It has been over two years since she arrived. The experience changed both her and us. But even though it has been so long now it is still a conversation starter or something that interests people a great deal.
Being an "international" family is so normal to us that we sometimes forget how the other half lives. We feel so priviledged that we have have had the opportunity to invite the world inside our own home. And my reason number two for having an exchange student may sound a bit thick but I feel proud that I made the world a little bit smaller and helped further international cultural exchange and opened communication between people. And through casual dinner conversations or lunch with collegues I continue to do so. I wonder if everyone had to have an exchange student if there would be so much conflict in the world ... or just in Denmark?
