On Tuesday June 21, I attended the first session of the cultural exchange workshop. It was kinda funny because the whole class was there. So, I assume that the students might feel somewhat overwhelmed by the sheer mass of english speaking TEFL students. If they were overwhelmed, they didn't show it. I sat in the middle with Ankita and Hassan. Hassan was such a talker! He had information about Saudia Arabia, and he said that he normally gets 24 hours of sleep. I don’t know if I believe him, but I’m not one to judge. When I told him, I was lucky if I got 6 hours of sleep, he said that was a measly nap for him. I still can’t get over that. The workshop itself was very enlightening, especially when it came to how our culture’s differed across the world. It was also kinda hard to correct everyone’s grammar. Correcting someone is so engrained with rudeness in our culture. I have to put that behind me at our next session.
