Couch Surfing

I recently joined this community called CouchSurfing. I was introduced to this by a friend of mine from Australia when he was visiting me for a week or so in Malaysia. So not knowing anything i joined the website and decided to browse around.

To my surprise there was a big community of Malaysians also into this. Some of them call it their "secret society". It was really cool as i went to gatherings and meet up with travellers to show them around, share our stories and became friends. It was different as when i met up with everyone for the first time, there was no discrimination, no one cared if you were dressed well or had money or just relaxing. And you meet people of same interest :) Which was really cool
Here are some pictures i have from meeting everyone :) and more to come :) Just temporary my camera died on me and i am yet to collect money for a new one

The man who introduced me to CouchSurfing. Andrew :)

Very nice photos you have :)
But sometimes I feel CS has becoming more like Friendster/MySpace/Facebook - not as genuine as it was before.

But anyways. Good luck with your CS experiences! :)
