Today we went with our culture and community class to the London Central Mosque. We met with Omar, who taught us all about Islam and what it means to be a Muslim. He asked if anyone had ever traveled to the Middle East, or if anyone knew any Arabic. I was the only one who raised my hand. He asked me what words I knew. I told him I knew “Inshallah,” then I spaced and told him I knew some not very nice words, as well as fruits, and a few little phrases and exclamations. He was very nice and very funny. He was a pretty young guy. I really liked learning more about Islam, and was glad that more of my peers were able to learn about it for the first time.

After the Mosque we went to Kahn’s, the best Indian restaurant! Love it so much! Haha and as if we were not full enough already, we went to Frog, a frozen yogurt store after. Delish!
