After a few hours of yet another train ride I arrived at the
Kyoto station and headed to towards the local station where I would meet my
next host.
As most of you know I only had great experience of people I
met from Couchsurfing so far, so the time came that for the first time I felt
really, and I mean really uncomfortable around my host. I don’t want to go too
much into detail, because overall it wasn’t really that bad, but it certainly
made my stay less enjoyable in Kyoto.
He lives around 35 minutes from the Kyoto station (Otsu) and is
living with his parents. Those things usually I wouldn’t mind, they are part of
couchsurfing, but he himself just didn’t have any manners, didn’t know a thing
about how to behave and was rude to his parents. He didn’t understand that I
don’t like constant handshakes and hugs and at one point his behaviour
disgusted me. I certainly made clear
that I want distance. I met other people and we didn’t bond, but that was
mostly on activities event, not when I stayed with them.
After I have been showed the room I will sleep in I got bed
ready.
