According to statistic, most of the international students do not get the chance to visit American's home. We are lucky! the 2nd week, we can visit 4 American home. Really thanks for IUBISM effort, and Sherwood oak Church staffs: Ed, Elan, Rhonda, Janice, Shiau Jing and everyone!For me, I would say, this is the most precious chance to visit American home. Glad that I signed up this event. We actually visited 4 houses, which is Janice, Rhonda, Ed, and Rhonda! haha... It's such a good experience to know how their home looks like, and also how AMAZING the house is!
