Chris and I met at the student Union Friday afternoon. She needed to ship a couple packages,
so we went together to the UPS store.
We ended up having a nice conversation with the young man behind the
counter, and were both surprised to learn that he was from Columbia. His accent and demeanor were very “American”. He told us that he attended an American
school in Columbia. I was happy to
share with him information about the TEFL course, as he seemed bored with his
job at the UPS store. Chris is
also interested in getting her TEFL certificate, so she enjoys hearing the
information. After she shipped her
packages, she and I drove to the mall.
We talked about going out that night, and discussed Arab men and their
relationship to Arab women. Also,
we discussed the clothing restrictions on Arab women, and she said she would
find out more from her Arab friend about the extremity of the
restrictions. In other words, in
one’s private home are the women confined to a dress code?
I dropped Chris off at the mall, and she
happily galloped to meet her Brazilian friend, who was getting off the bus the
moment we pulled up.
