| 23rd April 2007 Alex | Good to hear there were no problems - From: Hanoi to Kunming Farah & John Glad to hear the LP wasn't taken away. They were good to me too, on the laotian border. It was one of my easiest crossings ever. The rest of the day... not so easy. China is definately a profound place. |
| 16th April 2007 FarahAndJohn | Photos! - From: Hanoi to Kunming Great! I wish I could have photographed the figures, they're really the highlight. Other temples we've seen have also had the most amazing things inside, but they're generally holy or delicate so not photographable and we have to be content with an outside shot of the building. I'd love to have some photos to help remember them |
| 8th April 2007 Sergei | I've been there too ;) - From: Hanoi to Kunming Good to see the places that I recognize. When I was visiting Shilin, I was told that in the old days it was considered the main wonder of the world. And it is still beautiful... Regarding Bamboo's temple monks figures: when I was there (a while back), photos were permitted, so I've got a few picture to send to you... |
| 9th March 2007 Sergei | I will be there one day - From: Siem Reap and Angkor Wat Farah and John, this certainly THE post I've been waiting for. And it was well worth the wait! I knew a bit about this place (it is still on my list of places to visit), but what you've shared opened a few things I even could not imagine! Now I absolutely proud that I've decided to vote for this place as one of the New 7 Wonders of the World (http://www.new7wonders.com). I cannot wait to see the rest of the pictures from this place and hear more about about your experience... |
| 6th March 2007 Andrew Douglas | Whats the chance? One in a million?!! - From: Siem Reap and Angkor Wat so i'm sitting at the computer with my girlfriend, Jen, and we need to create a blog site for our travels to Asia (flying out to Bangkok tomorrow). I google 'travel blog' and TravelBlog.com comes up - this seems to be a good match I think to myself.... we surf the site for abit to look around at peoples blogs - lets look at Asia, Camboida (cause thats where we are going!). I scroll down the page, looking at titles and names and come across 'FarahAndJohn'. "Wait a minute i say to Jen, my cousins names John and his wife is called Farah - it couldn't be....?!" And the rest is history :) Hi John and Farah! |
| 5th March 2007 Kevin | Happy birthday! - From: Siem Reap and Angkor Wat Hi guys, been following your adventures and fantasizing about not being in central Pennsylvania, and I'm beyond envious. Enjoy the last few legs of the trip and happy birthday, Farah! |
| 20th February 2007 Huang | wow! i wish i were back in M'sia.... - From: Chiang Mai Philippa Williams who went to school with Farah's mom gave me your blogsite. I'm from M'sia & recognized the trays from your cooking class (latest blog entry) & the buns from the street vendor. I'm all nostalgic & wish I'm back in M'sia celebrating Chinese New Year & eating yummy food. thanks for an excellent blog. |
| 12th February 2007 marion Locke | joining in - From: Chiang Mai I was talking to you mom today, she gave me your address. I see that I have lots to catch up on. Marion |
| 20th January 2007 rubels | Wonderful Entry - From: The backwaters, Kollam to Allepey Thanks for sharing this slice of travel. I dream of going to India and get my fix by reading travelogue. Thanks! |
| 19th January 2007 Coop | Nice Work. I'm in! - From: The backwaters, Kollam to Allepey heya John & Farah! just got the link from Sarah & Jay and have all caught up reading your excellent adventures. this is so great, sounds like you're having a fabulous time. in fact, it's made me so jealous I've just quit my job and will be meeting you guys in Allepey tomorrow. we'll have a chai and discuss packaderm strategies. ;-) safe & awesome travels, can't wait to read more. cheers! Coop |
| 11th January 2007 Steve | Saying hey - From: Kovalam Hey guys! The Boots and I are sitting here on a weeknight whilst I negotiate a fine deal on eBay - a tactic I call the "drop ship from Malaysia special". Like your parcels, we will see if I actually get the shipment. Like Jenny said, it's vicarious living for us - so keep adventuring and the like. On the weather front, our temperature finally doesn't resemble yours - for the first time in months we dropped below 0 deg. C. I can actually use the Ice Skates I got for Christmas without also having to purchase the "Nike/Bauer Global Warming Wetsuit", a device that has been introduced this year to help those that love their hockey cope with the slush like conditions we are experiencing. Sounds like you are having tons of fun. We're watching. Rock on. Steve |
| 2nd January 2007 Dawn | Happy New Year - From: Ooty and Coonoor Farah & John, wishing you happiness and health for the New Year. The pictures of the lit palace in Mysore are absolutely beautiful, what a great way to spend the holiday. Many thanks for sharing your journey with us - safe travels and I look forward to future posts! Take care, Dawn |
| 31st December 2006 Jen and Steve | Merry Christmas and Happy New Year - From: Ooty and Coonoor We both wish you a merry x-mas and new year. What an amazing way to be spending x-mas 2006 and the turn of the new year!! Your photos are fantastic, keep them coming...living vicariously through you. (still no snow in T.O.) (Leaf's still loosing badly and injury plagued) Jen and Steve |
| 30th December 2006 brenda krohn | Happy New Year - From: Ooty and Coonoor what a fantastic journey you are on!!! I am always amazed at the great tales you are relating to us and the great pics. Thanks for keeping us informed. You will have a quite a diary when you get home!!!! Brenda |
