...a foreign exchange student from Spain arrived at my home. He is only staying in the US for four weeks, as opposed to a full school year, so my family thought it would be a good way to see how adding an extra person to our home works, without committing to a nine month stay; if this is a good experience, we'll probably consider the full school year program.

So, post your experiences with exchange students/random people from other countries!

In like 2002 or 2003 the mom of these two girls I'm friends with decided to take in an exchange student from Mexico. The girl was a total *****, had no respect for the mom at all, and I think ultimately got kicked out of the home/school and sent back early.

Yeah, exchange students can either be horror stories, or absolutely perfect. I think it depends on the country.

My Japanese Delegate that stayed with us for 10 days was cool, but WAY too quiet. We speak ok Japanese, and she speaks rather good english, yet she still stayed in my room and didn't come out unless we were eating or going somewhere.

There was a German exchange student in our school from Berlin last year. He was so freaking cool. He ended up hanging out with my friends and I all year long. Getting trashed with a German was a good time.

When I asked one Spanish exchange student about wines, he told me Spanish wines are especially good. That advice hasn't failed me since then.

We've hosted a few kids from France.

The guy was totally cool and his family and our family are good friends and whenever we're in France or they're in the Southeast US we make it a point to stop by.

The girl was completely antisocial and spoiled. All she did was sleep and complain about doing things.

I stayed with a host family last year in Brussels. They were completely cool and I feel bad that I didn't speak better French, but since I wasn't there to learn French, I didn't feel bad.

There have been many (though in school, not my home), some have been neat, some just people, and then there was this Austrian girl:

FGR, your stories are epic.

Last year we had a german foriegn exchange student named Katarina, as some of you may remeber. She spoke good english and it was funny when she couldn't think of a proper word. She also hates peanut butter. We hang out with her most of the semester.

There's also this danish chick that hates America.

Thats normal.

In my experience, asian people never leave the safety of their rooms.

They're scared of western caucasian GIANTS!

Ruthven decides that all Japanese must be afraid of people in general when he finds that a majority of them run away from him. Little does he know, there's a flaw in his studies:

He rapes a majority of the asians he sees.

Back in high school, there was a german foreing student studying at are school. She had seriously the cutest of faces and I got to know her pretty well and she took a fancy in me.

But then I discovered she did not shave her armpits. That disgusted me.

I remember I once moved mid-school year between towns, nothing big, had to change schools, it's OK, middle of seventh grade. I think it was February. So, at the new school, I became friends with this one kid named Vitali. He was cool, but whenever I had to spell-check or grammar-check his writing for class, it was abysmal. Seriously. I even used to rag on him, because in my family can't spell = st00pid.
End of the year rolls around, and the teachers are giving out awards, and... ugh, it still pains me to this day.
"The award for best improvement in language skills goes to Vitali!"
"What?" I asked the kid next to me, "How did he[/i[ get an award? Have you read his writing?"
"What the hell are you talking about, Brian?
He moved from the Ukraine in September and couldn't speak a word of English."

-Seriously, no accent or anything. I had been ragging on this guy for half a year because he couldn't write properly, turns out he learned to speak flawless English in two months.
