Market Wednesday
I met my conversation partner and tutee at the student union one day after classes were over because we were all a little hungry. Market Wednesday was still going on which was great because I had some friends working booths and I wanted to show them what it's like. They usually can't go since they it happens during the time they have class. There are lots of vendors, dancing, food, and music. People sell clothes, jewelry and other things that I can't quite remember. We met up with my friend at her jewelry booth and I introduced them to her and some others. They talked about where they were from and what they were studying. It was good practice for them to talk to people in a normal context outside of CIES. One of my friends came with us to eat at yogurt place at the union and we all stuffed our faces and had girl talk. I was planning a trip to Miami at the time so we all talked about that and the festival we planned on attending. I showed them pictures of what it was like and my friend offered them a chance to go on the trip with us if we had enough room. In time another friend of mine joined us and we had a long, funny conversation. My CIES partners loved meeting my friends and upon leaving they promised to meet us at international coffee hour on Friday that week to talk more about the trip. It was a fun time.
