Socialising

We baiters come from all countries, all societies, all ethnic origins and all religions.

In conversation with another lady from across the pond a concept was born. Would it be possible to have 'baiter meets' where we could show each other the delights of our own countries, and gain new friends and new insights into other cultures.

We each live in a small world, could we show that world to another and enjoy the exchangev of ideas and experiences?

I once had SOOI over for lunch, I've had an active restraining order against him ever since.

It's awkward.

Nice to see you, Devil_woman. Very Happy

Could you clarify this part of your post:

Would this concept entail travel? I don't safari...

^^It depends. Do you want them to Safari to you or vice-versa? Wink

N.O.R.A: I think she is trying to say: "We could learn about different cultures from meeting baiters in different countries (and the same country as well)."

you should all join me in my journey trough the doors of perception, then everything will appear to you as it is... infinite

Sounds like a delightful idea. And if the gentlemn are disinclined to travel, perhaps it could be women baiters only Wink

I think Maine culture would scare most of the people on this board.

^^I love Maine. Esp Belfast Bay.

Packing bags. Where is the first meeting?

Y-y-y-ou mean actually meeting people? Like in person? Like face to face???

I'd have to leave my basement and my tinfoil. It would be traumatic.

Oh sweet, dw, would love to come over and meet you but it seems asome nasty bandits broke into my house and took everything, even my little monies I have saved up to come see you. I will need you to send monies for visa and travel agency fees. Western Union works best.

xxxooo

What did you expect? Opening the door, wearing a basque, stockings and suspenders and holding a cucumber?

Excellent salad btw. Could have done with a bit more balsamic vinegar though.

I've actually been considering actively stalking Dr Mike...

...but then I'd have to go to Sweden and put up with what passes for beer there. Maybe if he moves to Germany.

Hey, I'm not really against meeting... I have to travel to visit Dane to get some akvavit anyway Very Happy

Posted: Mon Jun 27, 2011 9:39 am

You don't wanna go to Sweden. Beer tastes like piss and bork, bork bork, it is full of Swedes. The only reason to go here would be if you are in fact fleeing from something worse...

I remembered that i have already shared the above link on this forum. So i will also give you a testament from a Swede working in a foreign country.

I have gone to several baiter meetings, but almost every time it turns out to be just me, myself and I, in front of a webcam. The only exceptions are those dadburned safari camps - they seem really nice but nobody knows exactly how to find them. Don't know how many times I've contracted malaria and been chased by irate taxi drivers.

So no thanks from here!

Make sure you are not tricked by the others, into meeting in a pub that has a tattoo parlour next door.

Fool me once shame on me. Fool me three times....

But you look so good with the gomer logo on your forehead. It really suits you.

How about a baiter's convention in Las Vegas? With workshops. And an awards show and TV cameras.
