The student from Zurich, Patrice, has arrived! Unfortunately, I couldn't meet him at the airport like my friends and their families did because I was at two conferences at Stanford. When I got back tonight, Patrice was upstairs in my brother's room. I will post pictures as soon as I take them. We had a nice dinner with him, asked him a lot of questions. Since he's been in an intensive English class for a few years in Zurich, his English is fine and can understand much of what we say. He seems like a nice guy and I'm looking forward to getting to know him.
There are a handful of scheduled events planned for the Zurich kids in San Francisco; they're going to a Cal/Stanford football game, visiting the Logitech facilities (I guess it's a Swiss firm), and touring the campus of UC Berkeley. On Monday, he will shadow me in classes, and after that he will go on a special schedule to classes at my high school.
Thank you for sharing your shnigits and a very entertaining speech without an annoying slideshow! Ein ausserordentlich sympathischer und authentischer Auftritt von meinem Blogger Idol!
