I've had a Japanese girl, 2 Spanish boys and a boy from Australia. My parents hosted a girl from Czech Repub.

It's a great experience for your family but go into it with no expectations of a forever pen pal type relationship. The Japanese girl spoke very little English- I have no idea if she was having a good time or not! The Spanish boys had a hard time with American family life: making your own bed was really odd to them as they were used to servants in the home. The Australian was a kick in the pants. He loved shopping here and watching cartoons on the Disney channel. None of them really liked Mexican food...my kids just could not understand that at all!
