Maar je hebt hele leuke dingen gedaan. En goh we kunnen nog bijna 70 jaar van je genieten. Maar hoe ga je dat aanpakken met die vrouwen??? Nou ja tijd genoeg om erover na te denken. Wij filosoferen hier wel over mee hahaha..... Nou op naar je volgende verhaal. De foto's zijn prachtig!! Veel plezier verder Doeiug............................ |

| 30th October 2009 Charlotte | weer op reis - From: The dream that is Tibet Hoi Ralph, Je bent alweer een tijdje op reis, lees ik. Mooie visie heb je op de invloed van de chinesen in Tibet ten opzichte van de gehele wereldeconomie. En, inderdaad, de wijsheden en kennis van het Buhdisme verspreiden zich nu over de hele wereld. Dat is prachtig en daar ben ik ook dankbaar om. Mooi foto's. Ik zou het ook graag willen zien/beleven. Maar, ja ... die eeuwige verantwoordelijkheid te opzichte van kidz en praktijk. Daar krijg je me zelfs met veel meditatie niet zo maar van af. Ik heb altijd iemand nodig die me mee trekt. Maar er is hoop: mijn ' honkvaste' man wil van me scheiden. Nah, klote, natuurlijk, maar ik maak er maar een grapje van. Over twee weken wordt mijn nieuwe huis opgeleverd en verhuist mijn aanstaande ex dus niet mee. Had ik je overigens al aangeboden, dat als je tandheelkundige hulp nodig hebt je welkom bent? Misschien heb je nog wel een tandarts, ergens, maar zie maar. Jan had geloof ik, een super goed gebit, dus jij vast ook wel. Check www.trotsopjetanden.nl voor meer info. Ik hoop snel je avonturen en overpeinzingen weer te lezen. Charlotte |
| 30th October 2009 Marijn | Go Ralf! - From: The dream that is Tibet Jeee, Ralf is weer aan het reizen! Supermooi verhaal en holy shit wat een mooi landschap! Vanuit het mistige herfstige Delft wens ik je natuurlijk heel veel plezier en succes en duim met je mee voor een tweede bezoek aan Tibet. |
| 28th October 2009 gurujim | Nice writing - From: The dream that is Tibet Nice ponderings...these people visited a different way: http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Pakistan/Northern-Areas/blog-197691.html but I think even though you took a tour, you have more time to ponder, instead of worrying! |
| 7th October 2009 EdVallance | - From: Intermezzo V Hey, interesting to see what you get up to when you're not traipsing round the world! I'm also on an involuntary break, although not as short or relaxing as yours - private tutoring rich people in Moscow! Nice pics of Mont St Michel and Rennes - both places close to my heart as I "studied" at uni there for 6 months |
| 6th October 2009 Linn | - From: Intermezzo V Hi Ralfie, Beautiful photos as usual and especially the photos of the flowers in Mammas garden .. they are truely lovely!! It was also nice to see photos of your friends. |
| 16th September 2009 Cabochick | honesty not always the best policy ;o) - From: All that glitters is not gold... Thanks so much for your honest blog. I am one of those who wonder what it would be like to do what you are doing. I have a very stable life, great pension, home, money to burn, but often dream of throwing it all away to see the world. I appreciate hearing the other side. Your blogs are great, pictures amazing and there are many of us living vicariously through you. Maybe a trip home to decompress will help. All the best. |
| 4th September 2009 minhaj | advise - From: 'To stare or not to stare that is the question' The cox bazar is best beach inthe world, but i 'm soorry to say there have anought hotel's but no gide, no good security.no good manegement frome goverment.

