Exchange student finds new challenges Things in the states are much different than they are in Varnaimo, Sweden, says the 1979-1980 Rotary Ex- change student, Martin Green. In preparation to come to this country, Martin looked and found nothing about Ne- braska except that the capital is Lincoln and that North Platte is the county seat. Comparing Sweden and North Platte, Martin said that he especially misses the trees and the good school food in Sweden. One thing he definitely likes about the U.S. is no math and I love it. One major difference in school is that Sweden has more career developing classes in high school and we don't. High School is much easier here than in Sweden, Martin added. Still another difference be- tween Sweden and North Platte is that high school stu- dents in Sweden don't have jobs like we do here. Martin feels that people are much different here than in Sweden: The drug problem is worse here, there is a drinking age here and not in Sweden, and he said he doesn't understand why peo- ple here have big cars with only one person in them. Martin said he likes it here enough to come back in the future to see the people he met here. HJ Pick a card! says Martin Green lon the rightl as he portrayed Father Drobney in the fall play, Don't Drink the Water.
