Jesse Marks CP7: Arabic and English

Late on a Friday night, Abdul called me, and we decided to go out for tea! Being "that guy" who goes to bed at 11, it was difficult for me to comprehend this concept of leaving my apartment past 10:00PM. Well, either way, I arrived at Alladin's where I saw the owner sitting on the front porch smoking a cigar. He nodded at me and exchanged our normal, "Salaam wa aleykum", then he went back to his tobacco. His son led us into a room adorned with traditional Palestinian décor and had us sit. Listening to a dance house remixed version of "Ana Bahebak" by Fadel Shaker, we sipped on our tea and talked about life and the future. I explained that I would like to travel to Ryadth one day to visit him, and He welcomed me with open arms. I hope one day that Abdul and I will be able to meet again in Saudi Arabia.
