Entertaining Guests
Wow, tonight was quite a spontaneous evening! I had just got home about 8:00 when my friend Dang called me. She wanted some help with her English homework, and since she wasn't going to be able to come over on Saturday as we had planned earlier this week, I told her to come over tonight.
Dang is one of my neighbors just down the street from me. Unfortunately, she is too busy to do much with me, but we have really connected. So tonight, she came over, and I tried to help her with her homework. I fear I did poorly, as the material was new to me also--how to read some Oxford English dictionary. Having never been schooled in "English" English, I didn't understand some of the symbols and phonetics. And, of course, there was the issue of pronunciation.:)
Our conversation eventually turned to various and sundry other subjects, including jobs,priorities, religions, family, etc. It was really a rather stimulating time. She left my apartment about 11:30. I think I may get to see her tomorrow at a birthday party to which she just invited me.
I am excited to actually have one of my Thai friends over to my apartment; it is a first. Hopefully that will happen more and more often.:)