| 30th August 2009 smiling buddha | ur blog on 'why do I travel'? - From: Why do I bother travelling? I read ur entry, and i must say, its a beautiful piece of writing. Not only because of grammar or writing style but because you have spoken from ur heart. I have tried travelling alone, and though i like it, sometimes it gets very boring and lonely. But again that zeal to travel, to see new places, to meet new ppl come back to u n u keep moving. At least u r living ur dream. I am from India, n I hav just started experimenting...n I want to roam the world too...the prob is i am too short of funds |
| 19th August 2009 KIM | - From: Living on a prayer... The Photos are beautiful, i haven't been there in the past 8yrs lol |

| 4th August 2009 Sam | prayer the only phone call to our father - From: Living on a prayer... this is one of most surprising info I have ever heard from a land in which I was born. God does his work in marvellous ways. I will one day Iwill go to Mizo myself to see this marvel. Thank you for taking such pain to put this info on the the web. God bless you my brother where ever in the world you are. |
| 27th May 2009 Carina McDonald | - From: Arabian nights You are an absolutely fantastic writer, your blog is a pleasure to read! :) I was in Dubai in 2007 and it was a memorable trip. |
| 15th April 2009 sammy | the best pic - From: 'To stare or not to stare that is the question' the most funny pic was you with the cops. Made me laugh. Great job btw |
| 12th April 2009 kaki_travel @ Travel Malaysia Forum | - From: Arabian nights Oman surely is hot. Should buy bottles of sunblock in my bag. But it would be nice to spend some time there. |
| 11th April 2009 EdVallance | - From: Arabian nights Great blog! I spent two years in Oman from 1995 - 1997 and I recognise all the places in your photos with great fondness, although some of them have changed a fair bit since I was last there, especially the "Typical road"!! |
| 6th April 2009 Ralte`` | - From: Living on a prayer... Thanks for making me Proud of My Culture and my Motherland,I give thanks to god that Im am Mizo |
| 3rd April 2009 Anders | Ahhh, the epistemic turnaround in a traveller's identity lifecycle - From: Why do I bother travelling? So, I can see that you have reached the last stage in the identity life-cyckle which arguably could look like: Tourist - Backpacker - Individual traveller - Pilgrim You are not an individual traveller anymore, but have attained your inner equilibrium. You do not differentiate between home and being abroad, since both are genuine parts of your travel. So, you are a pilgrim. That's nice and only something that few people get to experience. For your outmost benefit, read this profile and text as it is intrinsic to your situation and feelings: http://members.virtualtourist.com/m/875b1/ This will perhaps help you with, and support, your epistemic, inner journey. Best wishes, Anders Madsen Pedersen Denmark |
| 2nd April 2009 Tori | - From: Why do I bother travelling? I understand this....you do travel hard and I know what it's like to feel lonely. I'm a planner too! and, btw, NICE photo of the peacock |
| 2nd April 2009 Mell | - From: Why do I bother travelling? I think everybody gets that feeling. It is why I assigned travel to one corner of my life, instead of dovoting all my life to it, despite how much I love it. It is a case of too much of a good thing is bad. I am currently having that feeling about child care. I suppose everybody has too much of something and too little of something else. :) |
| 31st March 2009 His Dudeness | Thanks to everyone for the comments - From: Why do I bother travelling? Thanks for all the nice comments and to let you all know, especially those of you who are fearing that I will give up my nomadic lifestyle, not to worry, I shall travel until the end of my days. I shall also, I am sure, at times feel like it is enough. But I can not and will not give up my travelling. It would make me deeply unhappy if I did. I travel, therefore I am! |
| 31st March 2009 swissmaple | Ah the duality...isn't it fun? - From: Why do I bother travelling? It's comforting to know that you go through the same musings I do when I travel. And here I was wondering if maybe I wasn't cut out for the traveling lifestyle since now all I want is a home to go back to. I enjoy reading your stories! |
| 30th March 2009 Paul D | - From: Why do I bother travelling? Great stuff, and sounds exactly like my thoughts a few months ago. It's certainly not only you who feels like that:) |
