On Wednesday, I met up with several of the folks in our TEFL class and several of our friends from Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. I have adopted Rashid and Hussein as my unofficial conversation partners. Jamie and I are both helping Hussein plan a trip to DC and places in the area when his wife comes to visit.
Rashid and I shared guava-flavored shisha and vanilla tea, both excellent flavors that he recommended. We talked fishing for awhile (a favorite pastime of his in Kuwait), and I told him that I would like to go with him sometime. I was really excited for him because he found out today that he got accepted into TCC. He plans to major in computer science.
I have picked up some Arabic culture here and there. “Debka” is a dance that men in Saudi Arabia do. Also, they have this finger snape thing they do—all of us Americans were trying to do with no success.
