Thursday Night in Almaty



Four days of teaching are now complete. Most of today was spent watching and discussing the film, The Miracle Worker. It's a 90 minute film, but we had to stop frequently to explain what was going on, especially if there was a period of intense dialogue. As always, the film's powerful emotional impact was not lost on these prospective teachers, despite the language barrier.

Tonight was the second of two student dinners. Two students with their wives and combined four children joined me along with an interperter. We had a nice time of the home-cooked meal. And then enjoyed a rousing game of "spoons."

Here are a few pictures from class and from dinner.
