Mostly good! I have hosted four people now - this guy, who is cycling from Nordkapp to Cape Town; an Austrian guy who turned up with an English friend he'd made en route, and right now a half-Austrian half-Norwegian violinist who has WALKED from Austria to here en route to Ethiopia. (It's a kind of pilgrimage - he's a fairly recent convert to Christianity.) Current guy is more of a friend of a friend rather than an official couchsurfer, and I admit that I am getting kind of angsty that he MIGHT NEVER LEAVE. He showed up last Saturday, initially to stay two nights, then on Sunday he asked if he could stay until tomorrow, as he had to get his camera fixed and sort his Ethiopian visa, and as of today he still doesn't have his visa and his camera is not fixed and now he is ill and I am thinking ARGH HOW LONG ARE YOU STAYING? He is perfectly nice and of course being ill is not his fault and I am evil, but my job is stressful and I work long hours and really a week plus is too long and I NEED MY SPACE. If he were well I'd probably be saying "um, dude, can you maybe move on soon?" but obviously under the circumstances that is impossible.

Ha, sorry for small rant. Mostly it is good! I am going to change my CS profile so that it says four nights maximum, though that wouldn't make a difference in this case because he's not on CS. Aside from that, my main worry is that my neighbours keep seeing these sweaty bearded blokes going in and out of my apartment (seriously, three out of the four of them have been practically interchangeable in appearance) and I wonder if they think I have some weird fetish.
