Malyce CP #1


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"
