Conversation partner week 4 Rita Schwab

I invited Eric out to a party tonight and he had an absolutely beautiful time. He was just shining.
It was a potluck and house warming party. He learned what potluck is about, which he had no concept of. He also was impressed with the housewarming idea - people bringing presents for the new house (my friend planted a tree) and bringing well wishes. He thought it all very beautiful.
There were many people of all ages and Eric got to speak with older couples as well as college students. Even some grand babies arrived and add the dogs, there was a mixture of everything including skin color. I had a blast. And everyone seemed to enjoy Eric. He sure did not get a quiet moment because everyone had plenty of questions for him. He share eating habits at a party in his country and the simplicity of eating on the floor as some of the party guests just made themselves comfortable on the floor in the living room. That was very familiar to Eric and he pointed it out.
He also got familiar with root beer, a non-alcoholic root beverage that looked like beer but did not taste like it at all. And he liked it.
At the end of the party while saying good-bye, Eric got a lot of handshakes and a lot of hugs and we brought him back home to his apartment. He was so happy and appreciative as he never leaves his compound to go anywhere else but grocery shopping and the college, of course.
As homework I assigned Eric to watch President Obama's 'State of the Union' speech, which he did not know anything about.
It was a lovely evening.
