I will try to use AirBnb this year I never use it but I want to try. But I have a plan on August for traveling to Japan when I was use ABNR I found an interesting thing – actually we don’t need to meet the host, but some hosts they want to meet the customer – they will write their rules on the app, the customer should meet them on the first day you arrive, and I have a friend live in Japan, she lives in a guest house, so I try to use AirBnb because I saw her daily life was very interesting – but I think it’s similar to the Airbnb but they have a very big house – and maybe 20 people will share the living room.

I think girl is easy than boys because most girls are well-behaved than boys.But I think if you have a girl you should always worried about her. When even if she is 18 years old, but if you have a boy maybe a boy is 12 years you needn’t worry about him. And if you have a boy you should maybe buy a house for him. I know many girls they can buy a house with their boyfriend – a girl and a boy they both pay the money.

I think girls are easier than boys because most girls are better behaved / more well behaved than boys. But I think if you have a girl you will always be worried about her. Even if she is 18 years old, but if you have a boy and maybe he is 12 years you don’t have to / don’t need to worry about him. And if you have a boy you probably have to buy a house for him. I know many girls that can buy a house with their boyfriend / that choose to buy a house with their boyfriend  – they both pay together.
