Hi,

just came back from Georgia visiting with my wife and son my daughter. She is for one year as a high school exchange student close to Atlanta. We live in Switzerland.

She has a really nice host family. Great and beautiful country! Nice people! We loved it. My daughter said she doesn't want come back to Switzerland -- so I guess that tells how well she is doing.

Thank you for your hospitality America!

And thank you for the nice complement and recognition of our country's hospitality. Though I'm not from Georgia, I have to state that too many perceptions of folks from other lands seem to view us as being a negative civilization. Nice to hear something pleasant from across the big pond.

Not sure you could have picked a nicer place to visit. Family and I visited there from CA last year. They seem to have the nicest bunch of folks there.

I would love to go to Switzerland someday.

Thanks. I have never been in California, but a lot in Texas, Arkansas, Oklahoma, North Carolina ...and now in Georgia. All nice places and people.

Hopefully I someday visit also California.

I think generally people are the same all over the world, minus the governments. I have visited Canada a few times and thought people were nice there too.
