WOW!
Reading this made me feel guilty I sat on the couch and watched a few Southpark episodes yesterday. This is an unbelievable travel companion. Keep your head up, all your stateside friends are with you spiritually, especially during the holiday season. Be safe, and looking forward to crossing paths again some time soon!

Incredible
This whole story is absolutely amazing Charlie and written very well. It sounds like you took a great deal away from the trip even if the lessons taught were harsh. I am happy to see that you still remain happy and committed to peace. With your permission I would like to forward this to others.

strength of character
Charlie, I woke up today to find your blog in my email again. I have just finished catching up with it back to '06. Today's entry has moved me deeply. Bless you for sharing it. Your strength of character throughout your journey reminded me why I feel so close to this day to your parents, Leslie and Gary. You are a fine man, I am humbled to know you, and grateful you shared your story with me. Love to you and your family, Mary Anne

what courage you have
Dear Charlie I read your beautiful blog and was simultaneously horrified, moved, and inspired. You have great courage and thank you for telling this story. I had heard some of it from others before but really hearing it directly from you, whom I know, was very moving. I was at a Human Rights Watch dinner the other night and it was full of jews. I hope we can work together to prevent these human rights abuses. There is no substitute for standing up for what is right. Even if we die doing it. I applaud you. with love, Cheryl Walker

A world of lessons and adventures!
Charlie, I love your thoughts and observations! What a lot of adventures you have had since Emma and I left you less than a month ago! I am so glad things have panned out so well. I'm sure there have been hard days but I love hearing about all the things you are doing and learning. I see that October 1 has turned to November 1! We'll hold that empty nest for a month and then have a grand celebration when you come home. Stay well. We love you. Mom

Anyway enjoy and good luck in your studies.

Dad says you are looking quite Australian!
This one was well worth waiting for! Your excitement before the trip and when you returned was just palpable on the phone. We are so happy that you are having such an exciting time. Somehow there is a little TOO much talk of drinking in everything I read. How does anyone in that country avoid becoming an alcoholic???! I love the references and pictures of the country pub. It reminds me of a place where we spent Christmas in England. All locals, 400 years old, coal fireplace. Just fabulous. Keep having fun and sending these great pictures. Love, Mom and Dad

Wow!
Charlie, I loved your incredible vignettes and photos. Thanks for including me. Being a wine appreciator like you, I will also try some of those you suggested. The final photo (I have no idea) is the topper. Continue having fun! Virginia

spiders and bugs and beer
You have to be real careful especially after blowing the froth off a few cool ones. I remember back in my Thailand days after having a few drinks with some friends I damn near steped on a viper. It was a good thing a friend pushed me down. Have fun. JJ

G'day mate! Good to see you're having fun. Little advice, don't take too many hard classes, didn't do me any good. So take it easy over there and say hi to Praneel for me when you go and visit him. Rens
