I took Abdullah to my favorite store in Tallahassee, World Market. We wandered down the isles talking about the different foods in his country and the foods found in mine. We shared stories of our friends back home and had fun exploring the diversity World Market brings to Tallahassee.
After our trip to World Market he wanted to show me a store that sells middle-eastern food, so we went to the Bazaar and he explained what food means a lot to his culture and what he misses the most about Saudi Arabia. It was here that he explained to me that there are 90 names for Allah in Islam and I explained what Easter is and why I was wearing my cross today.
By this time about 2 hours had passed and we decided to go play pool. It was great to spend an afternoon getting to know such a pleasant and open person who is looking forward to expand his worldly knowledge.
