What a great post! I–an American–spent last 4th of July sitting at an American School in Cairo, Egypt. Despite it being an “American” school, no one seemed to realize it was Independence Day….
Thanks for the comment.
That’s odd. Looking back on my teachers I’m almost certain in that situation they would have used July 4th as an opportunity to throw away their lesson plan and spend the next hour making a clumsy analogy between American Independence and the Arab Spring.
