Well, I am not sure yet how many students will be in Newport next fall. This year there were three, so I would expect she will not be the only one. Thank you for all of the information. Also, there is a Thai Kitchen restaurant in town. I will meet that family before she gets here so maybe she will have a little taste of home. Got to figure out how to cook a little Thai. As far as English, she has had 10 years. Judging by her letter, she does pretty well. As far as religion, she is a Buddhist, but on the application she checked that she went to services once a month. But no, I would not have major objections. We do want to learn of the culture and obviously that is a large part of the culture.
