Date/Time: February 18th, 12-2PM
Location: Vertigo Burger & The Governor’s Square
Mall
Topic discussed: Food
Cultural and/or linguistic topics you and your partner
learned: Today, Ghaleb and I had lunch at Vertigo Burger, a trendy burger
join on Apalachee Parkway. He really enjoys burgers. This opened up a
conversation about the differences between Kuwaiti and American food. I told
him about Shek-Shouka -- an Arab dish
that another friend had once cooked for me. Right away, his eyes lit up. It was
a powerful testimony for the power of culture to reveal that are far more
similar than we may appear.
After lunch, Ghaleb needed to run an errand at the
mall. We walked around and continued our conversation. I am extremely grateful
to know this kid and am looking forward to continuing our friendship.
