Many outings planned
Anahuac family hosts Finnish boy
By MISSY JOHNSTON
ANAHUAC — Kari Tuusvuori,
a foreign exchange student from
Lappeenranta, Finland, came to
the United States to improve his
English.
He read about the American
InterCultural Student Exchange
in a newspaper and decided to
find out about the program.
Kari, 17, is staying at the
Anahuac home of Mr. and Mrs.
Terry Wood, Lin and Stephanie,
for one year:
“Mrs. Wood explains. “We
had a friend who was a foreign
exchange student and he told us
about the program. We had to go
through ‘ some interviews and
have letters of recommenda-
tion."
Tuusvuori is attending
Anahuac High School, where he
is taking computer science, typ-
ing, American history,
American- government,
literature and physical educa-
tion.
“Kari is a sprinter and he
would like to participate in track
this year,” says Wood.
- Because students in Finland
are required to take a foreign
language, Kari has had eight
years of English. “They offer
German at my school, but I need
English more. English is spoken
everywhere,” he says.
Since arriving in Anahuac
several weeks ago, Kari has
visited San Jacinto Mall, en-
joyed water skiing and watched
a ballgame.
“He doesn’t like hamburgers
or nachos, but he really likes
steak and ice cream,” says Mrs.
Wood. “The food is very dif-
ferent,” Kari says.
For entertainment, Kari ex-
plains that he and his friends go
to the city by bike (because they
can’t drive until they are 18) and i
walk downtown to meet people
and hang out. “The kids are not
much different, just the way
they talk,” he says. ^
“Kari is a fast learner and he
has started to pick up a lot of
words we use around the house,”
Mrs. Wood says. “He hesitates
before he speaks because he
wants to make sure he doesn’t
offend anyone,” she says.
One thing he misses from
Finland is the sauna at his home.
“Most people have saunas,”
says Kari. “I miss all of Finland,
everything,” he says.
Mrs. Wood says adapting to
the heat and time change have
been hard for him, but he is lear-
ning fast.
The Woods’ have numerous
outings planned for Kari. “We
would like to take him* to the
Alabama-Coushatta Indian
reservation, AstroWorld, San
Antonio, Houston zoo and
museum and the Astrodome.”
Lin, the Woods’ son, wants to
take Kari to a nightclub for
teenagers.
Mrs. Woods feels that her
family is lucky to host Kari in
their home. “We hope our family
can have a lasting friendship
with Kari and his family and
maybe we can bring the world
closer together by getting to
know each other,” she says.
“Families are alike all over
the world, and this.wUl be a good
experience for our children,”
she says.
