she would like to
do more travelling
and her next
excursion would
be to the father-
land of Germany
because the 17 -
year -old . has been
taking German in
school. She'd like
to get a first hand
experience of the
language.
Rantaniaki is a
little farther, away
in the city of
.Kurikka, Finland
and chose Canada
because she heard
most of the people:
here are very nice.
She also wanted to
go to a bigger
country and chose
Canada for obvi-
ous reasons. One
of the things she
was not used to
was Southwestern
Canada's humid
summers. With an
• average summer
temperature of
around 18 degrees
celsius for
,Rantamaki, it was
something to get
used to for her.
She did mention
that she had a very
enjoyable time
with her two
exchange families
and leave _with
good memories,
"1 wanted to see
different parts of
the world, meet
new people and I
just like to travel
in general," said
Rantamaki.
One
Rantamaki
of
best
experiences of her
trip to Canada was
the : Charie Shaw
International
Riverstone Retreat
in Durham, where
she was able to
talk to and enjoy a
fevw days with
other exchange
students from
around the world.

experience. They
have been doing
exchanges for

"You get to learn

Bill Robinson.
"Unless you travel
you wouldn't be
able to learn the
things we have
