I used to think that my wife was strange every time I found her watching Chinese or Korean movies in their original languages. Sometomes I would sit there and watch whatever she was watching just because I did not want to be selfish and ask her to change the channel. Did I understand any of it? Ofcourse not!

A while after starting the NCTA seminar, we purchased an internationa dish and receiver (The majority of channels are East Asian). Now I find myself doing what my wife used to do. The only difference is that instead of following the story and laughing or crying. I watch the details, like what they eat, how they do things, what the home decorations look like. what kind of cars are driven, and many other cultural and noncultural deatails. Now my wife is not strane to me because I'm doing the same thing she used to do. It is interesting, and it is all Clay's fault.

Try it. You will enjoy it too.
