Have you ever hosted?

I had several exchange students when I was in high school (which I just graduated in 08' lol) and they were all pretty good. We only had one that was "bad" and she was no worse than me. My mom grounded us both for sneaking out one night but it was all in good fun. You must've just got a lazy one, lol, but its not like all teens are the same and that goes for every nationality. Where was she from? We had one from Japan and she took a shower everyday but she would run a little bit of water then turn it off to wash then turn it on to rinse. She was very good at conserving water thats for sure. I thought they were GREAT learning experiences and I still remain friends with them (we had 6 from my 8th grade year till I graduated) and plan on doing it when my kids get older.

I have a good friend who takes exchange students every year. I think it's kind of a coin toss...sometimes she gets a bad one, but usually they are good. I think it would be such a neat experience getting to see what someone from another culture is like, and getting to share your culture with them.
