My high school had an exchange with specific high schools in France and Spain. About 30 kids would go to each country for a month in the beginning of 3rd quarter and then return. 2 weeks later, their hosts and hostesses would come to our Boston suburb. My sibs and I all did this.

Usually they placed same-gender but the year my sister participated, there were more American girls as compared to French girls. Our family ended up with Philippe. He was a very polite boy from what I recall. I was in college so I barely met him

We heard from both of them this week! They're full of questions, of course, and I'm trying to think of all kinds of random things to tell them. Any ideas about what they need to know beforehand?

We still don't know when they're coming and school starts in about 5 weeks.

They're here! The Korean from Germany came Thursday and the Japanese came yesterday because the Japanese students have to go to a 10-day camp in Wisconsin first. Volleyball tryouts start tomorrow!

The Korean girl was born and raised in Germany--her parents teach theology and Korean there-- so of course, she has a strong German accent and i'm starting to remember a lot from my 5 years of German. Both girls are huge Disney fans; we chose the right kids! The Japanese girl pointed to the Korean on the way home and said, "She say your #1 son rook rike Orrando Broom." LOL! We'll have to work with her on her 'l'.
