I think rach was kidding I am not sure who you are Oscar, but in case you check back, I believe it was a joke. Sorry if you were offended or didn't understand. JN
Respond to Rachel The Cusco Police are actually school kids who are out in the city to help out tourist. Their duties are not to protect the tourist. They are there to help as a course of national security.
Memories of My Arm Thanks for sharing your thoughts. It's great to get that perspective a year later. Kinda reminds me of how great my arm was a year ago, and how now those are just cherished memories. But on a more serious note, it was exactly ten years ago from right now that I was spending a summer backpacking through Europe. 10 years...and it still seems like yesterday. I miss the great times, but I know I'll never forget them - neither will you and gimpy (masa). PS - you work in an ok city, but the grass is always greener... ;)
Tnaks for sharing with us, I was always looking foward to reading your comments, they were so alive that made us belive were also participating with you. Thanks for being so great both of you. With love Marelly
damn right you're going back! of course you'll go back to australia. there is so much still to see!! but i'm glad it looks like you saw some of my favorite things in sydney while you were there. sorry the blue mountains were on fire. oh and remind me to tell you a stead and kidney pie story some time. it's not exclusive to australia.
i'm confused I thought you guys were back from your trip already. This is crazy. You guys totally had me fooled that you were back, but no, you're still traveling! Wacky! Hey, am I batting lead off or second? Hmmm...
When are you coming? So when are you comin home? Are you staying with us still? Oh by the way we sold your stuff on e-bay and made a fortune except for Masa's homeless man sleeping bag. That only fetched a mere 1.50. Talk to you soon.
S+K
But what about Ellen? "Wut arrr you guys TALKING about?" OH my goodness. I was already saying "JJ", a la Lisette in my head before I read the disclaimer. =) Hardest I've laughed in a while.
Thank you so much for the baby elephant post card! My fridge looks so purdy with all my cards from around the world.
I love you!
sunsets Those sunsets are beautiful. I was just wondering if Brook was there? Also you didn't really need to wear a bathing suit top, you could have just pasted hair extensions onto your front. Masa you are looking thin. Scotty says nice baseball cap. Missing you!
The Albrights
Oh ma gahd Oh ma gahd- What a heck of a trip so far..... When do you guys get back? We have a table and chairs for your new apartment when you get back. Just thnk of that...,. I know it will get you through the rough patches and if that won't... my mother will be here at Christmas. You should be looking forward to that excitement. Ahhhhhhhh!
Kim and Scotty
Be safe! We will be waiting for ya! Ps the boys love the postcards!
Anything more recent than Cambodia? Hi Jen and Masa,
I was just catching up with all your recent adventures when I realized you haven't posted in a while. Is my computer just not showing me the recent stuff or was the last posting in Cambodia? In any case, I've thoroughly enjoyed reading about all your adventures. I can't believe your 6 months will be over fairly soon. But it seems like you've packed in an amazing amount. Post again when you have a chance. I'd love to read about what you've been up to lately.
Cheers,
Carolyn
nast, just plain nasty that looks thoroughly nasty. Although nasty in a good way. At least you'll think our Southern California water is clean again when you're home. lol - it's all relative i guess.
Thanks for keeping us posted. Rachel and I are off to Italy for the AIDS marathon this week. When do you guys come back?
Things to say when negotiating price ¡Dieziocho soles! That scares them into giving you a better price. Then give them an oddball price like , "¡Doce y cuarenta!"
scammers No one likes to get scammed anywhere. I think though that's partially the fault of our "conditioned" thinking here in the the US and developed worlds that once we read something or see something on the internet that that's SUPPOSE to be the price. And most probably it is the price there or here but not in third world contries, where poverty, hunger, and disease are more common that the next meal or money. You are their next meal ticket literally, and they will never see you again as you are just passing through and your just a face that may have some money to spend on them. I sympathize with you guys because it is hard to fend everyone off when you just want to enjoy the sites and keep to the budget that you established. Just remember that the law of travling is usually what you pay too much of somewhere else you will get back somewhere else and in the end your trip will all just be AMAZING and all those scammers and situations will just melt away. It was a great travel diary to read so far so keep it up. As far as the guilt and poverty it certainly puts things in perspective... which is what a great travel journey is suppose to do. Dawn :)
hell @#*!@ yeah!!!!!!!!!!!! oh my god, you have no idea. well okay maybe you do. we stayed up late watching the results come in....soooo happy. so so happy.
Hi Jen and Masa! Finally got a computer so I've been catching up on all your travels. Definitely living vicariously thru you guys and enjoying all the blogs and photos. Sorry to hear about your Grandma, Jen. Ciao!
