On July 20, I met with my conversation partner, Khaled, for
the first time. He is an eighteen year old from Kuwait. After completing his
CIES courses, he hopes to study chemical engineering. For our session, we went
to get a snack and talk at Chili’s. I did not know a lot about Kuwait, so I
learned a lot when he told me about his country. He said it is pretty different
from the United States, though the weather is somewhat similar, temperature
wise. It does not rain as much. He has travelled to many places and told me how
he frequently travels to neighboring countries such as Saudi Arabia and Dubai
since they are only a few hours away. I thought this was very interesting.
