What the f*** is this?

Okay, so as some of you may know, I'm home schooled and have been for a little over a year. I've enjoyed it much more than regular school and I plan on sticking with it until I get a job or go to college or whatever. But today, I got a letter.

The letter is from a group that I've never heard of called People to People. The letter mentions me and uses my real name and it says they know I'm home schooled and (obviously) where I live so its not just some random crap thats sent to just whoever lives at the current house. The letter was talking about becoming an exchange student.

I didn't think thats how you become an exchange student, but whatever. It says, and I'm quoting this, "To the parents of Julian King, Julian is invited to travel and study in Australia in the summer of 2010...All students must be invited annually, so we are pleased to offer Julian this once in a life time opportunity to travel on a 2010 program."

I don't know why I got this.

So my question is, what do my fellow Escapists make of it? I have no idea what to make of it. I'm not 100% convinced that this is for real. Although I have always wanted to go to Australia.

So what do you guys think?

It is quite real, you got it because someone recommended you for it. I was invited a few years back to go to the UK and Ireland but couldn't go due to lack of money. My friend actually went to Japan over the summer as part of this prgram.

Oh, you should have come. I went on that trip, it was totally kick ass.

I was part of that program back around 2005, we were only gone for two weeks (we covered most of the east coast: Sydney, Melbourne, Cairn, A bunch of national parks, Frasier Island). The organization is credible and Australia is pretty kickass as far countries go.

It seems legit...
I'd do eet.

...Although, the name "People to People" does kinda sound like a slave trade... : /

Could you take the 'fuck' out of the title? We don't mind cursing when it's reasonable, but not so much in a title where people can't avoid it should the mood take them.

Also, (providing it's legit) come to Australia! Our spiders don't like the taste of foreigners as much!

Come to Australia, You might accidentaly get killed.
