THE SOUMD « ' WAGNER PETEir OrPERMilNN LAX this is the beginning of the most exciting and varied year of my life! The most responsible people for this super time are the Hartries who had the endurance keeping me for one year in their household. This year has not been free of some pretty tough culture shocks like the weird feeling of being hugged by a huge monster called Minnie-Mouse , Also my first day at school was an enjoyable experience. Do you remember the assembly when the Harv. introduced me to the student body ' ' I think it was the most embarrassing moment in my life when I felt as if I were being perforated by a thousand pairs of eyes and unable to generate more than the two words: Hi folks . During this year I really have learned a lot from you folks and your country and I hope that you also have learned a little from me. I say welcome to everyone who has the chance to come to my funny little country. There is always a candle burning for you in my window.
