On Wednesday I met with Turki at CIES from 3:00-4:15. We talked about some differences in climate between Tallahassee and Medina since it was a really hot summer day and there was a thunderstorm. I told him about the typical Tallahassee summer weather and about different perceptions of rain and other severe weather. We talked about the hurricanes that hit Tallahassee the last two years, and he told me a funny story about how when there was no power he traveled and then teased his CIES friends who didn't have electricity. Turki told me about some land his father bought in Saudi Arabia and was building a foundation and a little more about the mountains around Medina. For future use of English in Saudi Arabia, Turki told me about a new "smart city" that was being built or planned in the future, and the job prospects he would face upon returning to Saudi Arabia.
