1st meeting with my conversation partner

  I was looking for today for so long since the beginning of the semester. The professor in ESL told me they paired me up with someone then told me later it couldn't work since the limited English skill she has. So I waited for two more weeks, finally I got my communication parter.
  We emailed each other several times and we decided to meet in front of BLUU. I recognized him immediately after a glimpse since I stalk him on Facebook. We went to Milton and found a study lounge where is big and bright. We began to talk.
  Since he just got here for several months, it's really hard to communicate with him. I used very simple words and sentence but still found difficulty understand each other. So I started with very simple questions like his family. I learnt that he lives in his uncle's house right now, as well as with his aunt and their five children.  His mom works in the church and his dad is a businessman in Malaysia. This fact drew my attention.
  " So, is your mom Christian?"
  "Yes!! "
  I was really surprised by this fact. In Asian countries in general, it's really hard to find people are Christian. The most common religion is Buddhism.
  Then I asked him, " Are you also Christian? "
  "Yes, My whole family is Christian!! "
  He answered so fast and I can see the pride in his face. He is proud of his religion, the minor religion in Korea.
  I asked him, " Do you read Bible in your uncle's house?" I am very curious about the religion in different countries, for me it associate with different ritual and different ways of interrupt the religion.
  " Yes, we read 5 pages of Bible every day, it's our daily routine. "
  I was deeply touched by this.  A family immigrated from South Korea. They don't really understand the language, but they study Bible every day in Korean. How incredible it is. Religion is sharing, people from different country with different background have the same belief. This really happens around us.
  "So, is it hard for you to move from your country to here?"
  " It's not bad, my uncle is here, they take care of me and I like here! After I finish my English program, I want to study Business Studies in TCU!"
  I smiled to him, that contains the best wishes to him.
  "Business is hard, the classes and everything. It's really competitive." I told him.
  He was surprised by my statement . He began to ask me the details about this major because we have the same major. I told him about the classes we have to take and we have to prepare for applying the Neely Business School.
  He looked frustrated after I told him all of that because he thinks his English is not good enough to finish all of the classes.
  " But my professor said my English is improving," he told me.
  " Of course, I think it's not a problem for you. Just keep on doing what you are doing right now. "
  He smiled back to me. I can see the confidence in this smile, with the courage which covered by the sunshine came through the window. It feels warm.
   Then I asked him about his favorite movie. Unexpectedly, his favorite movie is the same as me, "Titanic". I was thrilled by this common interest we had. I told him the 3-D version will come up soon and my friends and I are going to watch the mid-night premier ( I explain the definition of the midnight premier as well).
   One hour passed so fast that I didn't even realize. It's so cool to meet someone from different country and you can sit down and talk about each other's life without any purposes. It's pure chatting and sharing things in you life.
