It is the last week of summer school at Austin High School. My students have done very well, especially in cooking and in math this session. All of my guys are studying hard in communication this summer, and making good grades. Tomorrow we will go on a field trip in the afternoon to Deep Eddy Pool. It should be fun.
Barry & I recently watched a Korean movie called MARATHON about a young athelete in Korea who just happened to have autism. My friend from Hangul 1 class loaned to us over the summer while she was visiting Korea. It is a powerful story of self-determination and finding one' niche in the world. I highly recommend it.
Right now we are watching the 1993 Japanese drama DOUBLE KITCHENS about a young married couple who live with the groom's family in an adjacent town home, hence the name double kitchen. His parents are very traditional. There are still two sisters living at home when the drama begins, but slowly they grow up, marry and seek jobs or start a family of their own. The young couple are busy with work and learning how to navigate newlywed life with all the formalities of family matters and tradition. It is cute and funny.
If you really want to see a great Korean drama try one of these:
I'm Sorry I Love You - old favorite, jealousy, glamour and suspense
Sweet Love - innocent, heartwarming and romantic
or
Save the Last Dance for Me - wow a new favorite!!! This is a heart wrenching rollercoaster of events. I highly recommend it.
