It would be awkward if it were two couples. :sweat:

basically 2 couples, my friend and his gf, and another friend who is bringing a girl along.

That's one of the worst case scenario. For a great time, find a girl (easier said than done). You could bring a guy, but that can be awkward when the 2 couples are smooching. You're not really sure where to look and you kind of look like a gay couple. :hehe:

Unless you want to practice nanpa skills, then get a buddy. :mrgreen:

I went to this party once and found out, once there, that I was the only single person. I couldn't leave cause I was in the middle of nowhere, on an deserted island and came with someone else (2 hours drive). The only good part of the evening was when someone had a fight with his girlfriend and she locked herself into a room crying. I had someone else to talk to instead of just grumbling and looking at the fire. :beaten:

It's not overseas travel unfortunately, but travel in some form anyhow :)

Mrs A.D. and I went to the nation's capital, Canberra, over the weekend. Canberra was actually designed from the start to be the capital, and was designed properly, so all the main streets are wide and logically set out, unlike most Australian cities, which all began as settlements and were added to with no thought of the future :) We went to the National Museum (Art gallery), Parliament House, the War Memorial, the local markets and a glass blowing factory/glassworks. And never had to pay a cent admission, as all those things were free (which we didn't know beforehand). The National Gallery is very impressive, with some works of art by artists that even i've heard of - Picasso, Monet, Andy Warhol, etc. There was also a display of Asian art, which was very interesting, including some ancient Indian amd Pakistani carvings :)

Sugoi! Why were all the places free? Is this on a certain day? We have galleries for free like on Wednesday evenings only, or something like that.

Btw, I've noticed lately that you use a lot of " :) " in your posts.

I think they are all free because they are taxpayer-funded (except the glassworks, and the markets. But you can buy stuff there) . And they are free at all times...

I know, I use :) too much. I'm trying not to...

Hi there, can anybody recommend a good website to meet people for travel? :confused:
I want to visit a lot of exciting places such as Mongolia, Bhutan, Argentina, Tansania and so on in the next couple years. :rolly:

But all my former travelmates either have babies, have no money, started to hate long-haul, are ex-boyfriends or moved away. :argh: And travelling alone is NOT for me.

I didnLt find anything cool, so if you guys know any website let me know.
Arigatou ne!

I don't know any, but wouldn't mind finding one or two. I'm in the same boat as you (except for the ex-boyfriends part :hehe:) There's always dating website or stuff like myspace, but it's not ideal. =T

Yeah... with my luck, I'm sure I would end up with one.

Ever been on a trip with someone you thought you knew, but ended up regretting the whole thing? I planned a week off with a few close friends 7 or 8 years ago. We only ate at harvey's, Mickey D's/McDo, Burger King... because a guy was picky and broke. Another one was crying on the phone, because he missed his girlfriend, but wanted to go clubbing every night even tho he didn't drink and we didn't want to go. And there was this guy who was badtripping every other day. :sweat:

:say_yes:

Time to buy some yen and invest in the used panties business. With the aging population, the prices will triple in a few years. :beaten: :hehe:
