My Dinner Experiences
One time that I can remember being at a dinner that was different than my own culture, was when I was having dinner at my best friend's house. My friend is persian and we were having dinner with her grandparents. My friend does not speak Farsi, but her mom and grandparents do. Her grandparents and her mom would speak to each other in Farsi and my friend and I would not know what they were saying, so we felt out of the conversation. They would be able to tell, so they would begin to speak half English half Farsi. I actually really liked going over to her grandparent's house and seeing a different culture than what I am used to, and to have new experiences and learn new things every time. I continue to go to her grandparent's house and greet me with a big hello.

Thanks for sharing Bren! I am glad that you had and continue to have positive experiences visiting your friends grandparents' house. It sounds like your experience is almost parallel to Gogol's in that even though you felt a little awkward at first you eventually grew to enjoy it and have a good time. Great post!
