There is no absolute best place for everyone. It really depends on what your interests are. Any of the countires you listed could be great experiences for you. Choose the place that most interests you - they will all be sufficiently different from what you're used to that you can see, do, and learn a lot.

i have that same question i got the same letter but mine says im going to japan i dont know if its real i hope so
2 :
It is real, because i had the same question as you last year, and i researched that the invitation is real. However, it is really expensive, and i heard from people, who went there, that it is really boring. If possible go to HOBY, it is really fun and you learn a lot.

NO, it is not a scam! lol. i went on a trip last year with people to people to England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales. it was the best time of my life! i met sooo many amazing kids and learned sooo much! it's not like school or anything, you pretty much go to a bunch of places and learn. you may have a silly little quiz every now and then; but you can't fail. they also give you a high school credit once you have completed the program. also, you were sent that letter because you were either nominated by a teacher or a student in your school that has been on a trip with them the previous year. they don't send it out to everybody....even if you don't have the best grades. yes...it is expensive. most europe (they have ones that go to asia and australia) trips range from $6,000-$8,000. although, you can pay by month (about $900 per month) or choose any other type of billing plan that you want. people to people also offers fundrasing programs. i know a girl that was in my group who raised every single cent for her trip! also, EVERYTHING is included in the price. hotels, 3 meals a day, attractions, transportation, airline tickets, etc are all included. Misc. Info: -most trips last about 20 days. -you go with a "delegation" which is made up of about 40 kids from your area as well as 4 "leaders" who are teachers from your area. -you have a homestay...where you live with a family in the country that you are visiting for 2 or 3 days. -you have to go through a process in order to be accepted (3 letters of reccomendation by teachers/adults and an interview) although, they accept most kids -you have monthly meetings with your delegation before you leave to get to meet the kids and leaders -IT WILL BE THE BEST EXPERIENCE OF YOUR LIFEEEE! have fun, give it a shot and good luck :]

google all the different places and read about them and decide which one you think would be more fun to be in.

First of all, it depends what you like more in a country. I think every country in Europe has it's qualities and it's disadvantages. It also depends from the exchange association. Going through one organization in one country doesn't mean that you will have the same benefits as going through another (the same applies for parts of the same country). Ok, by my opinion, you shouldn't be focused to developed countries. I think you can discover more about Europe if you go to one of the not so famous destinations. Although in a developed country you will have an organized way of living through the services provided by the country, the other countries compensate with the warmth of the people and an open mind to take you to interesting destinations. The same applies to towns and cities. In a city you will have a bunch of activities that you can choose from, so mostly people go to different places and they don't get to close to each other (I am talking of the group that will be in your exchange program). But in a town there will be a bundle of activities and you will mostly share your time with the bunch of people in your exchange program. That will make you closer. I speak from my experience. If you are thinking about a developed country I would say Germany, Netherlands. If you choose these destinations, keep in mind that you always have low fare plane tickets that you can book early and go to the opposite part of Europe (like Italy for instance :) ). If you choose an alternative tourism, embrace yourself for an amazing experience. You will meet one of the best organized people that will take you to parties and places every weekend. Of course that you can organize a trip on your own. In these countries usually your money will "worth" more (you could buy more stuff with the same amount that you bring from home, also the services are cheaper). My experience was through the IAESTE organization. If you have the option you can go to Macedonia (the Former Yugoslav Republic of), or Poland would be a nice destination. Hope this helped!

So, your Top 3 = France, the Netherlands, Belgium. I live in Belgium ^^. Just in between your 2 favorite countries and in your third favorite. 'Is France really different from South-America?' I haven't really had any experience with South-America yet... But personally I think that France is a fantastic country. The people are friendly and as you mentioned; the language is indeed very useful. In Belgium there are 3 communities: one of them is French-speaking. I live in the Dutch-speaking community but I got French lessons at school since I was 10 years old. So I pretty much know how to speak it (I'm a lot better in it than in English ). And French is a quite important language... Since I can't compare South-America with Fr, Be or the Nl. I'm going to compare the 3 countries mutual. France is a little more the southern way of life. (We'll do it, but we can still do it tomorrow.) The people are nice and everything is 'typical'. Personally, I really like it. I like the Netherlands less because generally speaking they're quite loud people, party type... I don't want to insult anyone, this is just my opinion and how I got to know them a couple of times. Then, euhm, Belgium. Yes, we're usually a little more polite. We have a really small country. Our education is one of the best in the world (unfortunately for me: that means that I have to work hard for school ^^) . We don't have a lot of place left to build in our country (in France you can drive a couple of hours without seeing anyone). Belgium is the country of the chocolate and the waffles. (No intention to bribe you) That's about it, I guess. I would say that the country, the closest to your expectations is indeed France. Afterwards I would consider Belgium. Because the people ('the nation') isn't that different, I think. Good luck choosing. x

Whilst I appreciate that It's not one of your first countries on the list, you can find some useful Info on the website here ( www.tumbit.com ) that is applicable to Foreign Students wishing to come to Spain
