Abstract
A journey in search of intercultural research in Hong Kong (China) has highlighted some fundamental differences between research conducted in Asia and previous projects in Europe with regard to the conceptual approach to field research. This paper is intended to present an experience rather than a research report. In particular, it will describe in detail culturally related barriers to entering the research field as well as getting access to Western and Chinese research participants. Finally, recommendations are made regarding how to maintain dignity with regards to science, research subjects and the researcher him-/herself. The paper is a case description of intercultural contact within the context of research. The intention is to illustrate the gap between knowledge of research methods and logistical aspects of doing intercultural research.
