We visit San Juan, where one man thinks that the plan proposed by US Congress to address the debt crisis, 鈥渢reats Puerto Rico like a colony.鈥 Then, we go to Lebanon where a Syrian refugee teaches Arabic over the internet. And we hear from an Arabic student who's been studying the language for 25 years. Plus, we meet a Yemeni beekeeper preserving his country's traditions, an artist who enlisted in the Marines to make better art, and an Egyptian jukebox repairman boogying to Elvis Presley.
