Hello! I am Claudia Reidl, and I am an AFS exchange student from Austria tnot Australian. I live in a typical apartment house in Vienna IAgain, not Venicell. My parents and my two sisters live there too. I already graduated from high school and therefore this year in the US. is a fun one! I love langua es and I want to pursue a career in that fie d. I learned English, French, German, and Latin in hi h school. Here. I am taking my second year 0 Spanish. I enjoy E.P.H.S. because it is so different from my old school. There is much more athletic involvement. students seem more creative. and theylre encoura ed to use their talents. I really enjoy being ab e to choose my subjects and learn new things. That will hel me in my future plans. The students, as weII as the teachers, seem more 0 en and easier to talk to than in my old schoo . I think it will be hard to leave this country. but on the other hand. I am looking forward to going home again. I hope I'll see you in Austria sometime. AUSTRIA Hello. I am Mr. Nylander, an exchange stu- dent from Finland, but you can call me Pasi.l have stayed in Eden Prairie only about a year. Last year was the most exciting year in my life - so far! I really did enjoy my time here. I found American school easier than my own school in Finland. We have to study more subjects than you do. and we don't have a chance to pick out classes. I think your system is better for the future. I've always been interested in languages. I've studied English for 9 years. German for 5. and Swedish for 5. My native language is Fin- nish. My interest in language was one reason I came here. Now. as you are reading this. I'm back in Finland with my parents. and my brother. I just want to thank everyone at E.P.H.S. You made my American school year very successful. I will never forget you. .. x- e.- V-..., FINLAND I am Reiko Yahata from Tokyo, Japan. I guess Japanese life is similar to American life. But one exception is that Iapan has only one race. Japanese. Culturally. I found many differences between Americans and the Japanese. For example. language. I have also found it interesting to learn other cultures. I have had a hard time with language here, but I have also had a great time! I would like to say thank you to you. I love E.P.H.S. even ifl only went here for a year. My name is Tsutae Kimura but my nickname is Mako. aqua sbaeesbzaasae NHEEEEE 28 mmy; I am loanna Reinseth. I'm 18 years old and I come from Denmark. 1 live near the capitol. Copenhagen. in an apartment with my mom and dad. I have 5 older sisters but they are all married and have Children. When I left Denmark, I had just finished my second year of high school. I have one more year when I go back. I find the Danish high school much harder than the American. We have much more homework to do and we don't get to choose our classes as you do here. I like the American system much more because you can get classes you like and think you'll need in the future. I'm a Rotany exchange student from Japan. I came to the United States on August 23. 1988. I'm glad I met many friends and teachers at Eden Prairie High School. Since August. I've found that there are many differences be- tween American culture and Japanese culture and I very much enjoy sharing them. I have had three different host families during this year and everyone was nice to me. My hobbies are drawing. playing the piano. climbing mountains. sewing and cooking. If you. my friends. visit Japan. please come to my home.
