Haha I made my wife addicted to the korean 'dramas', too- once we start one, she has to finish it wihtin a few days (usaully 20+ 1hr episodes). pretty hard work for me though, since I have to do simulteneous translations (we watch off the web). I've been refusing to start a new one for past few months ..^^

I've been to Taipai last summer- a great city, but just a little too hot for me
speaking of ladies, my wife is 3/8 japanese+ native taiwanese and raised in the states. (our kid's going to be a 'neo-asian' haha) my exposure to HK/Chinese music is through her. oh, btw, she, too wants the steinway..*_*

best luck with everything !!

Scottie,
what a Nice system and beautiful familiy :)
I too came to the States ~ 10 years ago from Asia (S.Korea) and recently married a Taiwanese-Ameraican wife ;)

Funny, our musical taste overlap alot (even with classicals) ;) -but no Sammi? (sp?)

you might wanna look into the new BW S or D series for upgrades. I heard the 803D and boy.. what a speaker!

btw, is the lady of the house Japanese? just a pure guess
Cheers!
Jay
