There’s nothing like those first moments of being with your
host family. The moments when you will
no doubt be greeted with hugs and kisses and warm words. The moments when although you may have
arrived at midnight after a ten hours’ journey, they will still prepare a huge
table of food and force you to eat even though you aren’t hungry. When they will pour drinks and make
toasts to you and your country and friendship and will continue to smile and
hug on you and hold your hand just because they are glad you are there. So many words will be said, and while
few of these words will be familiar, everything will be understood because love
has its own language. There is
nothing like the undeniable realization that people are good everywhere, and
that no matter where you go in the world, you will find good people who welcome
you into their lives with love and kindness and friendship. There’s nothing like feeling at home in
a foreign country.
