Mansour #5: Out of Words


Well, it’s the last week of classes and Mansour and I have decided to fit another meeting in. Instead of meeting outside of 1873, we chose to venture inside and eat, because he had wanted to eat there.
            This got us on the topic of food. He got a bacon cheeseburger, which is not something regularly eaten in Saudi Arabia. He started to describe the foods that are normally consumed in his home country, which consists mostly of lamb, chicken, and falafel. It didn’t sound too bad to me at all, but I’m not sure if I could handle the lack of variety.
            There have been some really big Champions League soccer games as of late, so we spent about 20 minutes talking about those and who would win the upcoming final between Bayern Munich and Chelsea. I said Chelsea, because Bayern always chokes and Chelsea only performs during tournament play. He said Bayern because they are a more skilled team. Agree to disagree, I guess.
            Well, this was also another short conversation that consisted solely of talking about food and soccer. Sounds like a man talk to me. I wish I had more to write about, but I think Mansour is happy we are only meeting one more time.
