Visions - June 2016
This weekend, it's a special Visions 2016, celebrating Asian American and Pacific Islander history and heritage. Nydia Han hosts as we take you to the Chinese Lantern Festival. We'll check out Susanna Foo's newest restaurant venture, and go on a Cambodian tasting tour. We also visit Asian markets serving up a taste of home.
