Yes we do.

American here, never gotten shit for being American. I attribute this largely to the fact that I don't walk around with a chip on my shoulder or get defensive when people make a jab at the States.

Really? I get it from people all the time. I don't even care about people being critical of the states because we're nearly a shit-tier country at this point, but people give me shit on the basis of being American.

Bump.

Ask your question here. A lot of Filipino posters. This board is pretty down on the Philippines. Even the Filipino that post here

Where are you going?

As a rule, no-one is going to hassle you other than idiot guys 'flirting' with you. You're probably used to that though. So yeah, unless you're going to a really bad area you'll be fine. Just use your common sense, you're probably more at risk of thieves than rapists etc.

And the obvious stuff: Don't get black-out drunk, keep an eye on your drinks, and most of all have a good time!

>>934452
Germany (Hamburg and Berlin probably).

I tend to be unable to control my alcohol consumption so I might as well not drink at all I think.

Is it common for guys to put things in girls' drinks ? I thought that only happened in fiction.

Are there usually a lot of girls in mixes dorms ?

I'll be studying in Japan for 2 years, starting this year, but i'm poor as fuck.
Any way I can get money as a student fast? I'm thinking of renting a place close to the uni for 28000 yen a month, but between that and the school fee and eating i think it's too much.

Plus, I want internet, so what's a good way to get that?
I'm fluent in japanese, so that's not a problem.

I'll be living in Nagaoka-shi, Niigata-ken, so mostly my transportation would be bike and...

More Elbrus then.

1200 airfare round trip
300 hotel
300 food and drink
600 sex tourism
600 actual tourism

There's a rough outline with high estimates on costs. I could fund that trip in 2 months. What am I missing?

I've been using CS for over five years. Absolutely amazing. I've been able to stay in places I'd never have afforded otherwise. I've met wonderful people that I've learned from and that have given me a much better experience in places than if I was on my own.

As for guys wanting sex, I guess there's no point denying it happens, but it is VERY rare. You can easily avoid it by only staying with people that have plenty of positive references. It's quite easy to get a rough idea of a person by reading what they have written about themselves...

Were you couchsurfing alone ? Doyou prefer staying with guys, girls or couples?

>>925820
I have couchsurfed alone and with my boyfriend (I'm a guy). I've/we've stayed with straight and gay couples, as well as single men and women.

I prefer staying with people closer to my personality - the gender/sexuality makes no difference. I think most people on CS feel the same way. You want to make sure you get on with who you'll be staying with / hosting.

I got my diving certificate while I was over there for $350. I can now dive down to 18 meters underwater anywhere in the world

Hookers, booze and food are all incredibly cheap. If you're in the market for some new threads, buy them over there. You can get a fresh as fuck tailored suit for about $300

Hi anon,

I depart at the end of december for a hagwon in Seoul. I chose hagwon over public cause I don't want a korean co-teacher in my class every minute; fucking with my style. Basically people in public will always say public is better than private - when most of them have never worked for a hagwon. I've got some teaching expereince under my belt and I really want to have control over my class/lesson plans. Do you know where you will be living?

Gig really depends on place, but I'd say private academy (hagwon) is better than public school since smaller classes and it's your own show. The amount work work really depends on the place. Good way to save money anyway.

Hey thanks for the comment. The constant co-teacher was something I was against as well.

My location is in the Uichang-gu district of Changwon City.

I was thinking the same thing regarding the class sizes for sure, 8-12 kids seems to be much easier to manage and have less stress.

I've been volunteering at a first grade class with 30 students and they're all so hyper active and rowdy so I'm hoping to get the nerves out of the...

I'm in the same situation. Travel does help but obviously it's not perpetual. This is why I have a plan on seeing everything I want to see in life in the next 7 years and then an heroing. Normal everyday life has not been good to me and I don't want to just spend the rest of my days working in some office where every day I just live for the weekend only to spend my weekends counting down the hours till it ends.

Sorry that I cannot help you. Travel doesn't solve your problems, it just removes you from them for a period of time. If you want help go see...

Thanks anyway.

It's just so hard to fit in sometimes.
I try real hard, but people are just fucking strange, I try copying other people's personalities to fit in, but that doesn't work, I try just being myself and that doesn't work.
I really don't know what to do, so travel does help in that sense it's just knowing i'll never really fit in sucks.
I don't think I could actually ever OFF myself, but like you said, the thought of working for the weekend is just horrifying.

>>926500
What do you have to do while you're there? Drugs, and see some cool sights.

OP again,

Forgot one thing: anyone know a good program/resource/book/cd/etc. to learn basic Thai? I've got a few months at least and I'd like to not come off as a complete asshole.

Straight edge brah.
>Cool sights"
Such as?

I never understood this whole "American Accent" thing. I live in and grew up in Massachusetts, and I'll give you an example of my "Accent":

"Hello, my name is anon. I park my car in harvard yard."

Read that aloud, and that's exactly what I sound like. I speak what I read. How can that be accented?

That's an example of the clean American accent, I'm from Cleveland and here it's split between clean and midwest accent.

>>926049
Sorry, I don't really understand what you're saying.

There are many different ways to pronounce your quote. These variations are often grouped by region or social class, which is what people are referring to when they talk about "accents".

Or are you shitposting again?
