be herding foreign students this evening. Sometimes they're quite young.

it's a sort of cultural exchange school. They start off staying together in one of the local schools and then the ones who seem to be coping the best are farmed out to selected families for an even more immersive experience.

one of the cultural items on their itinerary.

that sef_lopod is indeed that thing.

did something like that when she was in school. The British students spent a month with us first, then we came over and spent a month with them. It's still one of my favorite things I've done in my life.
