But for me there was still some worthwhile cultural stuff to observe between the family members.

I can see how such a misunderstanding could lead to huge troubles in America. I have actually done a similar <a href="http://summersupdate.blogspot.com/2008/06/chinese-massage-therapy-sucks-my.html" rel="nofollow">massage treatment</a> here in China and it left quite the marks on my back for nearly two weeks. I'm going to see if I can get my hands on that movie somewhere. I'd be interested to check it out. Thanks for the review! That second movie, 刮痧, sounds very interesting.
