Andreea
"I didn’t have a lot of expectations. I knew that we were supposed to go to French classes and get all the papers and after that maybe go back to school. I was prepared to wait and though it is difficult to be patient that is what I was prepared to do. "

Farshad
"I saw people listening to music on iPods, others checking something on laptops and another person reading something. Sometimes they spoke, but [often] they were very, very drowned in their own world. They were there but I was amazed that there was really no communication going on. So it was very different from what I had experienced before."
