The 'Asian' category in the Alice library represents a collection of countries generally thought of as Asian but excluding China, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea and India. Alice has a large enough collection of films from these countries for them to have categories of their own. Here you will find films from Thailand, the Philippines, Taiwan, Vietnam, Singapore and even Mongolia. Check the 'By Country' option on the menu to the left for films from a specific country.
