I picked up Song from class on Thursday and met with her over lunch at Gaines Street Pies (GSP). GSP wasn’t our original destination, but it was an easy decision after seeing that The Bark was closed. That decision produced the first of a series of insights and comments that Song had on American culture: that South Koreans “never have a back-up plan” when dining out is concerned; that American food is too salty (although GSP is not); that we are neighbors; and that Tallahassee--for all its beauty--might be too small to be the capitol of Florida. We rushed through lunch as I learned about her goals, and I am excited by her obvious passion for travel and nature. I know that she wants to practice speaking and will be developing lessons that help build her vocabulary as an English speaker while further acquainting her with Tallahassee.
