For conversation's sake, let's pretend everyone here is in high school. If you are so old you don't remember what high school was like, you are my hero for posting on a video game site.

Anywho, If you were in a foreign exchange program, what country would you want to go to? Do you think you'd fit in well in that country?

If it was a few years back, I would have said Japan. But now, I think i'd like to go England. Always wanted to go there.

What say you, OT?

Come on over bro! It's nice here!

For me... Russia or China... I want to go some place that is more than just culturally different, just different in terms of everyday life... Europe is basically the same as the US at this point, only difference being cultural differences... China and Russia are vastly different.

Japan would be cool, of course I hate Japanese food just as much as I hate Chinese food so I don't know what I would eat there and I don't like anime but I like asian girls and Japan is like asian girl heaven.

England! I think getting around and functioning would be fine but I worry about whatever family took me in. Maybe they'd hate me.

China so I can learn Chinese and network with the Chinese. Will be useful when they inevitably take over the world. :P

But seriously, Germany would be pretty cool.

I might like England, but I'm not a fan of the really strong accents. Gloomy weather is fine though. :D

I'd try to be helpful and all that but it'd be weird living with strangers.

You must love gloomy weather if Seattle's your ideal place! Lots of rain. And it does sound like there's a lot of interesting stuff there.

Hehe, sounds like it (as long as they're not actually wrapped in newspaper). But what about other English foods like... yorkshire pudding? And Haggis- or is that Irish? Who knows.

Oh.
Not sure even though I looked it up but it doesn't sound bad actually.
It's like a cake/bun thing.

If you're ever in Sydney feel free to pop in. :P

And yeah. I'm not a huge fan of hot and dry Australia, so any excuse to rug up and stay indoors is good by me (plus a nice stroll in the rain can be really calming).

I'm surprised you didn't mention meat pie, or shepards mie (a meat pie with mash potato on top). Nom nom nom.

Why Russia?

I wanted to try and learn Russian but it was quite difficult trying to teach myself. I can't really say that the country interests me though.
