For our second meeting, I took Elly to eat dinner at Mr. Roboto’s. Naturally, we talked about food a lot. Elly doesn’t know how to cook but we are going to cook an American meal together of fried chicken and mashed potatoes and gravy at my house. She loved Mr. Roboto’s but asked me to order for her because the system of ordering at a counter and then sitting down was confusing her. At Mr. Roboto’s, there aren’t waiters, but food runners bring the food to your table and this confused her. I think it’s funny that she told me that since she can’t cook, her roommate feeds her everyday. I asked her what she would do if she didn’t have her roommate, and Elly said she would just mooch off of friends.
We discussed her classes, and apparently she has a lot of homework. Elly likes to do homework at her house instead of the library or a coffee shop. She learned a new phrase from me: “one of a kind.” I told her I like “one of a kind” coffee shops better than Starbucks and this launched a discussion of the phrase.
I will be seeing Elly next week, I invited her to my friend’s birthday party. This will be her first big American “kegger” style party and she sounds excited.
Can't wait to hear about the keg party experience ;)
