I often go to Camogli in the summertime. OUR F GREIG DIPLUMACY Mauro Picchio, A.F.S. student from Italy, says: When I first arrived, I was really surprised to see how many many differences I was able to find be- tween the United States and my own country. Ob- viously, I wasn't expecting to find everything like in Italy because my country is about seventeen hundred years older than the United States. Besides this, it is important to consider the mind of the country I am from: Italy is a Latin country, and as a rule Latins are more conservative than Anglo- Saxons. I can say that the people of the United States have a more liberal life than Italians, and, to be sincere, I like the American standard of life better than the Italian although I don't complain about my life in Italy. By spending a year in the United States I learned that it is wrong to judge a foreign country just by reading an article in a news- paper. I live in Alessandria in northern Italy. My ad- dress is Via Lavanaids 3h, and if anyone from Homestead will ever visit me, I'll be glad to show him how life really is in my country. This is my sister by one of the crosses of the Dolomites. Here are my father, sister, and mother 40

STARTS AT HO E Judy Tiew, A.F.S. Student from Thailand, says: My living in America has been a most valuable experience. Of course I feel that life in a different country is different in many ways. What are the differences? Well, in language and customs, such as Hi instead of Sawatdi, a little more of a rush in doing things, and the rights of the kids to show their ideas. There is also a difference in food. However, l realize that there are some basic moral principles and ways of behaving that are common or should be common! This means that people in dil- ferent parts of the world can make understanding, which is the goal of the peace that we need in our world today. The love and understanding I have gotten will stay in my heart and this love and understanding will be shared with other Thai people. My home address is 32211 Sapan Yao, Opp. G. P.O., New Road, Bangkok, Thailand. Welcome every American! Here I am with the other members of my family. Sue Kraeblen is Homesteads A.F.S. student to Australia. By leaving in January, she was able to arrive in Denistone, Australia in time for her fall semester at Methodist Ladies College. She has been kept busy with barbeques, teas, and luncheons. She has also visited such places as Royal Na- tional Park, Wollongong Beach, and Palm Beach. We're looking forward to hearing more about her experiences next January when she returns.
