ouch...thats shitty dude.

i've never heard of many overally excited stories about exchange programs. i'd only want to go to another country on my own doing. when you're over 19, you want to do things on your own watch. on the downside, i do agree with tordan, that its a huge responsibility on the host families part, if you got shot downtown TO one nite, they'd sure have a good time explaining that one to your parents. (i did not use that hypothetical example to make TO luck dangerous, becuase on the most part it isn't, so don't jump on me for that )

Originally posted by Jayx1 sadly i cant offer you under the table work but if you buy your own food and pay for some electricity i would consider it. i live in oakville which is 25 mins from downtown.

Thats awesome, thanks a lot for even considering it

It would be kinda more expensive tho, but it would be worth it... only problem would be to convince my mom to pay the extra money cause i want to live with this guy from toronto that i met on an internet forum

i can always have it in my mind otherwise and take some bigger risks, and if i get kicked out i have a plan b... or i could just stay at some youth hostel...

@ Tordan & djbruuen, yeah im defentely thankful for them opening up their home to me, but at the same time, that doesnt give them the right to prevent me doing anything, i still paid lots of money to go here and i also offered a year of my life to experience their culture, and im not even allowed to see all the culture! and im 19 so it really shouldnt be any problems with liability... but yeah perhaps the organisatin is made in such a stupid way so that it is... but then again, the organisation should have informed about that beforehand, and made it clear that this is how its going to be, dont excpect to be able to take yourself freedoms such as going to the prom afterparty

yeah its the organization and the host family that screwed him. And as i see it, being over 18 means the only person responsible for you is you. You are not a minor which is probably who these rules apply to. If you are out late at night and something happened to you, they would only be responsible if you were a minor. To me they just brought you over so you could do chores.

anyways let me know if u are in... id certainly want to leave. Hopefully you can get a good experience here. Please understand that the problem is with the host family not the place. Except of course when it comes to the dating scenario, because thats our fucked up culture talking there.
