On Tuesday May 31st 2016, I met my conversation
partner Abdullah at the palace saloon for our third conversation session. I
arrived early at nine o clock to secure a pool table and dart board for the
evening waiting till nine thirty for Abdullah to arrive. Abdullah commented
that I was not with my friends this time and I told him that none of my friends
wanted to go out to a bar on a Tuesday night so it was just me and him.
Although being one on one allows me to have more conversation with Abdullah, I
could tell he was a little disappointed that he would not be socializing with
other people. Needless to say, I played pool and darts with Abdullah till eleven
thirty and despite it just being us, I could tell he had fun. I learned that
night that Abdullah does not drink because his religion does not allow him to
do so. I am glad that despite the palace being a bar that serves beer, Abdullah
still went to an establishment unknown to him and socialized with people who
drink.