| 29th December 2006 Sergei | Happy New Year! - From: Ooty and Coonoor Farah and John, we wish you the happiest New Year! Thanks a lot for bringing closer to us such a wonderful world. Looking forward for your future posts! Cheers. |
| 28th December 2006 Aaron and Debra | Happy Holidays!! - From: Hampi Hey guys, hope you're having a most wonderful time in your travels. Such incredible pictures and marvelous narrative. Just wanted to drop you a line wishing you both a happy new year and safe journeys. We can't believe there's really only six weeks to go? Dig the beard too John! Cheers, Aaron and Debra |
| 10th December 2006 Steve | Update on Toronto - From: More clips Nice to see you guys are glowing up the screen! Have to say that after I saw John lose his mind at the Raptors game that I am sure that he will have no problems dancing in a Bollywood movie. Leafs are on a 7 game losing streak - Toronto is a beaultiful scene (per normal at Christmas). Jenny and I are thinking about you a bunch, and are vicariously enjoying your sites and adventures - keep the pictures coming. Steve |
| 28th November 2006 Carol Lavin | - From: Ellora I have just caught up on all your travels. You two are brave and really seem like you have good heads on your shoulders. That should alleviate your parents' stress a little. The scenery and adventures sound wonderful. I hope when you get home to hear a little more from you but your blogs are so detailed. We have not travelled to India but would like to, so your advice to others will be so valuable. Keep safe, enjoy and John I hope you are feeling better and Farah, I don't think you can take a bad photo. Take care Regards Carol |
| 27th November 2006 Sergei | Elora - From: Ellora Now I see why a British officer wanted to name a town in Ontario after this cave!... |
| 26th November 2006 Jason Edwards | latest - From: Indore, Mandu, the bus, Aurangabad Sounds like you two are having a truly unique and wonderful experience! Can't wait to talk about it in person when it's over... and John, if I had a baby, and you were wearing that hat, and I didn't know you, I'd let you hold him/her as well! ;) |
| 17th November 2006 Dawn | - From: Bunch of bananas Hi John and Farah, I too am really enjoying your journals; they are a great escape into a glimpse of the great experiences that you are having. The pictures are fabulous and the journals provide a great perspective of your daily discoveries; including the 10 rupees bananas :o). Wishing you safe travels and I look forward to reading more. Take care. |
| 17th November 2006 FarahAndJohn | No camel spit?! - From: Jaisalmer-Jodhpur Honestly, it was almost disappointing considering the reputation. Though they did make a nice "Mmmeeeeengh!" to complain as they were being saddled. And the breath was like salad gone bad (brown water in bag). Stay upwind. |
| 15th November 2006 MarGar | Happy - From: Udaipur Hi Folks, We are enjoying the blogs. I loved the sign on the wall behind the woman who are doing laundry...save water. I guess that is a problem whereever you go. A floating palace.....certainly would keep company from just dropping in to see you;however, once they arrived, you may be stuck with them for awhile. The camels seemed to have a ridge on their backs. That must have cause sitting problems for the two of you. Continue to enjoy your time together. Love MARGAR |
| 14th November 2006 Jeremy W | Camels - From: Jaisalmer-Jodhpur Level with us couz - how many times has a camel spit on ya?? |
| 13th November 2006 Kath | Cool Pics! - From: Jaisalmer-Jodhpur Hey Farah and John, Cool pics!! It is just gorgeous and you look like you are having a wonderful time. I get excited checking in to you blog to see where you are next. :) Hope all is well. |
| 12th November 2006 kirsten | hello! - From: Jaisalmer-Jodhpur hi farah and john - just wanted to let you know that i'm really enjoying your blog entries. it's great to hear what you are up to!! sounds amazing. and the photos are great. too bad that you won't have the 5-star accommodation as planned - hopefully you aren't too desperate for more luxury. it looks and sounds like you are managing well so that's great! take care, kirsten |
| 7th November 2006 erin | - From: Jaisalmer I can't believe how much you have seen and done already! the pictures are gorgeous and it sounds like you are having an amazing time! can't wait to read/see more of your adventures! |
| 6th November 2006 Steve | Awesome photos and hats - From: Bikaner Your trip sounds awesome, and your journals are so eloquently composed! Keep it coming. Jenny and I will be watching along from the comfy confines of the 'hood'. Steve |
| 2nd November 2006 Anaud | Have fun! - From: Jaipur Hi guys - I can't believe you're finally there, and already managed some major itinerary changes! John blends in nicely with the white background of the cremation house in the picture -- I can't wait to see how native you look after 6 months in the burning sun! Keep blogging to give us back home a chance to escape around the world for a few minutes! Anaud |
| 2nd November 2006 Aaron | Beautiful! - From: Jaipur Off to a fantastic start!! The Wind Palace is aptly named, it reminds me of a monstrous Whirlitzer When I blur my eyes. Love the hats you guys! Ciao, Aaron |
| 1st November 2006 Sergei | So far and so near... - From: Jaipur Wow! I wish I was I there!... Good to see you doing fine despite some "minor logistical problems". Good luck! |
| 31st October 2006 Navin | Good Pics - From: Jaipur Good Pictures, do read about my visit to Jaipur too. Thanks, Navin, India |
