On Thursday June 2nd 2016, I invited my
conversation partner Abdullah to come watch Game 1 of the NBA Finals between
the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Golden State Warriors with my friends and me at
the Palace saloon. Abdullah gladly accepted my invitation and came to the
palace around ten o clock, an hour into the game. Along with Cameron who met
Abdullah the first time he came to palace, Abdullah got to meet me friends
Austin, Adam, Taylor, Joseph, and Steve. Happy to say that despite my friends being
drunk for the NBA Finals and Abdullah being sober since the Islamic faith
prevents drinking Alcohol, Abdullah and my friends got along very well and
discussed many different topics ranging
from Abdullah’s life and culture back in Saudi Arabia to each friend giving
Abdullah their own “secret” to flirting with American girls. Abdullah had so
much fun at the bar with us that he even joined us when we left the bar and
hung out with us at Austin’s house till two in the morning. Eventually Abdullah
left but before he said that tonight was one of the most enjoyable nights of
his life and that he was glad to call me his friend. We added each other on
Facebook and hung out one other time after June 2nd. Today Abdullah
left to go back home but sent me a text saying that he was glad to meet me and
that one day he hopes to see me again. I also look forward to the day I can see
my friend Abdullah again.
