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.
