I think the biggest challenge would be that the education system although based on the U.S. system often times has the goal of completiting a whole text book in a year. This is not the case often times in U.S. classrooms where chapters are skipped or the whole book is not completed. So as an Algebra 2 teacher I had to go over concepts from Algebra 1 and Geometry again so they could better understand the concepts in Algebra 2 as well as do well on the high school exit exam which determines what type of college they get into (state or national).
Because it is so warm there a rain coat is often not helpful because you get just as wet from sweating as you would from the rain. Bring a snorkel as I still have never seen as good of coral reefs as I did in Micronesia.
