Couch Surfing?

This weekend I learned about a very interesting website, called `couch surfing.` This website allows travelers, to meet with people in foreign countries and stay on their couch, for a short time, while they are traveling.

On Monday, our friends told us about this website and that they would be having a man from Australia stay at their house, for two or three days. That night, we went to a traditional Japanese restaurant in Odaiba, with our friends and the Australian man. He was on his way to visit America, but decided to stay in Japan for three days, for sightseeing. Everyone had a great time!

It sounds like a very nice good idea, but I’m not sure that I would ever try it. I think it would be very convenient, if I was to ever to visit another country for only a few days.
