My next conversation with Michelle was a lot of fun. I found she responds well to my humor, even with the language barrier. I thought it would be a problem that Michelle and I don’t go off campus and immerse ourselves culturally, but the one-on-one conversation in a relaxed environment like CIES is the best possible practice for her at the moment. We talked about a lot of interesting things. She said she likes to wear makeup and nice clothes but her parents think it doesn’t makes her look respectable. That kind of surprised me, considering in America when we want to look respectable we try to cover up with makeup and designer duds.
