-Who I am
You can Call me Rakibul or sadik. Both are ok! I am from Bangladesh, now living in japan.

I live in Tokyo now
and lived in other parts of Japan but always up for learning and seeing more

Note ,
I may be part ethnically Japanese but please do not be a stereotypical jerk/jerkette and start konnichiwa- ing me, ofcourse you are more than free to do or say or think whatever you d like but i will also have the option to listen or not or to call you a bigot depending on what is being said.

also despite being anatomically male , I honestly don't care
if you, Are a guy, gal ,, lgtbqi,
, old , young , a group of people or just one person ,
from where ever on earth ,outer space.or a block away
if we both have a matching or similar itinerary i will take some effort to meet and greet you.

---- my take on cs in jpn
I will more or less treat everyone as equals . ( Although, I've sadly experienced, Not all will do so on this site- As some want only to talk to women /men / or travelers from certain countries . I was tempted to write negative reviews on them and such users but I know there will just be bad blood in the community and the admin will do nothing but to advise minimal contact but I hope the same will not happen to you.

I am slightly disappointed at some newer local couchsurfers who I just can't really get a read on , or understand. I think because partly they seem very racist, flakey., and a bit particular. I ponder sometimes if negative reviews are warranted but I know it may not affect anything

-- my motto
I will also make my best effort to find or meet you if we agree to do so , as words are bonds . I know some people here are traveling freely on your own accord and that's fine and all , but I feel it's important to be mindful if your actions and promises and meetings may affect others,locals /travelers or etc and their time and plans .

That being said,
I try to be flexible and don't hate meeting people and just hearing their stories and up for learning new things..
The older I get the more I feel I dont know anything (Jon Snow)...ugh very upsetting finale. Hahahah

My japanese isnt perfect but im ok I think And im in couch surfing because a long time ago , I Was much more optimistic and happy and Thought I could still be of some help to people
( Part of that me is probably still inside )

-- general rules
Feel free to message or reach out .
I Hardly ever ignore a message, and I usually reply promptly without prejudice . I don't really like copy paste messages and if there seems to be no specific question asked or favor required directly asked toward me I may ask why you chose to message me if we hadn't met out or know a mutual friend ; wouldn't you do the same ?

However please
Understand the following

) Im quite blunt, honest , transparent and straight to the point , there are plenty of other people and I'll be hospitable and respectful as I can but if you cant take things honestly , feel free to befriend someone else . I will not be offended and I hope I didn't offend you by saying so.

1) I'm probably not going to make the best teacher to you , but I'll try and teach ya what I know. ..

. I'm just probably " here to see the world burn "And make interesting movie quotes or introspections from time to time

2) Im up for pointing out things ,talking or grabbing a beer or two with people as long we are both sorta headed the same way.

This means : why would I hitch hike to Alaska if I'm trying to get to Brazil, ya know ?

But then again. Im abit flexible on that stuff As well ..

I will certainly try my best so that you can enjoy yourself in a completely different world and if this old dog can teach you any old tricks,I can try but see rule 1..I don't make the best teacher. Lol
.

3) im probably the guy you call if humble and your lost, homesick or need a buddy when you feel Tokyo or Japan isn't what what you thought it was or think that it was but everyone else is telling you to get a reality check

4) I may be sarcastic , cynical, and sardonic to a fault,.
.. though hey,who doesn't love a little comedy lol

and lastly 5)
if we meet , talk and we seem to get along, expect a reference. even if you may not write one back(though itd be nice to have an honest opinion from a different human being) it's just common courtesy in my opinion
