Which country should I go to as an exchange student?
Which country should I go to as an exchange student?
Yes, next year I will study one year abroad as an exchange student in high school. I'm a girl from Norway, I already speak english. So I will go to a country where they speak another language(must be latin alphabet). I really like french and portuguese. And I've been thinking about Brazil and Canada, Quebec (French speaking part of Canada). I have some basic knowledge of french btw. I am gay.. And I wonder how Brazilians and Canadians deal with that.. If they are narrow minded or? I would also like to know how canadians and brazilian people are. Are they kind? or proud? I hate proud people that think they are better than others, and that's why I'm not going to France. I hope people in Canada are more open too others from other countries, and not that cold and self centered. I'm also quite laid-back, I for example wouldn't go to a country with very strict dress code. The weather is no problem for me. As long as it doesn't rain every day (as it does where I live). Also, I'm not interested in english or german speaking countries(i'm not much into spanish either btw). France, Italy, Belgium, The Netherlands and Switzerland is not an option either. I think i've limited my options quite a lot. So my main questions is where to go? If Brazil and Canada is a good option for student exchange. What's the negative and positive sides of these countries. Are there many gay people over there? And if the people are nice and open. Oh, and I almost forgot.. are the schools in Brazil or Canada hard? (And, do you know if it's possible to do martial arts and fencing in Canada/Brazil?) Also, If you have any other country to recommend. Please do! Thanks.

I would go to Montreal if I were you. They speak French, it is a big city where you won' t have a problem being gay, it is very lively, and the people are cool. The only bad thing is the weather in winter, as it gets really cold. School wise, there are some very good schools there, and it is easier to get good grades than in Europe.

no canadians won't have a problem with you being gay we allow gay marriage here so prob not especially in quebec people are very.. random there ha ha well i've been there once but anyways and canadians are very laid back people we are proud to be canadian but we won't shove it in your face. i've never been to brazil so dunno about there but i am a canadian so i can tell you stuff about here .. it used to get cold early like november we would get snow but now probably because of global warming the past couple years it only snows in like december this year though i hope will be Better its kinda cold out right now. canadians are generally very friendly happy go lucky people i hope if you chose canada the people treat you right :) oh and yeah you can do martial arts in canada i dunno about fencing though.. and the dress code depends on the school.. as for the schools it depends on what school mine is pretty easy. i live in new brunswick though as for your question [is there many gay people here] yeah i'd say there is i know several gay and bisexual people. and it usually doesn't rain much in canada except in british columbia it's kinda hard to answer your questions asking if the people are narrow minded and are they kind and stuff because everyone is different but i know some really nice people. i dunno if you heard but canadians are said to be laid back friendly people :P well hope i helped bye good luck on your decision make the choice that's right for you.!
