I lived in Hong Kong for most of my childhood but I never had any
interest in the pop culture over there. When I moved to India I started
missing HK a lot so I tried to keep in touch with the culture. When I saw
the GA about this forum I came and checked it out. I watched ISWAK out
of nostalgia (since it was in Mandarin and I used to learn Mandarin in
school). I got bored after about ten episodes, then I came back after a
couple of months, finished ISWAK and DBY and got hooked!
Now I love the music as well. Before I used to find eastern languages
grating but now I love to hear them.
No, I don;t feel very different from my friends - at least not more than I
used to before. I was always Hong Kong obsessed so my friends see my
Asian TV addiction as part of that.
