27th August 2008 annoymous	wat pa luangta bua yannasampanno - From: Khanchanaburi and Tiger Temple. the tiger temple recieves good reviews but in a report conducted by the CWI (care for the wild international) the tiger temple behind the scenes activity is hurrendous. in the report findings have shockingly found out that the tigers are fed on a malnourishing diet of chicken carcass and occasional tins of cat and dog food the staff fail to realise this is very bad for them. The enviroment in which the tigers live in are shocking as well, illegal breeding and trading also are carried out behind the scenes as well. Baby cubs and thier mothers disappear from the temple as well, and baby cubs die in captive breeding. For the full report, www.careforthewild.org

29th March 2008 Steve & Dee	The other two from the hide. - From: Taman Negara National Park Just come across this blog and realised it was Ross's two friends writing it. This is so funny from the other sides perspective - the three of us were sat in the hide wondering what had happened to his "two skin head mates" lol Glad you both made it out ok!!
26th March 2008 Timothy MacKay	Leeches - From: Taman Negara National Park Sounds like an interesting time so far!!! Just a quick tip, probably too late now, as you'll have left the rainforest by the time you get this, but squirting insect repellant on leeches will make them fall of within a few seconds. Have fun and take care Timxxx
26th March 2008 Sarah	- From: Taman Negara National Park Oooo James - what happened to 'I won't do anything too stupid' - guess it's all part of the experience though Looks rather fun =) Xx

23rd March 2008 judy	- From: Georgetown and the Cameron Highlnds Hi, As always good to read your latest blog. Glad you are feeling better, guess you won't be eating any soup for a while!! We've had a good weekend here in Wilmslow. Woke up to a reasonable covering of snow this am, but it was all gone by lunchtime. We went for a walk this am up by the Edge and drove past the golf course--people had been sledging earlier in the morning. Have you been able to see the football today, Man U won 3-0 and arsenal/chelsea playing as I'm writing. Take care James, love Judy xx
22nd March 2008 debra	at last... - From: The Beaches Thanks for finally getting back to blogging your adventures! I was starting to worry about you. Sounds like you had some fun and a lot of alcohol. Life on the beach sounds great, I'm sorry that you tired of it. You are now on to places (really just countries) that I've never been. CU in San Diego! xoxoxox Debra
21st March 2008 Rob	- From: The Beaches I sounds like the islands go from one extreme to the other. From quiet tranquil beaches on Ko Tao club med on Ko Phi Phi! From parties to 11 am to being tucked up in bed watching a film. Scuba diving sounds like a great experience. I'm glad to hear you prefer trekking over laying on the beach. It's not surprising really; you never have wanted to stay in one place for very long! I hope your camera is ok and you get it sorted out soon. I spoke with Doc's dad (Will) a few weeks ago and he climbing Mount Blanc in June. It sounds really interesting and is something I aspire to do. Maybe it is something to plan for 2009...
