The exchange experience

For those wondering what its like, as a general description, to go through a year of exchange, here's a link to a friends blog (living in the south of spain) who wrote about it. I'd try to describe it myself, but I don't think I could put it any better than she did. I'm in complete agreement with everything she says here: http://marybeth-afs.blogspot.com/2011/05/illusion-of-exchange.html
