O'Neill CP # 4

This past Wednesday night, Ebru and I met up for coffee at the Black Dog cafe. It was so nice meeting with her outside of the classroom setting. Although our class is fun and informal, there's always a certain formality hanging on regardless; therefore, meeting up outside of class makes it much more like a friendship. We sat out on the wooden balcony for a while while Ebru smoked. As we were in the middle of our conversation, a man came up and asked us if we had cigarettes on us. Ebru felt obliged to give him one but did not feel comfortable. Once he had left we talked about this American custom. I gave her my advice on what she should do. She told me this is not customary in Turkey, people buy their own cigarettes. We also talked about our plans on becoming ESL/EFL teachers and where we would like to go. We then went on a walk around lake Ella, and before we knew it, it was time to go home.
