what a wwoof experience! (1/3/08)

Just read an article about a friend's wwoof experience & I can't stop laughing on her poor experience. Her experience reminds me of a similar experience I had yesterday when I finally decided to pay the wwoof host a visit (instead of waiting for them to pick up the call, or to reply my email). He is a Philipino guy, who obviously is a gay. He opened the door with his body partly naked. He breathe so hard like he was having a flu (look more like he is addicted to drug ^^). The 1st impression was weird. And when I asked him what jobs I have to do, & whether I have the chance to learn photography & try stainless glass making, as mentioned on the Wwoof booklet, he said he doesn't really do these. And what I have to do are very simple jobs, eg; watering the plants, taking care of the garden....And I asked him whether there is any minimum stay, as I only plan to stay for 3 days. He said that's good enough. One week to him is too long, too long that both parties will hate each other. Haha, I couldn't stop laughing hearing this. Well, of course, I definitely won't be his wwoof guest. But this experience (& also my friend's experience) do demotivate me on the whole wwoof thing.
