He may be a missionary kid, I don't know. I was wondering if anyone had any advice. I really don't know if this is good or bad. I've already emailed the guy.

WHO ARE YOU
i've had a rather embarrassing situation with an exchange student, though. last fall i was working in the cafeteria, and there was this guy who talked with a british accent, and i could tell he was an exchange student...b/c there were a few others he hung out with, i guess. i don't remember. anyway..i finally asked him one day if he was from England.
he was from new zealand. *AUGH!!!!!*
I hated working in that cafeteria. *L* and they guy must think i'm REALLY weird now. he always looked at me funny after that.*LOL*

Exchange students are great fun. The sad part is, twenty years from now this guy's only memory of Canada is likely to be me.
May God have mercy on his soul...
