I met my conversation partner, Bruna, in the CIES lounge on Wednesday afternoon, July 12. She is from Rio de Janiero, Brazil and has been here for 1 month and plans to stay for 6 months total. I told her about my family trip to Brazil a long time ago. She gave me suggestions of beautiful places to go in or near Rio.
She is a computer programmer and needs to improve her English skills for her job. She loves to play video games and watch movies. She plays games at the Student Life Center and recently watched Wonder Woman at a local movie theater. She says she doesn't always understand what is going on and it can be expensive. I told her about Movies 8, where the prices for movies are less expensive. In addition, it is close to Fun Station where she can play arcade games, play miniature golf, and ride go karts.
We both expressed our wish to go do something off campus sometime. However, we both have tricky vehicle situations. She doesn't have a car or drive. I told her that my situation is difficult too. My dad was driving my truck last week and got into an accident. Everyone is ok, but my truck was destroyed. We can meet at CIES for now. We had a great conversation.
