<font color="white" size="5"><P>My name is Alex Langley, and I was a Rotary International Exchange Student from July 1999 to July 2000. I was sponsored by the Rotary Club of Vancouver (Canada) in District 5040. I lived in a city on the eastern coast of Thailand called Chanthaburi (between Rayong and Trad on the map to the left). I am dedicating this site to my life, family, teachers, school and friends in Thailand in the hopes that this will one day be used as a resource or aide to future, current and returned exchange students.<BR>Right now it is under construction, but you are able to click on the links to the left and read some summaries of major events, parts of my actual journal, as well as view some photos from my school and from the tours organized for the exchange students of my host district. There will also be a brief discription at the top of each section.</P><BR><P><h2>*Exchange Students*</h2> If you have any photographs from the tours or just general photos of Thailand that you'd be able to send to me (online or mail), it would be greatly appreciated, and then I can add them to this site.</P></font></center><BR><BR><center><img src="http://www.rotaryyouthexchange.org/draaiwiel.gif"></center><BR><BR></td></tr></tbody></table> --><BR><BR><BR><BR>
