Hospitality Club

A couple of weeks ago, I came across a website called ‘Hospitality Club’ (http://www.hospitalityclub.org/). It’s a community of people from around the world who are open to international exchange, meeting people from around the world by hosting them when they visit your country, and being hosted when visiting other countries. I thought it was a neat idea, so I registered.

A few days later, I got an email from an Australian girl, Alicia, who was on an 8-months around-the-world trip, and who was planning to come to Nagasaki later on that week. Today, we met up at the Isahaya train station. She was a really friendly and outgoing girl! Turned out we had a lot in common, both having a love for traveling and meeting new people. From the train station, we went down to Nagasaki where we took in some of the tourist sites and had dinner at what has become one of my favorite kaitenzushi places in Hamanomachi.

Here we are at Suwa Shrine.
