    Expected a big hoopla, especially as an Asian- American. Severely disappointed by six, sparsely located stations with "Asian" arts and crafts for kindergartners at best. Run by well-meaning but not knowledgeable staff. The 20 minute show was the highlight done by young teenagers and college kids - not perfect, but they gave it their all. Overall poor impression and a grand waste of money. Better luck at a local Asian American church where at least the old ladies whip up good food for minimal cost or free. Collapse
