Whenever people ask me “how is your host family?” I always had countless things emerge in my mind because the do thousands of things for me. I remember that one winter night I spent the night at my friends house. At 10 o'clock in the evening, my mum and dad came over just to give me an extra blanket just in case I won't get cold. That's maybe just a little thing but it in my heart forever.
