	0:34:32
-Though Vivi and I don't understand -a word of each other's languages...	0:34:37	0:34:41
-..it's nice that we can communicate -through our love of food.	0:34:41	0:34:46
-To be honest, I like the way -she's giving out order.	0:34:46	0:34:50
-And another.	0:34:59	0:35:00
-Wow.	0:35:03	0:35:04
-Ohh!	0:35:04	0:35:06

-It's delicious.	0:35:47	0:35:49
-It's very smooth and tender.	0:35:49	0:35:51
-I didn't see her adding -the spices...	0:35:52	0:35:54
-..but they've given it -an incredible taste.	0:35:55	0:35:58
-Do you want some more? OK.	0:36:01	0:36:03

-Thank you, Vivi. Many thanks -for the warm welcome I've received.	0:36:55	0:36:59
-Thank you very much.	0:37:00	0:37:01
-They're all still having -a good time out there...	0:37:08	0:37:11
-..but Vivi insists -that it's customary in Hong Kong...	0:37:11	0:37:15
-..for the guest to wash up.	0:37:15	0:37:17

-They use a lot of air conditioning.	0:40:28	0:40:31
-Our devices are used to ensure -that air conditioning systems...	0:40:31	0:40:36
-..work effectively...	0:40:37	0:40:39
-..so that the pollution outdoors...	0:40:39	0:40:43
-..doesn't affect the people -who work indoors.	0:40:43	0:40:48
-It's obvious there is concern here.	0:40:48	0:40:51
-These masks covering people's -faces are commonplace in Hong Kong.	0:40:52	0:40:56
-Such a sight is a rarity -back home in Wales.	0:40:58	0:41:01
-The Cibyn company's machines are -installed in offices and homes...	0:41:01	0:41:05
-..to measure -chemicals and temperature.	0:41:06	0:41:09
-What are the positive effects -of using these devices?	0:41:09	0:41:13
-There are two main reasons.	0:41:14	0:41:16
-One is health, of course.	0:41:16	0:41:18
-The health of those who work -and live in these buildings.	0:41:18	0:41:22
-The other reason -is energy conservation.	0:41:22	0:41:27
-Energy wastage is a huge problem -in a place such as this.	0:41:27	0:41:31
-They overwork -the air conditioning...	0:41:31	0:41:36
-..so that it's too cold indoors.	0:41:36	0:41:39
-If they set -a slightly higher temperature...	0:41:39	0:41:43
-..they'd save a fortune -in energy costs.	0:41:43	0:41:46
-It makes it an ideal market -for our products.	0:41:46	0:41:51
-With this market in mind...	0:41:51	0:41:53
-..we set about developing -our devices.	0:41:53	0:41:56
-We've developed them specifically -for this market.	0:41:56	0:42:02
-And you get a nice trip -out to Hong Kong now and again.	0:42:02	0:42:06
-Yes. It's nice here today.	0:42:06	0:42:09
-But I do work hard -while I'm out here.	0:42:10	0:42:13
-I don't doubt that!	0:42:14	0:42:16
-In order to see -how the devices work in an office...	0:42:24	0:42:28
-..John takes me to Science -International Corporation...	0:42:28	0:42:32
-..where they're installed on trial.	0:42:33	0:42:35
-I have to say, -the air in this office feels clean.	0:42:40	0:42:43
-The air conditioning is obviously -switched on and it feels fresh.	0:42:44	0:42:49
-Yes.	0:42:49	0:42:51
-With air conditioning...	0:42:51	0:42:53
-..because it feels nice and cool -here and not too humid...	0:42:53	0:42:58
-..that the levels are fine.	0:42:58	0:43:00
-But what these instruments measure -are parameters...	0:43:00	0:43:04
-..that we're unable to measure -with our noses, as it were.	0:43:04	0:43:09
-There's another over there.	0:43:09	0:43:12
-We're carrying out a survey in this -building to make sure the levels...	0:43:12	0:43:17
-..are what they should be.	0:43:17	0:43:19
-Are there certain levels -to which they have to adhere?	0:43:20	0:43:24
