finding travelmates for Japan/China/VS/... or alternative vacation?
hi, I'm a college student from Belgium and I'm searching for a alternative vacation this summer, I've been thinking about backpacking around europe, getting a last-minuit or lately, traveling to a far destination (preferabel Japan, China or VS) with some people that share the same interest. Anyone know if there are sites that bring such people together? Any suggestion for a budget-friendly vacation or alternative vacation? many thanks =)

Voting is compulsory in Belgium; more than 90% of the population participates. Belgian voters are given five options when voting. They may: Vote for a list as a whole, thereby showing approval of the order established by the party; Vote for one or more individual candidates, regardless of his/her ranking on the list. This is a "preference vote;". Vote for one or more of the "alternates (substitutes);" Vote for one or more candidates, and one or more alternates; or Vote invalid or blank so no one receives the vote While there are some options to vote on more than one person, it should be noted that voters cannot vote for candidates of more than one candidate list (party); doing so makes the vote invalid. Elections for the Federal Parliament are normally held every four years. The regional parliaments are elected every five years, and their elections coincide with those for the European Parliament. Elections for the members of Belgium's municipal and provincial councils are held every six. The next municipal and provincial elections in 2006 and the next general election will be in 2007, the next regional elections are expected in 2009. Belgium does not have elections similar to presidential elections, where only one person can be elected; rather, seats in the parliament, city council or similar are elected, the occupants of which then vote who gets to be prime minister, mayor, governor, etc. This is probably one of the reasons why Belgium does not have a two-party political system, but that there are more than two influential parties per language region. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Politics_of_Belgium

Everyone in Belgium with Belgian nationality has to vote as from the age of 18.

The only Belgians that don't have to vote are the ones not living in Belgium and possible prisoners and people with serious mental health problems. And the ones living abroad are allowed to vote even if they have never paid taxes because they spent all their working lives outside Belgium. Also Belgium doesn't have a president. It is a federal kingdom with a king as the head of state and a prime minister as the head of working government.

Which country should I choose?! Foreign Exchange student question here!?
Which country should I choose?! Foreign Exchange student question here!?
I can be quiet, but I like to have a good time. I'm 15, and will be 16 in December. I enjoy being social, whether it's going to things like Frat Parties or having friends over for drinks. Here's the countries I can pick from... Argentina Italy Australia Japan Austria Mexico Belgium Netherlands Brazil New Zealand Canada Norway Chile Portugal China Puerto Rico Costa Rica Romania Russia Denmark Finland South Africa France Spain Germany Sweden Greece Switzerland Hong Kong Ireland United Kingdom Australia isn't an option, unfortunately due to the prices it would cost. I also am not into skiing so please don't recommend Switzerland because of it's great skiing. lol

i STRONGLY recommend japan. i was a foreign exchange program there and it was the best decision of my life. it was like a dream. because i am American i became instantly popular. the language is easy to pick up on and it look VERY good on a college application. because of japans role in the technology advancement of the world, it almost ensured me getting into a good college. the people were nice and the guys were hot. plus they have alcohol vending machines, walking coca-cola dispensers, hot springs, cute clothes and more. I'm even planning to move back when i graduate to teach English. it is like another world there. a truly great experience!! trust me. hope u have fun!!!!

Sorry, but just from the way that list is arranged, you aren't thinking of going through Two Worlds United are you? Please don't, i've always been told they are a scam, and there are a lot of angry people on the internet wanting their money back. I would go through a more reputable agency, please! Rotary are a much cheaper, genuine agency, or if you want to go commercially perhaps AFS? I was going to suggest Aus, but since its too expensive, i guess that also puts New Zealand out of the question. It just depends, do you want to learn a new language? Where have you always wanted to go? There are shy people in every country.

I'd go to Brazil.

I think Chile...
