8 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanvillc, September 24,1986 Exchange Students Relates Experiences to Rotary Members Rotary member Merrill Brown (left) and president exchange student who went to Spain last year. She Bill Hall welcomed Mr. Brown's daughter, Merrilee, told the group it was a little different than what she to their meeting last week. Ms. Brown was a Rotary had expected. Spanish people don't like to join clubs. Ms. Brown said the club in San Sebastian is only a few years old. She told the club she was happy with the friends and experiences encountered during the trip and that she was particularly happy about the choir she joined in Spain. "It was one of the best things I did," she said. That choir is a little different different than some ofthe ones in Canada. It sang songs in 11 different languages and would socialize in the local bars when the rehearsals were over. Ms. Brown also met with Rotary members from Oshawa and other areas during her trip. Some of those friends were seen in a slide show which ranged from pictures of a gothic cathedral to a picture of her host family's dog. And Ms. Brown told the club she gained a new appreciation appreciation for this area while she was away. "I learned to appreciate my little home town of Bow- manville. My family. .<And what a great!Rotary; club Bowmanvillc has." >ktxa NEVADA BOB'S Celebrates the of iheNewWHITBY STORE! by Rob Savage The magic of Spain conjures conjures up different images for different people. But one young Bowman- ville student found Spain to be much different than what she expected. Merriiee Brown, 18, went to San Sebastian last year as a Rotary exchange student. student. She left expecting sights similar to what one might read in a Hemingway novel, including bull fights, flamenco dances, and romantic Don Juans. . Once in Spain, it seemed none of these expectations was quite right. There were no bull fights, although there were some Mowing your lawn is a lot cheaper than joining a health club. \~P3Rnc/P3cr/an raz/zMt terrorist threats. There were also no flamenco dances, so she learned some national dances instead. And in the absence of any Don Juans, she settled for a few cute amigos. "It differed greatly from what I had expected," she told the Bowmanville Rotary Rotary Club last week. Most different of all was the treatment she got as an exchange student. Ms. Brown learned that Spain gets exchange students all the time and discovered she wasn't as unique as she thought she would be. She also learned that the Spanish people didn't quite understand the nature of the Rotary exchange program. program. Instead of exchanging cultural ideas with the people in Spain, her hosts expected her to spend most of her time studying. They enrolled her in an expensive, private, Jesuit school where she was the only Protestant. She told the Rotary Club that it was at the school she felt most unique. And while she hadn't expected expected siich a strong con centration on education during the trip, she didn't regret the schooling. "It was the most positive educational experience that I've ever had," she said. "I learned more in that one year than I've ever learned in my life." She said the unfortunate part was that she didn't get to represent Canadian Rotary Rotary clubs very well. The San Sebastian Rotary Club only invited her to two meetings during her 11 month stay from September of 1985 to last July. However, she did tour northern Spain and was invited invited to other Rotary clubs while she travelled. And she reminded the members here in Bowmanville Bowmanville that the Spanish Rotary Rotary clubs haven't grown at the same rate as the North American ones. She said most of the Spanish Rotary Clubs had to stay underground during General Francisco Franco's rule. It was only after Franco's death in 1976 that they became publicly visible.
