Cultures exchanged among students x , k eh I h, Along with twenty-nine other high school students from Indiana, Jerry Lodder spent two months in Germany. There were many differences between the US. and Germany, Jerry stated uThe food is the most striking difference from the L'.S., starting with a meager breakfast of hard rolls and cheese. After the shock of not being able to cut the rolls, lunch proved to be more relaxing, beckoning the foreigner to the table and enthralling him with the warm aroma of bratwurst and cabbage. The evening meal is lighter with wurst leading the way as the typical filler. The widespread use of buses and street cars is sure to bewilder any tourist. I was no exception, losing my way twice in the labyrinth of German mass transportation. As it turned out, Jerry found his way around and had a very enjoyable experience. uI wanted to come to the United States to learn English since I'm going to study Child psychology There are a lot of important books in English and I really like the language. Maria Herrera, an exchange student from Ecuador, spent half the school year in the United States after graduation in her own country. Maria noticed quite a difference between the Ecuadorian and American people. In South America the people are more emotional, and you can show your emotions. There is nothing wrong if you cry whenever you have a reason to. The main difference is when we say hi to a friend or relative. We give a kiss on the cheek, and here you don't do that. This was a really good experience, and I have had a great time. The people are so friendly and very kind to me, especially the Wedowls, my host family. I went to Mexico because I was olffered the chance of a lifetime. I could go and live in a different culture and learn a different lifestyle which was absolutely great. Juli Wedow was able to spend three months in Mexico City as an exchange student. The International Fellowship sponsored Juli, and the Spanish Club contributed some money to help pay her expenses liThe people in Mexico have a very open way of expressing themselves. They come right out and tell you what they mean and don't stammer around like we do looking for something to say. Juli also stated that if anybody ever gets the chance to go and visit a different country, go and have the time of your life because it's such a good experience.
