I am going to be a short term exchange student this year and I am trying to decide where to go, does anyone have any suggestions?- I want to go somewhere that the primary language is Engilsh because I will only be there for 3 weeks. I was thinking about going to Canada (because I would go there in early January) or Alaska (for the SNOOW and I hear it rocks there) but I don't know where to go.- Help- I need to pick the country, and city by the end of this week so I can turn the application for exchange in by friday. thanks. lates.

Just say F@$# it and huck it!

I don't think Alaska counts because it's part of the U.S. Go to B.C. or Charmonix

I did absolutely nothing and it was everything I thought it could be.
 
I don't have to leave the country- that is just the choice that most people make- -- I was just thinking about alaska- it won't be my final decision- it wasto show that i wanted to go somewhere with snow.

Just say F@$# it and huck it!

Australia

okay, i just gotta say...please stop making the FARP video things. Its cool if you wanna make them and all, but dont make a website about it etc. Or at least get better first. You are hurting the industry. When snowboarders see skiers like Fred and Randall doing stupid flailing 360 attempts 8 inches off the ground, they laugh there heads off, and skiing takes another blow. So please, if you wanna make your movies, thats cool. But just stop trying to get noticed. Thats all. Peace. P.S. Your spinning the wrong way.-sunvalleyskibum
 
i was going to go to australia during the summer but i don't want to wait until summer- i have camp then

yeh just come to Canada, its cheaper than the U.S and the legal drinking age is lower (as if that makes a difference)....you can go plenty of places to ski but I suggest the Rockies (thats the west coast, in B.C)

Just a thought

'Hey check this out'
 
somewhere in the alps. you will be impresed by the size of them and the skiing there are so sick

What's the point in being an exchange student and not experiencing any truly foreign culture? You should go to something in the Eastern hemisphere and at least get something out of it.

if your in spanish class, go to spain, it'll be easiest to talk with the people, ya hear?

 
join the army and experience the culture of iraq hahahaha

more like destroy the culture of iraq, but hey, you get a gun, hopefully an automactic one too.

 
I agree with Lauren, and if you better not come to Alaska. This is my territory, and I will mark it any way I have to

You're wasting your own time.... and 'dog-fucking ass clown' is neither clever nor funny nor cruel. In fact, it's so stupid that you can't even laugh it away.

 
yah dude, and that premature baby shit was terrible. when people say things that stupid it makes me think that they really suck at life.

mah baby's got sauce, your baby aint sweet like mihne
 
oh great, know you have skisundownkibber to challenge you to a test of wit, young shittalker.

yesterday (is today sunday? if yea than yea yesterday) i got picked up by this chick hitchin' home and her kid had an exchange student who was going back to wherever (i think maybe germany) and they were taking her to milk a cow 'cause she wanted to do that before she left...

...city people are funny... ...i wonder how many cows die every year from cow tipping by city people up in the country on the weekend and run into a field all drunk and tip a cow... how many?

thanks for the replies- i figured that if i waited a while and didn't post any responses, i would get more lagit answers- and i did. i would love to go to the french alps, chile, latvia, argentina, or africa, but, i am only going for 3 weeks and i feel that the language barrior would block me from getting the most out of the trip (mainly because 3 weeks isn't long enough to fully learn and understand a language or culture). i was thinking about England but 2 girls from my school went there over the summer so they don't think that they could place me very easily.

I am torn between canada and australia > my sponsores want me to go to Canada because, there is this big confrence thing there in January (the same time as i would be there) and they think that i would get alot out of the confrence. But Australia would be amasing (no need to say more.)

What do you guys think?--- but i also still need to pick a city.

Just say F@$# it and huck it!

Afirica would be a problem because it would be very difficult to place me there.- not for language reasons (i checked that out.)

We are looking into me doing long term exchange but that is very difficult to be accepted for and it involves alot more planning.- If i do long term, I want to go to argentina or chile, but right now, the only thing i need to worry about is getting this application for placement in by friday.- which means i need to pick a city.

Go to Florence, Italy. ski hills suck, but they are a hour away, no drinking and smokimg age, clubs everywhere. Seriously look at it, i went there for two weeks and it kicked so much ass.

Australia is absolutly amazing...

im lookin into transferin for a semster of univeristy in Brisbane area. It depends on what u want to get out of the whole trip. I did 2 weeks in El Salvador and you would be surprised at how quickly u pick things up especially when there is a language barrier...

Italy is definately cool, just make sure if you are in a city you look at the drivers in the eyes when you cross the road - otherwise there is a good chance they'll hit ya.

Other than that, Australia (or New Zealand) seem like a cool idea, and I think would definatley be fun.

 
I was thinkin to myself.... does this guy even speak English??? And then I realized that, yeah Lane, he does, and he types it too.... I need sleep....

Tell them that if they don't place you in South Africa you'll jizz on their children. I'm sure you could go there without language being a big problem. I bet it's a really beautiful place. I hear Panama is real nice too. You can hang out in the rain forsest for 3 weeks. The only language you'd need to know then is survival. Japan would be really cool too. I think a lot of people there know English.

my friend lives in south africa... he said it is pretty sweet except you gotta be inside by like 7 or it's really really unsafe... and i know another guy who lives in costa rica... he said it's cool there... man people speak english everywhere.

 
Dallan, seriously people make out that Australia is more dangerous than it really is, I assure you that spiders and snakes will not worry you here. You've been watching too much Crocodile Hunter lol!!!

 
Yeah come to Australia.

Kim's right, it's not really dangerous at all here, especially in the cities (New York much more dangerous!) if you go out to the bush then you may come across some mean animals but most of us don't actually live out there, and the whole Crocodile Dunde and Croc Hunter image is in the main wrong.

Basically were like any western country but more laid back and more sun.

 
come to finland, you can stay at my place

Austrlia is nice, for those ignorant poeple thinking its all outback like conditions there are actually rainforest and such. PLus some of the best skiing I have ever had was there ( it was a good year) And Costa Rica is nice. The capital San Jose is a shithole, but if your not staying there its good. The East Cost of Costa Rica has a lot of drug stuff going on, so its really dangerous. But the west cost is great.
