It does seem that there are a lot of things that we do that would truly seem strange if we hadn't grown up with them. The outside perspective is refreshing. On the same note it must have been really awesome to view horse racing and their taste for that sport from the outside, just as Nasser was viewing our like of football from the outside. It sounds like you guys had an awesome meeting, even taking its brevity into account.<br />-AustinAviatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15886404378833678037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-258382891702571201.post-5279632635277685332013-04-21T23:52:31.814-07:002013-04-21T23:52:31.814-07:00Amanda,

I'm glad that you and Nasser are getting to learn from each other, even if a little excitement over sports gets lost in translation. I think it's funny that he even explained to you how people cheat in horse racing, so hopefully you got a laugh from that too! It sounds like you two are having some great meetings, and I hope they continue to go well.<br /><br />KelseyKelsey Fahlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13555601191498717240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-258382891702571201.post-82900592662925441462013-04-21T19:50:25.657-07:002013-04-21T19:50:25.657-07:00Amanda,

I guess I can see how someone might not appreciate football if they hadn't grown up with it, but it's definitely one of those American things it's important to experience! Horse races sound very interesting, though, as a way of entertainment. It'd probably be strange though to not have specific players or teams to root for in the event since that's what we focus on -- maybe they have favorite horses that they look out for! Overall, it sounds like a great meeting for you and Nasser!<br /><br />MadelineMadeline Rhodenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15049593121068205853noreply@blogger.com
