Switzerland
Cool huh?
But I don't have to go there. Nope. They're currently still looking for some other places for me to go (such as Sweden). But it's good to know I have a place to go. I have three families lined up for me in Switzerland that I could live with.
But the question is. Is this where I want to go? Should I wait?
I have one to two weeks to make my decision. Time to do some research...
Switzerland:
It's here:
They have cool photo frames (old blog).
Did you know that...
- They have the highest chocolate consumption in the world! It's around 22 lbs (10 kg) per person!
- They have the 4th highest cheese consumption too at 20.6 kg per capita!
- They speak German (64%), Italian (6.5%), French (20.4%), and some Ramanish (less than 1%)
With ninja stuff like that, I think I'd like it there.
If anyone knows anything about Switzerland (besides the fact that it's cold, it costs a lot of money to live there, or that they tuck their pants into their socks) feel free to tell me

Alright, I shall leave you your first comment, since I know you like that sort of thing. Whenever I think of Switzerland, I think of The Magic Mountain by Thomas Mann. Perhaps that would be interesting reading for you. Maybe you could even manage to read it in the original German a year from now, but I would try the English translation first. It's complex, so two readings are recommended anyway. As if you needed anything more to fill up your hours. :)
This is exciting. I only wish I could go too. You're going to have such vivid moments to look back on for the rest of your life. I hope you have a blast. You'd better keep in touch, though, for you will be missed..
hello :)
I'm Swiss and I'll go to the USA for an exchange year in 08/09. If you have any questions about Switzerland don't hesitate to ask, I'll always try to answer, though my english isn't very good (sorry!).
