Should I kiss my hosts in cheek when I go to Spain?
Should I kiss my hosts in cheek when I go to Spain?
It sounds really funny, I know. Let me explain. I'm from Turkey and I'm going to be a guest of a family in Spain for a while, with a student exchange.In Turkey, when we meet with someone, we kiss them in cheek. Does it sound weird?Can they feel indisposed?Is there a tradition like that in the other countries?

yes this is normal in europe, you should kiss once on each cheek. Only in holland people kiss 3 times, one cheek, other cheek, first cheek. Everywhere else in central europe (including spain) its one cheek, other cheek, Finished. :-)
2 :
Yes it is a sign of respect and is very normal in European countries. As you are in the US we shake hands and if your in China/Japan you bow to show respect and greeting.
3 :
You have to , its a must trust me!! LOL... you kiss both cheeks OK??
4 :
You should take into consideration how they approach you in general. If they keep distant and silent, don't do it. But in Spain it is more likely that you will get a warm and friendly greeting with hugs and kisses from them. I don't think you need to worry about it, just be yourself.
5 :
Be sure to ask them which cheeks, before you do!
6 :
Yes, definitely. if not you will be considered unfriendly.

Which country would you recommend being a foreign exchange student in?
I am thinking about being a foreign exchange student in a couple of years and staying for a semester. I have narrowed it down to these: Thailand Spain Egypt If you were to choose which one you would go to, which one would it be and why? Also would you tell me which one would be your least favorite. Thank you!

No question I'd pick Spain. Thailand has had a lot of political unrest lately - riots and people have been hurt and killed. I'd avoid it until the future. Egypt? Rich history, lovely scenery, but it's not a developed country and the standards aren't the same as in the West. Also, culturally it's very different and it could be tricky at times if you're female because it's not a place with equal rights for women in the same way it is in the West. Spain is a Western country, developed, in Europe with rail and plane links to everywhere in Europe. It's relatively safe and clean and there is a lot to see. Also learning Spanish will be beneficial if you're American and you can do that in Spain.

AFS (afs.org) is an excellent program but it is harder to find scholarships for it but the $10,000 is worth all the pain in trying to get the money. Heres one website what the schools in Spain are like
2 :
www.csiet.org is the website that lists all of the certified Study abroad programs for high school students. You can go there and look up programs.
