I have a hard time believing that everybody in the past ate meat. Meat is expensive. Plus saying you have a degree doesn't mean anything unless you know how to apply your knowledge.

Lived the crash of couch surfing one, and I'm completely addicted to it. Completely changed my life and vision of the world (that was already pretty open minded). I made (a lot of ) friends for life and on 500-700 (lost the count) people I've received, I never had a 'bad' experience, and I still trust the system blindly.Made even my parents suscribe and they also receive complete strangers at their place and they simply love it.  I’m in couch surfing since a long time now.

Anyway, the perspective in the article is broad, giving me a chance to relate to these folks in spite of leading a different lifestyle.

It's a book that compiles pieces of paper and pictures found all over the world (mostly the U.S.). It is very much in a similar vein and very much worth checking out along with the first of the series, simply entitled "Found".

I've let people I've met through the net crash on my couch when they traveled to San Francisco. For me, it was nice to know that I'm not the only crazy person. I do think most people mean well. Plus, my thought process was they could very well be crazy, but I could also be a mad axe murderer with a freezer in my basement.<br><br /> <br><br /> In fact, I <a href="http://expatjane.blogspot.com/2006/12/technology-communication-and-feeling.html" target="_blank">blogged</a> about it. Keep publishing good articles. I'm glad I subscribed! It was great to read this article.
