Where we live the big cultural opportunity is the kids get to raise 4H animals for auction after they turn 9yrs old. But everybody hunts deer, so maybe you can call it dissecting when you cut them up to make tamales. Lol, joke.
For Chinese there's Active Chinese . Com, Skyppe tutors, or like I did buy a region 0 DVD player online and Chinese dvd's (we have Cars, Monsters Inc., and ((blushes)) Kung Fu Panda. (go ahead, egg me for that one). NASCO catalog sells a little pig you can dissect. Yes, I have too much time on my hands. And the hubby moved me too far away from Walmart and the mall to do my impulse shopping there. If you find a good place to live you can always vacation cool places.
Raleigh N.C. has gotten good reviews and they have a intellectual college crowd, beach/marine bio stuff nearby, and Duke Tip kids programs. I'll keep dreaming and posting.
