School Foreign Exchanges
 

I'm going on my french exchange soon to Bordeaux and I'm really excited!

I had a french correspondant before, but I was filling in for someone who dropped out, so I didn't get the chance to go over!

What about you? Have you been on a exchange before? Would you go on one? Or be too scared? :laugh:

I've had a few like twice in England, once in Italy and once in Russia. I am keeping in touch with them, all of these exchanges have been some of my best moments in my life. It's so amazing !

Did a half exchange once where we just went to live with them, they were really nice and they were really rich. I don't like the shutters French people have on their windows though :sad:

I went to Boulogne I think, but school took us to Disneyland and other places anyway

What's wrong with Shutters ? I had this issue in UK but on the other way round, the light in the morning was pi$$ing me off ! lol

And Disneyland is ace ! :hugesmile:

It was too dark, I couldn't see my hand in front of my face it was that bad :tongue:

Obviously its fine when youre asleep but not when you're used to having the landing light on so you can actually see :joker:

I've always wanted to go on one/have someone over, but we don't really have space in our house, and the opportunity to go over has always had the condition of having them back at yours - which I can't do.

Our school doesn't do anything like that, besides i don't think i'd go on one lol.

Curtains?

Nahh our school dunt do them and I wouldnt want to go to Germany lol. (do german)

Yep I had that in my rooms but still, I could see light through it. When I told that to my mum she was like 'Those British are more weird than I thought' lol

You must have had shite curtains then. I can't see the light through mine in my house.

I'm going on one to Germany in Feb.

I bet I stay with some right hairy people :(

I could never do it,I'm a homebird and I'm rubbish at languages. I'd never survive! I get homesick far too easier and thats even when I'm with friends.

I went on a french exchange in year 9
and a german exchange beginning of year 11

both were brilliant in different ways
