Just found out today that my cousin and her son will be coming there for a bit of time this fall. She has a fellowship at some Uni... (don't have much detail right now.) Her son is coming too and will be attending school there also. I don't think they have a bona fide host family so I am sure that they could use a life line or two and get connected with a friend. Well we have plenty of those here!
I will be speaking to her soon. When I get some more detail I will pass it on. If you think you may be able to help out in any small way direction, where to shop, where's the best eats... that sort of thing. Let me know.
