COUNTRY: USA / Kentucky
TOWN: Lexington
NAME: Chandramohan
SEX/AGE: Male/21
ACCOMMODATION: Currently staying in a 4-bedroom apartment but
chances are,I will be moving into an efficiency
(connected bedroom and living room) to reduce my
living cost here in America. But, despite of this
my guest(s) could expect reasonable comfort in
bunking with me...and not to mention,a jolly good
time too.
LOCATION: Well, because I am a student, I live very close to the
school. Quite a number of clubs and other recreational
spots are located around the University of Kentucky
campus. Lexington itself is not too far from much larger
metropolitan cities. One city that deserves mention is
Cincinnati, a mere 1 hour-drive away.
MAX GUESTS: Any number of guests would be fine as long as
they realize that comfortability would have to
be compromised.
MAX LENGTH: It depends entirely on my guest(s).If they stay for 2
weeks or less, they don't have to share the rent.But
should they decide to stay longer than 2 weeks than the
rent would have to be shared reasonably.
EXPENSES: Basic necessities like food,some travelling expenses and other
things depending entirely on our plans and circumstances.All
this shouldn't exceed $20-$30 a day.( As I said earlier,if
my guest(s) should stay longer than 2 weeks than it would kind
of them to share the rent also). All in all, the cost will not
exceed the shoe-string traveller's budget (trust me!!)
LANGUAGES: Tamil (mother-tongue), English (obviously!!),
Malaysian and Indonesian. I am very fluent in these 4
languages. I can also speak a tad-bit of French and
understand Cantonese (a Chinese dialect) to some extent.
EXPECTATIONS: Cleanliness is important and much appreciated.
Other than this sole expectation, common sense
would prevail in dealing with situations on a
case by case basis.
THE HOST: Well, don't worry...I'll resist the temptation to pen down
my autobiography. For starters, I am a man of Indian origin
born and raised in a small teeny-weeny little country
called Malaysia. Now I am in America to join million others
in the paper chase. I am doing my Bachelors in Biotechnology
in the University of Kentucky. I lived a year in Boston,
before coming here and I must say it's a great town.
I have travelled extensively throughout Northeast America
and a few places in the west and south. Being exposed to so
many different cultures,languages and people, I really do have
a good sense of geography.
What else?...Ahh!!Yes...My hobbies.
HOBBIES: Well, I like to travel
a lot...you can say travelling is my passion. I love to sit
down and discuss about other cultures, politics, religions
and what not. I love to take a stroll in the woods. My musical
interest ranges from Bach to ZZ-Top, although my most favourite
form of music is Jazz. I also like to party once in while.
(What else, huh? Hmmmm....). I can't seem to think of any now
but of course you can always forward me your precious
'Freudian' questions if you want to get to know me better.
