Internet while abroad - an odd reciprocal idea I'm floating
« on: October 10, 2007, 05:22:07 AM »
Hi.

As we're all netheads and love the web I have an idea.

Next year I'm thinking of visiting Europe.  I know that some of you are based there so here's my idea.

I take my laptop with me and, if I'm in the area, I come to visit you.  I could spend maybe a day with you, use your PC (or wireless if you have one) to upload photos and update you lot on my travels, we chat, I take you out for a meal/buy you a six-pack of beer/or other small favour.  We could set up a small network of places we can go to if we're in the area - so, say, if someone from Sweden's visiting northern England they could drop in and have a chat with me.

What about it?  In truth I'm thinking about how the hell I'm going to get decent Internet to upload stuff while I'm abroad... :D

Will you be giving sexual favours?

To some buxom young European lass?  Possibly.

OK, smartarse.  Continental Europe - OK?  ;)

Cyber Cafe not enough?

Not for the amount of uploading I need to do (I'm a photographer and need to upload hires stuff to Flickr).  And it would be nice to meet some local Aspies - all part of the fun of visiting a foreign country, to see how they live.

Hmm, I dont think there are many aspies on intensity that live in mainland europe, probably because of the language barriers. Id hate to say this, but you would have a lot better chance asking on WP if you wanted to meet contenental aspies.

I was thinking that myself Hardon.

I'll do that closer to the time, I think.  It's just a way of meeting people that I can identify with in some way.  And we'll probably have the Internet thing in common too.

That's not entirely out of the question, actually.  British Columbia is one of the places I want to visit.

Hmm I sense bad intentions.   Does SG wish to hurt me?   Maybe its just the  >:D
Portland might be ok, that and Seattle.  I actually know someone who lives in Seattle from the net.
