Date/Time: July 9 at 3:30pm
Location: Zoom
Topic discussed:
- mainly just a get-to-know-each-other meeting
- talked about food, cultural differences, dogs, hobbies, etc.
Cultural and/or linguistic topics you and your partner
learned:
- I learned that it is a common cultural practice for Egyptians to not smile or share too much information with people they have only just met
- I think it may also be common for Egyptians to not like to ask questions of others, at least not those who they don't know well
- It is commonplace in Egypt to refer to a man older than yourself as "Uncle"
