I met Elly at tea time today. It is a new session. We started by talking about written languages and alphabets. Elly wrote her and my names on a paper in Taiwanese characters and I copied them. I taught her a few phrases in Spanish after that and she had fun rolling her "r"s. She told me she has the most trouble pronouncing world and people in English.
We talked about religion and holidays. Her family does not have a religion in Taiwan and they only celebrate the Chinese New Years. She has 8 cousins but they don't really get together any other time of the year. She asked me about each of the American holidays and I explained some of them, like Thanksgiving and the 4th of July.
Lastly, Elly told me about a presentation she has to do on jeans. She is going to talk about different styles, the history and companies. This led to a talk on fashion and we spent the rest of our time together online shopping on different sites like anthropologie and urbanoutfitters. We picked out "dream" outfits and tried to guess what clothes the other person would like the most.
