* Housing:
How satisfied were you with your living arrangements? |
The host family was very nice and easy to get along with. I and two other Americans stayed with a mom and daughter in a medium sized apartment. I was able to have a room to myself; however, my two roommates shared a room. The apartment was fairly nice and it had wireless internet (a huge plus). |
| * Food: |
The only complaint I have about my host family is that they were a little stingy on the food that we paid them to provide. As part of the program, the host family was supposed to feed us for all three meals. The family only had corn flakes that we could help ourselves to for breakfast. They always provided lunch and dinner, however, the portions were not large enough for three 20 year old guys. Overall, though, it was a great experience! |
