mentawai
Hi, I was very amused to read you blog, I'm from the UK and have been living in Padang for the past 13 years, I'm an English teacher in muslim university and have opened my own orphanage for street kids. Your experiences with the local people is all too familiar, it has taken me many years figure out the culture and how things work. If you ever come back to Padang or have any friends that plan to come here send me an e mail, I'm not a guide hehe, but I know the culture and the people inside out from years of experience and would be happy to help/advise fellow travellers :)

Hi!
Hello there, Sorry not to reply sooner, we have been totally off the blogging scene. But reading your comments about the Mentawai islands has reminded me of how amazing and crazy those times were. 13 years in Padang, wow, and what great work you have been doing there. If we ever return (which I know we would love to) then we will be in contact with you, thank you for the kind offer. Hannah

Sorry didn't reply
Hi there, So sorry we didn't reply have been completely out of he blogging loop. The islands are part of the mentawai archipelago, Siberut is the main and largest/most populated island. Masalot is much harder to get to...you have to brave the likes of Mas and Corne! Did you already travel there? Hope your adventures were as wonderful as ours, Hannah

PSB receipt
Actually, it is supposed to be perfectly permissable to travel in China on the PSB receipt. I've done it. What you have to do is attach a picture to the receipt and have that picture and the receipt red-stamped at the PSB.

Great blog!
Really enjoyed the blog. It reminded me so much of my time in the area. I had pretty much the same thoughts as you. Arequipa was my favourite city in SA. Thought I'd never get back up the Colca canyon! happy travels!

We loved our time at the Colca Canyon
We didn't take the hike you did but what a fantastic area. We were lucky enough to see 7 condors on the day we went. Amazing beauty. Your blog has brought back some wonderful memories.

Whatablog!
Well if the word count reflects satisfaction, the Stones should have lived in a favela in Rio! What a great story, full of life and detail that brings favela life into the Cornish seascape.I really enjoyed it. Rio tourist board shoul send you a fee (nb rio tourism workers). Is all life in Rio a beach, or does anyone work. Sounds like paradise. We are looking for a publisher. Much love Mouty, sas Arran and William xxxx

Good camp journal
I love this camp journal. Pretty pics and honest words. Kudos~! Sorry to hear about the deforestation. I am a Malaysian native and i know what you're talking about. Breaks my heart all the time. I also camp in the jungle almost every month. It's been a long time since i go to Cameron Highlands and it's chilly weather. Some advice from a camper to another though. Malaysia is very rainy. Therefore always bring a good, light flysheet (tarpaulin) when you camp. If possible get a 10 feet by 12 feet or similar, this is large enough to live under and very light and small to carry in an back pack. Put up your half the tent - entrance side, under the flysheet . This is because when it rains (and assume it will rain everyday), you will still have a living area/dry area to do activities and to sit around. Just imagine if you didn't have the gazebo/shelter and it was raining straight for 5-6 hours. You can't cook in your tent, right? And staying in tent for hours on end won't be a good experience unless you're sleeping in it. Just a tip though, but great job there. Love reading this. Gimme a holler by mail if you wanna join in my monthly camping. Cheers, Aditya Veeraksana Veerak.
