Giovanna CP #3

Yesterday, July 17 from 3:30-4:30 PM,  I met with my conversation partner, Abdulaziz, for the third time. We talked about random things as we always do! He told me that he moved his TOEFL exam for next Monday because there were some technical difficulties so we discussed the struggles of taking a proctored exam online in your home. The conversation then shifted to a discussion about food and the different things our cultures eat/drink when we're sick. I was incredibly surprised to find out that in Saudi Arabia, people do not drink soup when they are sick! I previously thought drinking soup was a universal custom when one has a cold. The conversation somehow then shifted to different myths and superstitions in our cultures. I shared some superstitions from both Cuban and American culture and Abdulaziz shared some Saudi ones as well. As always, I had a very fun and light-hearted conversation with Abdulaziz!
