I have decided to become an ignorant person. I am tired of listening to news that is all negatively spun about world events that are so horrible that I just want to tune it out. However, as I prefer to wake up to music on those mornings that I really do have to than to be rudely awakened by that alarm clock that can't help but buzz or ring to no end. So, I found it necessary to search out a radio station that wouldn't barrage me with facts of the latest war, traffic accident or just incorrect weather forecasts. The good news, is that I found one...

I suppose you are wondering how I managed to do that? Easy. I found a station that has virtually no spoken English! It is mostly in Chinese (either Cantonese or Mandarin) and has international music programs throughout the day. So, I get music and no bad news. If you are interested in taking a listen, you can get live feed from FM96.1, Fairchild Radio. In fact, I now listen to it at the office! Check it out, if you like. You might like it.

Over the weekend, I came across the word transculturalism in a magazine. It seems like a very interesting concept and I wanted to find out more about it. Although I couldn't fine that word in the dictionary, I did come across the adjective transcultural, which is defined as involving, encompassing, or extending across two or more cultures . Interesting word and the concept is quite interesting as well. I didn't know that one could trademark a word but you might want to take a look at the website.

What do you think?
