| 24th June 2009 anonymous | - From: The People of the Forest thanks heaps for your help mate. Im super pumped knowing i can experience this without selling one of my kidneys!! |
| 23rd June 2009 JakeEd1 | - From: The People of the Forest Well the trek itself was very informally arranged. A licensed guide got on our minibus while we were on the way to Bukit Lawang from Medan... We got there from Penang, Malaysia by ferry boat ride. I think that was about $20 or so USD (six hours).. and the five hour minibus ride (also informal and negotiated at the pier) was only $10 USD each for three people. Be prepared to bargain- very hard with these guys. Gang up with other travellers to cut the cost- BL is the only place people are going in that area of Sumatra so its easy to do. Good luck! |
| 23rd June 2009 anonymous | - From: The People of the Forest Awesome man that is extremely cheap for something so amazing. When you say you booked the trek was it a formal booking or did you just negotiate a price? Also wondering how expensive it was to travel from malaysia to bukit lawang? Thanks heaps for your initial reply, i look forward to this one!! Sam. |
| 23rd June 2009 JakeEd1 | - From: The People of the Forest i think it was about $40 US per person- includes meals... totally worth it |

| 31st March 2009 Rod Eck | - From: Island Life Hey guys, Beautiful places for sure. Glad you made it through the Burma thing-nasty place. Just got back from a month at our place in Baja. Wonderful.

| 4th February 2009 karl | - From: Chuc Mung Nam Moi! Happy New Year...Again Jake you are seriously talented with your writing! wow..! There was just a job posting for Australia to go do actvities and blog about it. Use this as your resume and take meggy poo for the ride! That damn nokia sound intensified must have been nuts! Meg, did you get up and yell "SHHHHHUUUTTTT UPPPPPPPP!" hahha AKA TJ. I can't decide which is my favorite picture. It is either meg driving the motorcycle and you in the cart attached or Meg leaping in the ocean when scuba diving. What a crack up! Well, just wanted to say I fully enjoyed the blog! Thanks Jake! mu ta kin yahhonehooee (Happy New Year to you too!) :) |
| 4th February 2009 JakeEd1 | - From: Chuc Mung Nam Moi! Happy New Year...Again Hey Rod and Nita! Its been awesome so far.. It is a bit strange being in a place we bombed into oblivion, but it seems like the collective mood is "forget about it and move on." Only at the My Lai Massacre site did we say we're Canadian haha. But I read 60% of the country is under 30 years old, so its a very young country thats on the move. Much more developed than its neighbors, Cambodia and Laos (so I've been told about Laos- I'll see in two weeks). Anyways, thanks for keeping up with us! Hopefully I'll have some stories to match yours at the next campfire! |
| 4th February 2009 Rod | - From: Chuc Mung Nam Moi! Happy New Year...Again Hey Guys, Sounds like a great trip so far. I love eating street food when I travel. Must be kinda strange being in a country we tried to bomb into the stone age. Weathere here has been like spring for a month. Getting dry. I say go for the diving thing Under water is a whole new world. Make sure it is a PADI course or similar thing. Nita sends her love |
| 1st February 2009 Mom | Have you tasted Pho yet? - From: Chuc Mung Nam Moi! Happy New Year...Again What is your favorite Vietnamese dish? |
| 1st February 2009 Mom | Happy New Year - From: Chuc Mung Nam Moi! Happy New Year...Again OMG! sorry Meg, but I had to laugh at Jake's story of the curb falling episode - totally something I would do. Just reading about the tunnels gave me the same eerie feeling. Kind of a dejavu for Iraq and Afganistan. Will we ever learn? Are you eating the srteet vendor stuff? Sounds magical. Have fun and enjoy every minute. Love you guys... |
| 9th January 2009 Karl | - From: Sawadee! Kah-boon-kahp (Hello, thank you) hahaha that was fabulous! hahah meg is totally going to see that the stitching is not right on that designer bag!
