Date/Time: Wednesday September 14 6:30-7:30pm
Location: ONYX Apartments
Topic discussed: Movies, Pop Culture, Religious Holidays
Cultural and/or linguistic topics you and your partner learned: I learned that its true that American-made action movies are the most successful genre "overseas". When we were talking about our favorite movies Turky could only name or remember "action" movies that had cars and guns in them. he seemed to only care about the explosions, but when you can't understand the dialogue it really is the next best thing. Also, Saudi Arabia is a secular country and I doubt they allow many of my favorite movies to be shown because of their racy or sexual nature. We did not meet on Monday because it was a religious holiday for Turky. He told me about Eid Al-Adha. He wore his traditional robes and prayed with his friends. He seemed to have a nice day away from school celebrating his faith.