-In Hong Kong, there are guidelines.	0:43:25	0:43:27
-We hope that these guidelines -will eventually become law...	0:43:28	0:43:33
-..in the next year or two.	0:43:33	0:43:37
-Since I've been in Hong Kong...	0:43:45	0:43:47
-..I've noticed the overcrowding -in such a small place.	0:43:48	0:43:52
-The pollution -has been awful at times.	0:43:52	0:43:55
-But in a way, -pollution is good for your business.	0:43:55	0:43:59
-Yes.	0:43:59	0:44:00
-Due to such a high population -and so many vehicles and factories.	0:44:00	0:44:06
-Back in Wales, -as the air is so clean...	0:44:06	0:44:10
-..it's ideal to manufacture -and test our products...	0:44:10	0:44:15
-..because they couldn't be tested -here.	0:44:15	0:44:18
-I reflect on what I saw earlier -at the expo.	0:44:21	0:44:24
-Amid all the pioneering -is a company from Caernarfon.	0:44:24	0:44:28
-Their hope is to break into a market -that is constantly developing...	0:44:28	0:44:33
-..far away from home.	0:44:34	0:44:36
-In the shadow of the skyscrapers in -the island's financial district...	0:44:41	0:44:46
-..stands the Church of St John where -the Welsh male voice choir meets...	0:44:46	0:44:51
-..to rehearse its repertoire.	0:44:51	0:44:53
-A familiar face greets me.	0:44:53	0:44:56
-They're starting to assemble -for choir practice.	0:44:56	0:45:00
-I'm looking forward to hearing you. -When was the choir formed?	0:45:00	0:45:04
-The choir's been going for 32 years.	0:45:04	0:45:06
-It started from the Welsh society, -and it's true what they say.	0:45:07	0:45:11
-When the Welsh go abroad, -one starts a chapel...	0:45:12	0:45:15
-..the second starts a committee...	0:45:15	0:45:17
-..the third starts a Welsh society -and the fourth starts a choir!	0:45:17	0:45:22
-How many members are there?	0:45:22	0:45:24
-There are around 70 voices -in the choir.	0:45:24	0:45:27
-A quarter of them -come from Wales originally...	0:45:27	0:45:31
-..but the others -have some sort of connection too.	0:45:31	0:45:34
-They're about to start, -so shall I take a seat over there?	0:45:35	0:45:39
-No, I think you should join us.	0:45:40	0:45:42
-I've brought something -for you to wear.	0:45:42	0:45:45
-I was afraid -you were going to say that.	0:45:45	0:45:48
-This is special -because it's brand new...	0:45:48	0:45:51
-..unlike Andy's blazer -in Con Passionate.	0:45:52	0:45:55
-Right then.	0:45:55	0:45:57
-# Tonight I lay my head -on the pillow	0:45:57	0:46:01
-# Whilst thinking of you	0:46:02	0:46:07
-# The night will bring you closer	0:46:08	0:46:13
-# You are my enchanted night	0:46:13	0:46:18
-# Tonight I will be thinking of you	0:46:18	0:46:24
-# In my distant hotel room	0:46:24	0:46:28
-# Tomorrow I shall be back -in your company	0:46:29	0:46:34
-# A prisoner freed from his cell	0:46:35	0:46:39
-# Only one more night, -only one more night #	0:46:41	0:46:46
-Hong Kong is a wonderful -and remarkable place.	0:46:46	0:46:49
-There's a dichotomy of contrasts.	0:46:50	0:46:52
-The old and the new...	0:46:52	0:46:54
-..the east and the west, -the light and the dark.	0:46:54	0:46:57
-The yin and the yang.	0:46:58	0:46:59
-The Chinese people -are obsessed about their health.	0:46:59	0:47:03
-It's no wonder in such a bustling -and polluted city as this...	0:47:03	0:47:08
-..that they covet healthy food, -goods and clean air.	0:47:08	0:47:12
-It's refreshing that Welsh companies -are helping to fulfil that desire.	0:47:12	0:47:18
-# Tomorrow I shall return	0:47:18	0:47:25
-# Tomorrow I shall return	0:47:27	0:47:32
-# I shall return #	0:47:35	0:47:43
