Taylor CP #3

(Culture Workshop)
Date/Time: Thursday, February 11th, 1:00-1:50pm
Location: CIES (Lounge)
Topic discussed: Project for country comparisons, explaining the major features of each country.

Cultural and/or linguistic topics you and your partner learned: Although one of our group members was absent, we still got to discuss some of the basic ideas we had for what to talk about/put on our board. This involved discussion of hospitality culture in Saudi Arabia, and what the equivalent would be for the U.S. It seems that both have a fairly similar concept of hospitality, but it was interesting to hear about the specific details that make them different. We also discussed the idea of common hobbies, such as taking trips to the desert in Saudi Arabia, and famous/popular foods such as dates for Saudi Arabia or oranges for Florida.
