Chan-CP#6

     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.
