Today was the end of the semester. It was officially a testing day but, it should have been referred to as "Watch a Video at School" Day! However, I greatly enjoyed a conversation with a young lady during lunch. She is of Vietnamese background. Her mother and her aunts own a local nail salon. Recently between customers they have been totally engrossed in a soap opera...but not just any soap opera. This soap opera truly took International co-operation!
Her Uncle downloaded and recorded the program off of the Internet. He lives in New York. He then mailed the DVDs to his sisters in Charlotte. He has sent over 200 hours (that's right...200 hours.. of the downloaded soap to his sisters.) As it was explained to me, the soap is all Korean actors, performing an American script and dubbed into Vietnamese! It took me a few moments to process that!
Again, I learned something new as I am enjoying my "Observations as a High School Sub!"
