My
TP and I originally planned to meet, but my CP and another friend, wanted to go
to Destin for the day. I had no work to do and did not have any class so
I obliged. There were three of us total that went to Destin, my CP, TP,
and another friend. It took us nearly three hours to arrive at one of the
outlet malls that the Brazilians wanted to go. They told me that the
clothing and apparel from America was sold at nearly 3 times or 10 times the
price in Brazil so they wanted to buy a lot of things for their families when
they return. I was pretty much the driver and I explored the beaches and
the sights around Destin while my friends went shopping. I also had some
time to talk to my CP and TP as well. I asked my CP what he wanted to buy
and he told me that he was looking for training shoes, gym clothes and watches
for his father back home. He also told me that he really liked the malls
in the United States because in Brazil, the shop owners were able to gauge the
price of certain things, but here in the US, the price was on the price
tag. We talked about his family back home and then we left the mall and
went to other places, had lunch, dinner, took some pictures and then came back
to Tallahassee. My TP was very excited to see the beach and another city
other than Tallahassee to be honest. He
was very excited to be in the United States and was very appreciative of all
the accommodations, cleanliness and order the US had. The only thing that he disliked was the lack
of convenient public transportation. We
all joked about the public transportation system in the US literally forces us
to have cars.
We
had a blast, the Brazilians got to shop and practice their English. In all, the day was epic.
