We watched a presentation, in English, on US history at Vipti's school.
It was classic Indonesian powerpoint with a lot of color, background, and jumping letters. It took five minutes to load.
It was really good! The students in the class probably knew more about US history that US students! They covered the Revolution to the Civil War in 20 minutes. It was very impressive.
There were some funny interpretations
George Washington was "America's big commander"
Slavery was "taper bondage"
Carpetbaggers were an "ethnic group"
but the best was the discussion of anti-tax sentiments and the tea party -- with the text imposed over a background picture of Che Guevera (noted anti tax activist)
