On our last day of class, I was able to meet up with my conversation partner Amr. We are both out of town now. He went to Saudi Arabia for a couple months the day after class ended. Though I would never pick Chili's as a dinner venue, that's what he wanted. So, as an awesome conversation partner, yet disappointed food lover, I agreed. :) He brought his best friend and we enjoyed some great conversation over dinner. It was a fun evening, yet melancholy, as we knew we would be parting ways and possibly not see each other again. But, as agreed, we've already connected via Skype. We both talked about food that we enjoy cooking, so we'll be sharing recipes and cooking on Skype. I'm excited to see photos of his wedding in February, though he seems less than enthused about his arranged marriage. He's more looking forward to time with his family.
Amr is the conversation partner I spent the most time with. We've shared awkward moments, disagreements, food, laughs, and serious deep conversations. I'm thankful for the time we've spent together, and I think we'll remain in contact in the future. :)
