I am crazy silly siked today. I just found out that all of our friends from London are coming to the US to visit us. I had the pleasure of meeting most of the people coming on my London/Paris trip last year. We were also able to move the yearly anniversary party to this day so this means Philly Mike and others can visit them all at one time. One of the sweetest things to me about this site is the ability to meet people in fare off countries and have them show you around and then when they visit you, you get the pleasure of showing them around. its like spreading the love around all over the country. Being able to do good deeds for people and showing them your culture and communities. So lets look at how closed we really all do live together.
MEETin Spreading good deeds
Here is one example I love. One friend of ours Huy from MEETinBoise ( well he is a friend now since we met him in London ) was flying to Paris for the convention. He was in a bike accident before he left from Boise. I guess in flight to Paris his leg started to act up. he had to go to the hospital when he landed. Some of the MEETinParis people , people he never met in his life came to the hospital only after Huys girl friend post on the message he was stuck in the hospital. The hanged out with him in the hospital. How cool is that you go to a city and country to never met anyone and people come and visit you. When we arrived from DC my friend Charann had her credit card stopped. Our new friend ( Xavier ) from Paris not only brought us to his home to call for free America he also brought us to an awesome French restaurant in his area that was sooo good. When Xavier visited DC I repaid the favor by taking him to a personal tour of George Washington's house a very hard to find tourist attraction to find if you are visiting from out of town with out a car. Also when we went to Portland a few months ago Huy who since moved to MEETinSeattle now drove us to see some awesome nature sites in Portland. my point being is we are a very small world. This shows just how connected we really are. The borders are slowly going away and Good deeds always come back to you :-)
So if you ever travel be sure to stop by your local MEETin you never know what awesome new friends you may meet.
