Today, after our lessons, we headed to al-Sweffiyeh, which was a cross between an outlet mall and a marketplace. It seems like shopping has become one of our ideal activities. While we don’t excessively shop, we get a chance to listen to different accents, as well as practice what we’re learning in class.

Some of us got to visit al-Sufara’ bakery and saw breads and cakes of various shapes, sizes, and designs. After al-Sweffiyeh, we went to watch a masrahhiya (Arabic for: play). It was difficult for many of us to understand everything fully, but Dr. Shalabi explained it to us on the bus ride back home.

We arrived at the hotel just in time to catch the second half of the first game of the semi-finals of the World Cup to see the Netherlands defeat Uruguay 3-2.
