If you are considering being an exchange student or hosting an exchange student, you may have gone to the internet to gain insight and information. Unfortunately, what you will mostly find from this resource is one-sided perspectives rather than realities of the exchange student experience.
Why is this the case?

Shadi loves flowers. She planted her own tulips last year and was so excited when they bloomed. In typical Shadi fashion, she cut them and gave them away to people that had been nice to her. These are some photos I took today of the flowers in our yard.

		<description><![CDATA[Badal is a 2005 documentary that was filmed in Israel by the director Ibtisam Mara&#8217;ana. Badal marriages are a cultural tradition where a brother and sister of one family are married to a brother and sister in another family.
