"China Normal" at School

Yesterday, Kiana came home and described a "China Normal" moment at school. In other words, a normal moment at school in China, that would never have happened in the US in the same way.

The 12 students in Language Arts were sitting on couches watching a movie.
The DVD (purchased at a local store) said "Property of ... do not copy."
The movie was PG-13, watched without parental permission slips required.
The 4 kids on Kiana's couch were from 3 different countries.
There were fireworks going off outside and no one appeared to notice.

This is China.

LOL. Love it! Yeah, it's so weird to NOT have fireworks going off all the time, that's for sure! We actually heard some the other day, and it took us a while to realize that is what it was and bother to wonder what they were for, considering that we are not in China. Though there is a Chinese restaurant in our little village, maybe they added a dish to their menu. :-)