| 30th March 2009 Sharon | I ask myself the same question from time to time... - From: Why do I bother travelling? Hi, I found your blog interesting. I have done a tonne of travel (including to Chitwan!) in the form of three roughly year long trips. At times, I get tired too, especially in "tough" travel places such as India or Africa, and wonder what I am doing. However, I just arrived home in February after an 18 month stint and I am back working and, let me tell you, there isn't a day that goes by when I don't wonder what I was doing this time last year as I drag myself out of bed in the early morning to shower and get ready for work, having to put on nice clothes and even make-up - shock! All of that material goods and responsibility stuff really just catches back up with you and you end up longing for the simple days when all you need is a backpack and a Lonely Planet! Clothes wrinkled and faded? Who cares?! Make the most of the travel life while it still lasts, is my advice! ;) |
| 30th March 2009 Jenny adams | hang in there - From: Why do I bother travelling? I know exactly what you mean. You know, right before I met you guys at paradiso - i was in a similar boat and longing for home. Some of us just have nomadic souls. The key is, i think, - when you feel like that - you have to find a way to make a small slice of home whereever you are. lots of love from america!!! j |
| 30th March 2009 willy | - From: Why do I bother travelling? ha Ralf, Nou wat ik begreep ga je eerst naar je zus. Nou daar wordt je heerlijk in de watten gelegd. En dan kom je thuis. Nou je ouders hebben voor jou een heerlijke relaxstoel gekocht, (het gras is wel meters hoog) de kersterren die ik heeeeel goed verzorgd heb moeten nog begraven worden. O ja en het zwembad, nou je mams verheugd zich op je komst. Nooit zo'n helder bad gehad sinds jij er was. Dus kortom een hele goede reden om naar huis te komen. O ja en pa is de computer aan het blokkeren zodat je vanaf heden alleen met muntjes online kunt. Kortom feest in Gaanderen. Er is veel veranderd. Maar ik ben er ook nog om de feestvreugde te vergroten en wie weet begeleiden wij onze schrijver wel naar Engeland Veel plezier nog bij Linn en haar gezin en tot gauw. Liefs Willy |
| 30th March 2009 denidax | same, same - From: Why do I bother travelling? Hey!!!, we spent about 5 months in SE Asia and, the last few weeks I was dying to go home: sleep in MY bed, eat food knowing that I will like it, talking to my friends... but one of the first things I did when we arrived was to grab a map and start thinking about the next trip... so you're NOT alone... Deni |
| 30th March 2009 siobhan | !!!!never thought i d hear the day - From: Why do I bother travelling? ... i think its time for the ashram |
| 30th March 2009 Konstantin Antonov | With gratitude to your work mister Ralf Kreuze! - From: A short trip to the North Dear Mr. Kreuze! I liked your works which you have made in Balkh. If you not against, whether I can place some of them on the site, devoted histories of Afghanistan. I guarantee preservation of your copyrights. Yours faithfully Konstantin Antonov. |
| 30th March 2009 Linn | - From: Why do I bother travelling? Hi Ralfie, just wanted to say that your photos as usual are great. Pity you didn't get a better picture of the rhino ... I personally think you should have hung around a little longer!! And I also commiserate on your musings on the pros and cons of travelling .. my heart bleeds for you! Your favourite sister |

| 13th March 2009 Anonymous | Arrrrgh! What happened to your hair??? - From: Faded memories o_O And have you put on a bit of weight? |
| 9th March 2009 Caroline | Mmmmm - From: There is always an advantage to every disadvantage Give me dahl baht any day over steaks! |
| 8th March 2009 crazy81 | great photos - From: There is always an advantage to every disadvantage hello there his dudeness..great photos, what camera are you using? and how long you have been traveling?seems you've been aroud the world huh?..anyhow, great shots.. |
| 7th March 2009 Vanesa | It is not you - From: There is always an advantage to every disadvantage Hi there I was living and travelling in India for 6 months. I used to live/travel with other foreigners and, just as you, we enjoyed avoiding the haze of touristic places. But there is always a balance: sometimes you would want to go to a restaurant with nice- highly hygienic food and loos. In India, German Bakeries always work as you know. Enjoy Nepali chai (I heard it has a peculiar smell ^_^). |
