hi! i loved and really enjoyed reading your entries. i'm from yemen, well my parents are, and i haven't seen nearly as much as you have!i know you said you were disappointed about not being able to see the insides of mosques, shrines, etc but if you look up "al saleh masjid," you can get a pretty good idea of some beautiful architecture there. i've been inside the mosque and it is stunning but for some reason, the place is FILLED with moths. you won't really find them flying around, but you'll find hundreds of them up against a single stained window. it almost freaked me out because there were just so many in one place! there is another place you probably could have visited, an ancient city called Marib. It was once ruled by the queen of Sheba (present - day yemen) and was the capitol of her kingdom. They've excavated some temples and i think she's also buried around there. maybe you would have been able to see it. and also, i hope you got to visit some of the beaches in a'den. they're a great relief from all the dust and dull rock! happy traveling!

Tack!
Hej! Det var roligt att vara i Paris med alla er. Ni va jätte snälla. Jag gillade allting vi gjorde och önskar att vi fick vara där en gång till. Jag tyckte att det var en bra resa jag fick av er i present. Det var jätte kul där. Det bästa var paraden och karusellerna, men en sak var läskig och det vet ni.......det var den ena karusellen. Det var sött det jag åt för det jag åt var kakor och sånt. Det var jätte jätte jätte roligt att vara med er. Jag sov också bra och det var roligt, jätte roligt. Kram från Julia

We are enjoying following your trip!
Loved the whale photos. We've been on Orca watching trips in the NW United States , Cabo San Lucas, Mexico and Sperm Whales in NZ and we know how tough it is to get their photo. Sneaky....as big as they are they move with grace and speed.

Murmansk
Awesome! I've actually driven there from Oslo. I drove to Bergen, took Hurtigruten to Kirkenes and drove from there. A great journey! As for that "I live in Murmansk" thing - he might have wanted to say that he lives in Murmansk Oblast, not the city of Murmansk itself.

Bikini visit???
Sure you don\'t wanna go to the Bikini atoll? It should be safe for a visit (i.e. not living there permanently & not eating locally produced food). It would be great for diving. No one dares to fish there. And I wouldn\'t probably be there either, but that you will have to check first:)

Not Simrishamn
This is not Simrishamn, this is a house situated at Stortorget in Ystad, next to the old town hall.

You are right and thank you for pointing it out for us. It has been corrected. Ake and Emma

Great entry!
Hi Ake, this blog was fun to read and some of the pictures were fascinating! The ship-breaking in particular looked interesting, never heard of that before. And props to you for respecting the local's wishes not to take pictures of them. Unfortunately, there appear to be many people on this website who don't have the same kind of respect for locals, and just shove their cameras into their faces. Great to finally read something about Bangladesh, not many people go there (yet?), probably as it's not glamorous to go to one of the poorest countries on this planet. Cheers, Jens

We are thrilled to read this blog
We are going to Bangladesh later this year and it is great reading your post. Not too many people travel to or blog from Bangladesh. How much time in total did you spend there. You are correct that your photos are not your usual quality...sorry for the camera issues. But, loved the bird on the cow photo. The boat breaking looks interesting. We may need to take a look at that. Looking forward to your next blog.

Thank you for your blog about Murmansk
I appreciate your point of view that Murmansk may not be beautiful but its there in the far far arctic. I plant to visit Murmansk this coming summer. There is not much about the place, except some trumped up tourist stuff about the sights. I want to know if there is a synagogue. According to what I have read on the web (Wiki), the northern most synagogue is in Murmansk. But I can find no mention of it. Do you know about it? Thank you so much.

Synagogue in Murmansk
Hi Parmalee, I can not say if there is or is not a synagogue in Murmansk. I didn't see any but then I could have walked right past one without knowing it was there. It is a bit difficult to find information on things in Murmansk even if you know what you are looking for. I wish you good luck with your visit in Murmansk. It is not your average tourist destination but that is also what makes it a nice place in my opinion. Ake

The first question came to mind was , did you ever read the book of Job ?.. I would love to be able to walk the path of the Job and to see a part of this ancient world. Thank you for sharing your vacation with the world in such details , I can say from reading about your journey and seeing the pictures i\'m taken there visually in spirit.
