CP #1

My first conversation partner meeting was with Ahmed from Saudi Arabia. We met at the Strozier Starbucks on campus, and I really enjoyed our time together! Ahmed's English is quite broken, but we were able to hold a continuous conversation with only little difficulty. We discussed each of our lives and our goals. Ahmed shared with me about life in Saudi Arabia and I shared with him life in Brazil and in the United States. We discussed where we have each traveled to and other places we'd like to travel eventually. Ahmed shared with me his plans to enter business when he arrives back in Saudi Arabia. He is learning English so that he will be a more attractive businessperson back in his country, which I definitely think is a good idea. We met with each other for almost two hours, but I was surprised as it seemed to fly by so quickly!
