This is his e-mail sharing his experiences.

Hi,

I did not know four months in a different country could bring about so much change in some one, specially some one like me. People always ask me if I miss home a lot, which I do sometimes but not to the extent of going back .

My cousin (Arjun) told me you will cry when your leaving for the US and cry even more when you will have to come back. I had no idea what he was talking about untill I came here.

I am with my second host family right now and have 4 host brothers and 2 host sisters. That is a big number so counting me there are 9 people in the house. Well they have a huge house with 9 bedrooms, so my first few days here I would spend time searching for my room.School is going great as there is nothing better than seing your friends everyday.

Just want to thank you guys for supporting me and showing me the way when I was clueless and living the ordinary life. Well now I have something, actually soo many things to share with you people I would probably not be allowed to be on the computer for that long.

Have a district orientation today, something I await, where I will meet all the exchange students. On this orientation all students have to make a dish from their country and I am just off to the kitchen to make my butter chicken. Will write to you guys again.

Thanks

Mohit or Mo (my identity in the US).
