1 Tell us about your hometown its importance etc. Wagner deCamargo 1. What do you think of American food, girls or boys, and our basic living standards? I love American food! I-Iumm! The girls also! The basic living standard here in America I'm sure is one of the best. 2. Any other comments you would like to make. I'l like to express my appreciation for everyone who has been helping me and supporting me on my school work, especially the teachers. I'm glad I had a chance to know everyone, teachers and friends, you made my staying here a great adventure which I'll remember always. Well what s happening in my hometown, or the island right now is that the islands are trying to free themselves from the United States. The reason why is because we've been under the United States administration for twenty years, yet, nothing is changed. There is no progress. For example, education and economics, we think that if we ourselves could do something then there would be a change in the standards of living. 2. What is your general observations about the U.S., C.S.I., and Twin Falls? I would say that here at C.S.I. in Twin Falls we ought to have more social activities and things like that. Because I think to make a better school then we need more activities and enter- tainments. 190

2.4 .. Jesse Tam 1. What is your general observations about the U.S.A., C.S.I., and Twin Falls? From my point of view, Irealized that new environment is very strange for me because everything is very different from my hometown. United States is a big country with thousands of miles of space and C.S.I. is a good school. Although it is not big, for me it can provide facilities very well. Twin Falls is only a good town. Everything is alright except the inconvience of transportation. 2. What sports do you enjoy most both here and in your home country? Most people in Hong Kong like football which is different from the American Foot- ball, but people here like basketball better and so do I. Amy Tsang 1. Why did you come to the U.S.A.? Hong Kong is a prosperity country, no matter in industry, commerce, or in inter- national trading. Educational System is also quite good, it can come up to world's standard, but due to the limitation of schools and scholarships, most students would like to go abroad for further studies. I am the one who would like to know more, see more, and study more girlg I want to come over U.S.A. because I want to gain more knowledge and fill up myself! Z. What do you think of American food, girls or boys, and our basic living standard? By the first week I arrived in U.5.A. I could not eat because the food has changed. It is quite different between American food and Chinese food, I gradually adapt to the environment. The main food for lunch and dinner is rich and some dishes American food is quite strange to me. Girls and boys are more or less the same. Basic living standard is rather high in U.5.A. because the ratio of money is 1 tU.S.A.J to 6 tI'I.K. dollarj so everything here is more expensive than in I-Iong Kong. 189

What is your general observation about the U.S.A., C.S.I., and Twin Falls? U.S.A. My first impression is disorderlyg QI was in Los Angeles be- forej. The people of the U.5.A. have their own strong opin- ions about anything, are very independent, but free and easy. They have a broad idea. Their idea is very different from out insularism. C.S.I.

Some of them I like, some of them I don't like. I felt American people is so free I like freedom, but I think they need to understand people around them. The boys are so kindness. I don't know woman-live very well, but I don't like it from my knowledge of . Sometime Ican't understand American people so I'm puzzle, but I try to know why they think and do and I try to under- stand and conform their custom from my opinion. 2.
