5/29/2007 - Buy "The Exchange Student Survival Kit" by Bettina Hansel
An essential guide for young people traveling abroad, The Exchange Student Survival Kit helps them better understand the unique experience of international exchange programs and avoid many common misunderstandings and problems that may occur in the course of their adjustment to a new culture, a new family, a new school and a new community.
The Exchange Student Survival Kit, 2nd Edition is filled with examples taken from the experiences of dozens of exchange students from a broad spectrum of cultures. The updated edition includes information on new technologies such as email, instant messaging, cell phones, blogs, online games, and internet searches; tips on travel safety in a time of terrorism and war; and advice on how to handle cultural changes such as eating habits, religion, consumerism and globalism.
• “When it comes to understanding both the pitfalls and pleasures of an international home stay there is no better source of advice for both the students and their hosts.”
— Bruce La Brack, Professor of Anthropology and International Studies, University of the Pacific
• “The Exchange Student Survival Kit will be of tremendous help for everyone involved in the exchange student field, and by extension, everybody who deals with cross-cultural differences.”
— Dr. Mietta Rodeschini Denti, President, Rotary Club Bergamo, Ovest, Italy
