Day 18: Arabic Class & Lecture on Arab/Israeli Conflict

In Arabic Class we took our second quiz and then had a lesson about adjectival phrases.  Arabic, like spanish has the adjective follow the noun.  The adjective mirrors the noun in terms of gender, number, and definiteness.

Today I actually tried the lunch at Horus House, and it was pretty decent.  The eggplant meat dish was delicious and went very well with the white rice and the fried chicken with french fries.  The meal was fulfilling even while I was sharing it with a friend of mine.  We had gone to the supermarket earlier and also ate some mini-pitas with it as well.  I also grabbed some instant cup-noodles since a couple of ladies had been suggesting I try them and had enjoyed them very much themselves.  I figured it would make a good snack for here and there.

In the afternoon we met at Leslie's apartment for a Lecture on the Arab/ Israeli Conflict which continued to add on top my knowledge of the middle-eastern issue and how sad and frustrating the situation.  Knowledge is important and it's important for people to understand what really happened in history.  If more and more people were aware of the reasons of conflict then it would be easier for people to relate and understand the severity of the problem.
