On August 16, I returned from
Switzerland after a wonderful
month long trip.
Ileft on July 15 for Zurich byway
of Amsterdam and spent the first
four days in Sursee, a pretty Swiss
village southwest of Zurich, with
the family of the president of the
Lions Club.
I learned a little about Swiss
wine-making as my host family ran
a vineyard. I spent the next 10 days
atthe Lions Youth Exchange Camp
in Kartause Ittingen. There were
50 campers including six from
Canada, representing 18 coun
tries. I shared a room with girls
from Denmark, Iceland and Japan.

many different cultural back

experiences was the highlight of
my trip.
The final two and one half weeks
were spent with two different host
families in Sursee. I did a lot of
shopping and sightseeing in the
local area. I especially enjoyed the
August 1 holiday festival - it’s a
very big celebration there. All my
host families were wonderful to me
but by the end of the trip 1 was
looking forward to coming home.
There’s no country like Canada.
1 would like to thank the Brussels
Lions Club for giving me the
opportunity to travel to a beautiful
country and meeting so many
interesting people. It was a chance
of a lifetime I will always cherish.
