I went to Alma De Cuba to meet my Japanese tutor and also to teach Korean. I had a great time and ate some awesome Latin food! Normally, I am uncomfortable with people whom I met first time. He seems like one of my uncle, so I had no problem talking back and forth. He taught me many ideas about job hunting and what the companies are looking for. I only spoke my native language but gained so many things out of him.

Thank you so much for your time and great dinner!
