On July 13, 2020, I had my first conversation partner at 4:30pm. It went better than I expected. I thought it would be awkward, especially since it was over zoom. The conversation flowed well. We talked about our different cultures. Most of the conversation leaned towards food. It was interesting to find out that both our cultures had similar food staples like rice and beans. Mohommad is from Saudi Arabia, and he mentioned how he missed having well-seasoned food. He had a huge cultural shock when he came to the U.S and could not find food that was similar to his home food. We also talked about geographical differences between Saudi Arabia and Cuba. Our meeting had to be cut short by a couple minutes because his phone ran out of battery. However, it was a great meeting where we were able to share different aspects of our cultures.
