| 24th July 2007 Malonzo | American Malonzo - From: Sleepless in Sofia Even though I couldn't be travelling in Bulgaria at the moment, I'm glad my name and Canadian twin are there! For the record, I'm taller than he is and believe I would win an exchange of fisticuffs easily. |
| 21st July 2007 nuno | nice trip - From: The Asian Mediterranean Vegas I´ve lived in Macau until 97, it´s completly different from those days. I miss pretty much the lunches in hospital S.Januário cafeteria, the smell of food and insense in the streets, the permenant noise in the streets, the races in november i´ll be back one of these days. Congratykations for your excelent report |
| 20th July 2007 Steph Winchester | Thanks for the great blog - From: Sleepless in Sofia Alex, it has been great to read about your travels. I keep meaning to comment and tell you that your stories are great. I am so jealous. Living vicariously through you, Steph |
| 19th July 2007 Cousin Sylvia | - From: Getting some American Football practice Alex, I am so in awe of your adventures and your marvelous ability to put it all in print. Thinking of you with love. |
| 15th July 2007 ADog | Hmmm... - From: Let me get closer! Oh yeah, they were amazing. They're not listed as one of the world's wonders (yet) because they were only discovered accidentally in the 70's. I think that Pit 3 may have been the one that was ransacked by the peasant revolt right after the first emperors death. In any case, when the soldiers get unearthed, they're not usually in great shape because the original roof was made of wood, which has since rotted in the past 2200 years, and they're basically buried in the dirt which has flooded in with the absence of a roof. The dirt actually works to preserve them, but the cave-ins have broken the soldiers. |
| 14th July 2007 Jen | - From: Let me get closer! This is amazing... I had never even heard of the Terra Cotta soldiers before. I'm going to go read some more about it on Wikipedia right now. How come some of them in pit 3 are without heads? |

| 4th July 2007 Leigha | we talked about you today - From: Skyscrapers and mountains in the mist you will be happy to note that today you and your prostitute ridden travel blog were a subject of conversation at our Casseopiea (sp?) table. I don't want to say that there was weeping and gnashing of teeth, but there was a chuckle or two about the escalator. |

| 1st July 2007 alan weinstein | Hong Kong - From: Skyscrapers and mountains in the mist Enjoyed your pictures and commentary. Glad I finally caught up with you.

| 1st June 2007 Leigha | but, are their airplanes on the carpet? - From: Angkor Whoa! The Dayton airport sucks, we all know this. But it does have that great airplane carpet. I am sort of creeped out by the comment about still feeling the full body massage. My friend Todd once got a full body massage from a place on the side of the highway near Louisville, KY... but that is a story for another time. keep the posts coming! |

| 28th May 2007 Jen | Debauchery, please! - From: The extremes in Phnom Penh I've got to support everyone asking for wild & crazy times. Less torture & bones, more debauchery & adventure. No, seriously, sounds absolutely fascinating - what a wonderful experience you're having. I'm writing from a cafe in Nederland - hope we'll see each other here in August! |
