Tatiana CP #3

My conversation partners found out I was paired with both of them, so they wanted to meet up together. We went to Chic-Fil-A on campus, and Han Mai's twin came along too. We were talking about weddings and in Vietnam it is common for an 18 year old to get married. The twins were explaining how they have a lot of friends from high school who were married or getting married. They showed us pictures of their friends in beautiful wedding dresses and accessories. Yan and I both were intrigued at the idea of an 18 year old getting married. Also, in Vietnam college/Universities are relatively small unlike the Universities in China and the U.S. At one point we got on the topic of music again, and we learned that Yan does not listen to any music. When we asked "why" she replied that she prefers silence instead. That is something to reflect on, because sometimes silence makes you think more. Constantly listening to music can be a distraction, while some silent times is great for self thinking and learning. The girls are in level 3 and 4 CEIS classes. Han Mai was practicing her speaking presentation. She had to make a powerpoint, and then present it to the class.
