As I was preparing to leave following the afternoon classes today, Cate came to me with a rather unusual request. A woman needed a native English speaker to narrate a brief audio tour that her son had written for a historic site here. Cate wanted to help the woman, so she asked me if I would mind reading the script. Naturally, I said that it would be no trouble at all.
The script was only a page long, so it really wasn't much of an imposition. Of course, there were several Korean names and places that Cate had to teach me how to pronounce, but other than that, it was a very easy endeavor. I hate the way my voice sounds on the recording, but oh well. It was kind of fun to help out the local tourism industry. Afterwards, as I was heading out the door of the school, Cate called me back. Apparently, the grateful woman had left a gift for me. When I got home and unwrapped it, I was a bit mystified and quite amused. The woman had given me a huge box of Vitamin C!
