Date/Time: July 26, 2017; 12:00pm
Location: CIES Building
Topics discussed: Classes, family, TV, government, life in general
Cultural and/or linguistic topics you and your partner learned: My partner and I met up during the CIES lunch break. We spoke on a variety of different topics, including our thoughts on the latest Game of Thrones episodes. We came up with a topic for him to write his next composition essay on (doping in sports or marijuana legalization), and also spoke about how different American-style essay writing is from its Arabic equivalent (and the challenges that presents him). I also learned that Kuwaitis do not pay taxes, but still have many public benefits because the government receives so much revenue from oil. We then talked a bit about fashion, and both agreed that much of the "high fashion" that you see is ugly, impractical, and expensive-- both of us would rather use the money on fun things/trips.
