On Saturday I met with Salem at Dunkin Donuts from 3:15-4:45. We talked about his future and the IELTS exam he plans to take. Although he doesn't know specifics, Salem told me a lot about learning aviation and about all the different classes of licenses and what you have to do for them. I asked him a lot about traveling and what being a pilot is like in Saudi Arabia compared to the US. We also talked about some of the difficulties faced when reading English and spelling difficult words that do not sound the way they look when spelled. Salem was curious and as was I, so we had a neutral political discussion where I talked to him about a lot of American history and he told me about differences in the last few Saudi rulers and about the royal family.
