Hooked on it.  Getting caught up in a make-believe world is an escape. Learning something from it – now THAT is special.

We grew up watching Chinese martial arts serials.  In a home where we communicated mostly in English, we picked up Cantonese quite rapidly.  We were glued to Louis Cha’s wuxia novels – The Duke of Mount Deer 鹿鼎記 & the Heavenly Sword and Dragon Saber 倚天屠龍記.  Doesn’t hurt that the main actor(s) Tony Leung and Andy Lau were not bad on the eyes.

Now, I watch plenty of Taiwanese and Japanese dramas – it helps the language skills, you know.  Excuse. Excuse.
