Genesea,

You might want to consider what someone suggested: starting a new post.

However you handle it, please do keep it going.

Quite enjoyable.

Well, I started another thread, but I think it was deleted ... so when I have some time I'll write about my Christmas experience.

secular, I didn't know that about France. Good for them.

Hey, Genesea, how's it going?
Happy New Year to you!
We love your posts, and are envious of your experiences. Keep it up!

Us2 -

Her posts are fine, but please don't speak for others when expressing envy. Studying abroad had been VERY common for quite some time - any many people posting here have done so. Many people enjoy these posts for reasons OTHER than envy, i.e. those who also studied aboard feel a sense of camaraderie, etc.

What a pathetic post! I was not including YOU... just US at this computer. Geesh! Go have your camraderie!

US 2, good for you.

Not Exactly needs to lighten up. Tedious. Tedious.

'Not Exactly' poster is spot on.

And why are this persons two threads always topped in unison?

Hmm

I have to agree that some people do go strangely overbaord in the DEGRGEE of their positive reactions to threads of this nature - although some people were much more extreme in going gaga over Beth Anderson's attempted move to London. Her posts were harmless, but some people responded as if she was reporting back to us about her explorations on Mars. More than a quarter of a million U. S. residents move abroad EVERY YEAR. Studying abroad has become increasingly common over the last 20 years - and it's a wonderful experience.

Genesea - this was not meant to be directed at you in anyway. I hope you are having a wonderful time and that you will continue to share.

I think you are from this area perhaps you can help me. What can you tell me (if anything) about Paso Robles & places to stay there. Hope all is well we've not heard from you in awhile. Cheers !

I'm sorry this post is sooo late. I started another thread, so I haven't been back to this one in a while. I do live in Paso Robles -- if you need any help let me know!
