People who are members of the free software community DO have friends in every country! It's only an issue of whether you have friends who are able to provide you with free accommodation. When I was visiting Japan, Shintaro generously offered me free accommodation for a weekend along with acting as a tour guide to Kamakura - even though we had not previously met!

You can find for example, a 1 bedroom flat to rent in Victoria for something like £200 a week which is quite reasonable. Another alternative us to stay with a friend but of course its unlikely somebody will have friends in every country!

When you are at a loss missing last train in Tokyo or Yokohama, you just find net-cafe and pay 1,500 yen and can spend until you get the first train. Dell-Windows machine they provide and Norton is outdated and I virus checked and found 1 virus. I will carry my Knoppix CD next time, I said to my friend in SELinux-pary, but one of them who are doing busybox said that there are no guarantee they may not attach key-logger. I said "Make a law not to and let city check once in a while". In Japan, there are net-cafes where you can read “Manga” (commic) as much as you want and do internet as long as you like.
