Foreign Exchange Students - June 27th

We are hosting 2 Chinese foreign exchange students for a month.  They don't speak too much English, that's why they are here.  They take classes all day at the University of La Verne.  I take them to school and pick them up and make sure they have breakfast and dinner.  It has been interesting.  They have never been to the U.S. before.  They sure had a fun time at Best Buy and Target looking at all the electronics.  I think they have spent close to $500 in stuff already and they have only been here for a few days!  I was told that they are taxed heavily in China so actually buying all this stuff (that is actually made in China) is cheaper here than back home for them.  They are 12 and 13 years old.  They are bigger than we expected too, which means that they don't fit in the dresser drawers that we cleared out for them.  They are staying in two twin beds in Andrew's room and all our kids are in the girls' room, Ella and Andrew on air mattresses.  More of our experiences with them will come soon!
