I second the request for an Int'l section! Thanks.

It's coming....

Here's a question...

Suppose we created a broad "International" category which included a discussion forum and a review forum......how would we set up the review forms? Would they be exactly like the current review form, or would they differ slightly? Looking for some suggestions.

Thx,

I don't normally travel internationally. However, my suggestion is that the International Forum have subsets by continent (except for Antarctica). It seems to me to be a logical geographic division. I also think that there might be a part of the review form to describe unusual customs/practices common to the area and procedures in setting up the date that might be different than the US. Also, a section that describes general and specific services that might be available where they would not be available in the US.

This might be a too obvious suggestion but if it's going to be general "international" section then an area about certain language barriers or what language(s) were spoken by the escort and/or the agency which the client dealt with would be informative.

My sense is that you would set them up the same way, with one possible exception that I did not think of, which is what Elisabeth mentions below about language.

Almost all sites outside the U.S, have a field for primary language or language/fluency (or since ECCIE is a U.S.-based site you can just click a box to indicate English fluency). This is incredibly helpful in regions of the world where English is one of many common languages (South Africa, Hong Kong) or where it is not the native tongue.

Thanks for asking.

The same format as the the US forums would be fine. The reviews are free form, and the reviewer can comment on aspects of the hobby that may be different locally than they are here. Some geographical subdivisions are essential, so you don't have to wade through European or South American reviews if your destination is Hong Kong. Over the years I reviewed dozens of providers in Venezuela on ASPD, and would love a place to do it here.
