nice :) I can understand how exited it is, because I was in the same situation 2 years ago.

Do you have already a host family?

[ie1018]

nope. not yet. I got the acceptance letter early this month and had to send in my details, medical checkups, some school statements etc. Ill know my host family details in December, i think. We will depart in January 2010!! wohooo

[EnjoyFirefighting]

well that's gonna be interesting; I got my family details 1 month before I left.

When you're there you'll see: it's the best thing that could happen to a student :)

[ie1018]

yeah. I hope Ill have the time of my lifee!!

btw, where r u from and where were u hosted? how was it? What was ur host family like?

[EnjoyFirefighting]

I'm from Germany and went to northern Norway, in a "city" with 4000 people living there. How it was? It was excellent, although my first family wasn't that suitable (that's completly normal), but then I went into a perfect family.

It was such amazing that it's almost impossible to put it into words, the whole year

thanks;

Yes it's really nice to live in another cuture, and esspecially it isn't from the tourists' view, but from the view of the peolpe living there; And from other exchange students you learn also very much about their culture
