Date/Time: 6/18
Location: CIES
I met with Peiheng that Tuesday and we had a long conversation at the CIES classrooms. We talked for a while about his views as a Chinese born student coming to the US and how he adapted to the culture of this country. I asked him about what he sees as the difference between the political culture in China and the US, of course, this is a sensitive topic considering the vast differences but it was a very informative conversation for me. I know Peiheng likes to be introduced to new idioms and phrases passively so, naturally, whenever I would say an idiom like "Don't throw stones in a glass house," we would switch topics into what the idiom meant. I noticed that Peiheng had been writing down all the idioms we had gone over throughout the summer and I asked him if he had been able to incorporate some of the past idioms into everyday conversation.
