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.
