Would you like to spend a week in the Mandarin Oriental ?

Not really, i kind of dislike high end places like this one. I find that renting a room from a family and staying there while having contact with people that see you as an equal is much more rewarding as you get more interaction with "real". I like to see how people live in places that i visit. I'd love to try and have a job in a foreign country. It'd be a wonderful way to meet and get to know new people. I don't mind seeing many of the various imperfections that countries have to offer. Closing yourself in a really expensive bubble isn't a good way to explore the world, unless you're just a snob and don't care.
