Hi, I’m Randall. From time to time, I often think what can international students do to provide a meaning experience for themselves and also to show respect to the home country where they’re visiting. And here are several ideas.

Number one: Always obey the rules of the road, and that includes wearing your seat belt.

Number two: Avoid underage drinking, for your safety and for the safety of others.

And finally, if you’re living with a host family, obey the rules of that particular family, whether it be with curfew, whether it has to do with where you go and so forth. All of these things can provide a meaningful experience for you and show deep respect for the country where you are living.
