44 —Umcoter Farming, Saturday, Sept. 27. 1975
Farm youth
Jane's home was stucco and very open inside "with
hardly any walls." It was decorated with much Greek and
oriental furnishings.
One interesting aspect of another culture is the food and
Jane said, "The food there was very different.” Breakfast
in her host family was a simple meal, consisting of cither
yoghurt or black bread (which was white) and butter.
The largest meal was at noon. Jane said, "Wc hardly
ever ate meat. There were casseroles with noodles, pizza
pic crusts with fruit or pastry with little pieces of meat,
and there was always a salad." The ingredients for the
meal were always fresh because Jane said her host
mother went marketing every morning.
The evening meal was again a simple one with things
like cheese fondue or luncheon meat and cheese, always
prettily rolled up. And of course, there was bread.
Eating itself was different. Jane said, “They use both
hands. They don’t keep one hand in their lap. Once I got
used to it it was easier and I really enjoyed it."
Food generally was quite expensive, Jane said. An ice
cream sundae cost $2.00 and their delicious chocolate was
also expensive. Jane claimed to have been really fond of
both, and admits to gaining five pounds on her visit.
Clothing and housing also seemed expensive, Jane said.
“It was rare to see anyone building a house.” The young
people wore a lot of blue jeans but a pair could cost as
much as $29.00. Because clothing was so high Jane said,
“They had fewer clothes but of very high quality."
Jane found the youth “more mature than here. There
was no problem making friends. They came and really
made me feel at home. They went out of their way to be
friendly.”
As for dating, it is not done as early as here. They don’t
drive until age 18. “They don’t seem to have experimental
dates. When they do start dating it is likely to be with the
same person for a long time.” Jane said they are also
older when they get married, but financially it is cheaper
not to get married at all, and finding housing is difficult.
Jane said, “there is not the pressure of finding boy
friends.”
Jane felt the exchange trip had changed her somewhat.
“It made me appreciate the United States more. We take
so much for granted. We live so well here. But I did like
the way they live. There is less pressure about what to
wear and less social pressure. I learned to accept people
for what they are.”
Jane highly recommends the YFU program and says
she has one sister who already wants to go abroad. “It is
so much better than just traveling. You learn the culture

Jane is a 1975 graduate of Penn Manor High School
where she played the violin in the orchestra and sang with
the concert choir. She was also a member of the student
council, the track team and manager of the wrestling
team. She is a member of Faith Calvery Church.
Currently a fresnman at Miuersvuie t>taic ijol Ip#p r 3
professes to having mixed feelings when it was time to
come home from her Visit. She said, “I wanted to come
home and see my family, but I was so sorry to leave. It
was just beautiful.”
Jane is one of a growing number of youth who are for
tunate enough to experience life in another country. The
YFU literature explains that one purpose of the program
is to start “conversations.” The many conversations
which have been started must be opening up whole new
horizons for our neighbors in the world community.
