Yesterday I met with my conversation partner, Kwang. He told me that he had a headache so I tried to talk quietly. We started off by talking about the videogame excursion I had with Wayo. I told him I wished he could have come to play with us, and he reminded that "the last guy [he] played was pacman." in the end, maybe it was best that he didn't come over because my house was a mess. Next we talked about differences between eastern and western medicine. He told me that where he lives, medicine was basically the same as here in the U.S., but that there are just as many "traditional" medicine vendors as there are western. He said that he prefers to use western medicine(as I would expect a man who work sin education to), but he still uses some home remedies. I told him that things are similar here in the U.S., most people will use over the counter medicines, as well as home remedies when trying to get rid of something like a cold or headache. Next we talked about the NSA scandal. It is one of my favorite things to talk to them about, because most of the students consider America to have "much more freedom" than where they came from. So far, none of them have been aware of the story, and they are all surprised by it when I tell them. Still, though, they all consider America to be a better place to live than where they come from(and I tend to agree).
