    I'm actually warming up toward the idea of student exchange, but I'll have to get more details myself.

More details, huh? Ok. Here goes. We got awesome food, awesome music, awesome art, awesome cars, awesome shopping, awesome parks, awesome museums, zoos, and aquariums, awesome sports, and more! Most importantly, we have awesome, wonderful, amazing citizens of all types. You wanna be here. ;)

Hah, sorry. I meant "I need more info from my end; when and where can I go, for how long and what kind of stipend/accommodations I might need" plus all that student visa stuff. But all of these sound interesting ;).

Do you think Lewis and Clark had to go and get visas and all that stuff when Jefferson asked them to explore the Louisiana Purchase? Hell no. He just called them into his office and said "Yo. Get your shit cause I'm sending you on an extreme camping trip."

Get your shit Devac and go camping. Visas be damned.

I would absolutely adore history teacher with this style of presentation :D. I'll just walk confidently to your border control (TSA?) and answer all questions with "manifest destiny".

Try to stop me now, America!

If I were border patrol, "Manifest Destiny" would be the secret code word to automatically be allowed in. I think there's a reason I don't work border patrol.

If you do make it here, find a friend with a Hulu account and check out Drunk History. It's nothing short of magical.

I actually bought Season 1 on youtube last night. Don't have cable, so it was worth the $12
