US of A

heyho mates!
So, I'm going to do this exchange year overseas in a hostfamily and some days ago I got the letter in which they told me in which district they are searching for my family: the Midwest, fuck yeah. For all ya uneducated gamers, this is North Dakota, South Dakota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska.

Although it's practically the middle of nowhere I am looking forward to spending my time there. Nevertheless I don't know much about it, except for Chicago, the Mall of America in Minneapolis and the corn, maize and wheat...

So guys, could you share your knowledge about this area with me?

how did u get that fixed, idd love to go to the USA
rly intrested to see how stuff is there ^^
eventho the TSA will prolly touch my weiner while searching me @the airport
us security is so sick. to apply for a visa you gotta answer questions like if you ever have taken part in genocide, if you are member of a terror organisation, if you plan to take part in terrorist activities :D
Parent
:DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
i would say im a member of al qaeda,
but idd prolly get taken seriously :DDDDDDD
Parent
:DDDDDDD thats so sad rly ^^
btw how did u get that deal,
was it a thing u fixed with school?

school has nothin to do with it. there are several exchange organisations out there such as YFU (which is the best), AFS or EF. You can make this year in many countries of the world. they send you a form which gotta fill in then they invite you to an interview in which they decide to pick you or not (chance in yfu for usa: 50%).
it costs 7500€ + money you need over there + money you spend for optional trips hosted by the organization. and in july/august/septembre the experience begins :)

When I went to Michigan some security man at Detroit Wayne customs looked at my passport, saw my last name was Koch looked at me, smiled strangely and said "I'm wearing a Heckler & Koch right now". Unnecessary to say I was moderately scared.

From what I saw when I was there (which, sadly, was only two weeks): Chicago is pretty amazing, Detroit is a shit hole, lots of Christians, and, from personal experience, girls are secretly slutty. Also remember to bring your passport when you're trying to get into Canada, things may get awkward if you don't.
Parent
that's the way i imagine my arrival

north dakota/south dakota: epic fight with bears, hiking, visit indians
a friend did that, she was in illinois too.

i thougt why the fuck would you want to live in the middle of nowhere at a random family in a tiny village. no beach, no megacity, nothing.. anyways she had nothing but positive experiences she said so i guess it will be fun for you.
I just made great food with my boyfriend :) some chicken with rise. We did enjoy couple glasses of wine too with candels. Im so happy nowadays I prolly ask permission to suck his cock tonight :) Should I? I don't know because If it wont last and he wants only sex :/. That's why I got other relationship too but it's with a girl. I wont tell her that im bi untill we are so deep in love that I could ask her to fuck with double peneration with me and my boyfriend. I can't decide which I want women or men. men body is so attractive that I get boner instead when I see hot asses and abs.

Metsuri xoxo<333 my men
ah, so you are that boyfriend huh?

Can't tell you anything about the Midwest but I'm sure it'll be awesome. Have fun :)
that long hair dont hide the red neck son
i feel soooo bad for you. anything is more popular than the midwest. even in the US itself.
so basically you saying your happy to to visit a place somewhere in nowhere? great success.
happiness is not about the place to be, but the people who you are with
Parent
you dont know the people yet :)

e: maybe you will face typical american conservative republican fuckfaces, guided by there own ignorance and "patriotism". :)
Parent
Oh boy

If you wanna spent your time in NA go to Canada, the ppl there are at least somewhat educated

middle of nowhere! Not my place of choice to go in the US, but the way of life is more relaxed and well its america, there will be hawt chicks everywhere. Do prepare for a house and comfort standards (internet and what not) way below to what you are used to now. Oh and eating Wendys everyday
anything positive?
Parent
hot chicks, general climate, chillaxed lifestyle? hope you don't get to go to nebraska cuz there really is fuck all to do there. are you 21?
Parent
hehe no, 17 ;)
Parent
oh well hf ':D'
Parent
would love to go there :$
well, might do so in a yr
I've never been to any of those states yet... but I've heard Kansas and Illinois are some of the best places to travel. Wisconsin is nice too.

I'd avoid Missouri.. or at least the people there.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
usfags reporting for duty.

only massachusettes (?) couldve made it worse
i would avoid going to much into the bible belt area, unless you want your hostfamily to drag you into church every sunday morning.
also i would guess that the girls there arent as unreserved as in CA for example. but who knows, maybe it's just the opposite?
and i dont think its bad when you go into a "not so big" city, i mean it shouldnt be a tiny village with only farmers around, but it doesnt have to be a metropole like NY either, because i mean..chicks are always hot in the usa, and being in a smaller city may increase your chances of getting laid by some farmers daughter
(wouldnt count on that tho :>)
-> end up in America
-> your family turn out to be insane christian rednecks
-> the father of the house guards the front of the house in a wheelchair with a sawed off shotgun
-> you say your prayers before proceeding to eat a piece of meat, peas and corn every day
-> you get caught playing Quake III Arena, your hostfamily holds you down screaming "THE POWER OF CHRIST COMPELS YOU" and proceed to lock you in a closet or basement where you end up living inside a cage for the rest of the visit.

!!!
A friend had his home in nebraska and he said he had a good time. You should def play the school sport or however you want to call it so you meet ppl and make conections.
Illinois is your best bet out of those states. There's honestly nothing in the midwestern US, unless you're already used to farm towns and religious fanatics.
