Poetry of Couchsurfing
// April 10th, 2009 // Japan, Reiserei, Sprache, kulturelle Kuriositaten
The basic concept of couchsurfing is to crash on other people’s couches or to let people crash on yours - for free. The nice idea behind this is to get to know and meet locals. Great idea - seeing as we had the most memorable memories when meeting interesting people, I created an account and had to realize that the plan didn’t work too well for Japan 
.
As the Japanese are quite insular, some local knowledge and insight would have been great …
Anyhow, as we are heading to Osaka and Kyoto next, I had a look at couchsurfing and one of the profiles had an almost poetic touch to it:
His couch information:
I cannot speak English well.
guesthouse is in a place a little away from my house.
It is an old house in Japan.
Please sleep with the futon of Japan.
There are bride and three children.
The cigarette is not smoked.
There is a bus stop ahead of the guesthouse.
There is bedding of Japan (futon) for six.
His Philosophy:
Do not trouble the person.
Just brilliant 
.
No luck couchsurfingwise in Kyoto either …
