A Visit With Abdol

I had coffee with Abdol yesterday at The IDS Starbucks. It was very nice to see him. We were talking a little more about education and he told me that his first degree was in mechanical engineering that he received from a French university. Along with working for the United Nations he has also worked for Rolex watch corporation. He is just a very accomplished man. His English is coming along swimmingly. I talked a little about my time at Hamline and my studies there. I have been dealing with foreign men for about 3 years now. In certain ways, I feel more at home with these men than the Americans I have dated my whole life. I guess I can just be me and see greater degrees into their cultures, norms, mores, and classes. I have been around people from foreign nations my whole life starting with The Japanese on Oahu, but it is different now. I don't know what my future holds. I have never traveled to a foreign land that did not speak English. I will need assistance in that way if I do travel one day. It will definitely not be casual travel. Abdol, thank you for the conversation, the very public hug, and your infinity of high fives. I think that you will be on the top of your game when you go back to Europe, but I know that will not be for a few years. Thank you for your work behind the scenes.
