These exchange programs are wonderful way for families to learn culture and humanity..My wife is American, I’d honest to God have to say, she is a different person for the fact her parents although, not being able to afford international travel, realised the importance of meeting new people, cultures, tolerance, by having over 10 international exchange students in their home while my wife was growing up..To be honest had it not been for that exchange adventure her parents took, I would of never met my Gringita.

No, they are not. It’s very common in cities like Sao Paulo, Rio and Brasilia.
