**** PLEASE READ MY PROFILE FIRST BEFORE SENDING A CS REQUEST *** I was born and raised in the Philippines but moved to Tokyo 16 years ago so I can share what I know about my two home countries. I work in IT so my schedule can be unpredictable at times . I can only accept CS requests close to the arrival date to avoid having to cancel on anyone at the last minute. I also tend to go out of the country every few months and forget to update my status. I get a lot of CS requests and messages so please do not take offense if I reply late (or not at all, sorry!) to yours. If time permits, I would definitely go and have dinner with my guests or go with them to see the sights. I like answering questions about Tokyo/Japan or the Philippines, it helps to test my knowledge of my locale once in a while, so feel free to ask as many questions as you need. I honestly think I am a good host in general (and BTW, I did not pay those people who gave me glowing references, they are just so nice). If you honestly think you are a good guest then feel free to drop me a message or a couch request. :) For those searching for a couch: Kindly do not send me a message with just the dates you'd be in Tokyo and asking me if I can host you. You are asking someone to welcome a complete stranger into their home. It won't hurt to put a bit of effort in reading my profile and telling me something about yourself and why you are worth the the chance to host. If your CS request/message is all about the accommodation, I will decline your request. You can check my FB and IG pages to get to know me better: https://www.facebook.com/cyril.enrique https://www.instagram.com/iamcyrile/ "Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing."
