When I was an exchange student in USA, my friend always wanted to know how old I was. I could not
understand why my new friends needed to know my age. I was not sure whether to tell the truth, because I
was younger than them. I also wondered why they didn’t asked me about my grades or skills, but then I
realized that in that place, questions like that were considered inappropriate . At first month I was very
confused and afraid and I wondered also who the person with black glasses was, because he was always in
the university with my class and he always looked at me. I don’t know if he was first or second course
student but at first, I was afraid because I thought he was chasing me. I laugh at all this now but when you
are in a foreign country, surrounded by strangers it is very difficult to be calm and not worry about anything.
