ARZU CP#2



ARZU CP#2

Date/Time: 11/3/2015   6.45-7.45 pm (with Victoria & Will)

Location: Starbucks, Tennessee

Topic discussed: Holiday Times 

Cultural and/or linguistic topics you and your partner learned: We talked about Thanksgiving holiday which is one of the important holiday for Americans. Victoria explained this is the time for the people to give thanks for what they have. The tradition is having a special meal together with family/friends on this day and the meal often includes a turkey.
When it comes to Christmas which is religious holiday for Americans, it is mainly all about getting/giving gifts, Victoria said. Victoria & Will said that they stopped having this gift tradition in their family. Victoria is planning to go to NYC with her grandmother for Christmas holiday instead of spending money on gifts. 
I also mentioned about religious holidays in Turkey which are Ramadan & Sacrifice Holiday and I explained shortly how we celebrate them.
