| 11th February 2009 pPamela | - From: Cloudy paradise Loved your blog. I too have stayed at Lili's back in 2004. You were brave staying by yourself in one of those huts. Luckily I had an Indonesian woman to share the room with- she is like my family and comes from Padang. There were 5 of us,, the boys in one hut and Elvy and I in the other. Magic location. Can't wait to get back to Indonesia in 2010 for a 6 month trip this time. Pamela |
| 21st December 2008 Lucinda | late! - From: Gili T hey! this is really cool, brings back Gili T memories. You were so nice to me when I ws sickums thank-you again :) Could never have downloaded this in Kali- internet totally crappo! Am in Jakarta heading back to Aus tonight. Hope the kids are good and you have a nice break for christmas. xo |
| 14th October 2008 Occasionally Bob | Great pictures! - From: Korea got Seoul Hey - that was when we were Facebookering wasn't it? When you were in Seoul airport? I was partly responsible for your unwashed state! It's like the butterfly flapping its wings thing. A Scotsman in New Zealand's typing finger can cause a plane in Korea to be contaminated by an unwashed American girl. Cause and effect. Wow. |
| 20th August 2008 Kindie and Guillaume | HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! - From: Gili T Hi Jenifer! Do you remember us? Friendship highway? Tibet? Nepal? Kidney problems? Chitwan elephants??? We remember us of course and often have warm thoughts for you! Thanks for making us keep on travelling!!! HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY birthday! Lots of kisses, Kindie and Guillaume, French couple. |
| 20th August 2008 Kindie | French friends! - From: Gili T Hi Jen! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!! I dream to join you but we just come back from Jordan (with Guillaume) and it's time to go back to work :-( This island seems so nice! Enjoy your trip, enjoy diving, enjoy noddle and asian soup, enjoy your life dear Jen and take care of you! Kisses and love, your Tibet and Nepal friends... |
| 20th August 2008 Sarah | Happy birthday! - From: Gili T Did you have ranch with your birthday nachos? ;) |
| 1st July 2008 Amy | - From: Forest people yeah for climbing mountains with super-fit Europeans + Austrailians! Sweat and all, I'm still jealous... |
| 1st July 2008 Mike J | Yay Sumatra!!! - From: Forest people Ha... someone else who found it difficult... Faye and I were knackered, slipping all over the place and covered head to toe in mud!!! Good times tho! Indonesia was always our favourite and we're eager to go back!!!! Safe travels! x |
| 21st May 2007 Phil | Train tickets from Chengdu to Lhasa - From: Pandas and more Can one get train tickets or reservations for the new train from Golmud or Chengdu to Lhasa online? If not, where can one get them in Chengdu? How much does the cheapest one-way ticket cost? Please reply to my email address: pperrinmis@yahoo.com Thanks! |
| 3rd May 2007 Jack | Hats off to you - From: Tibet Train Jenni, Carol You are somer bad &%$$ travellers. And you Carol.... taking your two young daughters. I went from Golmud to Lhasa by bus back in 2000 and had heard rumors about a train. My three little boys are all under 4. I may have to wait a bit before taking them up. |
| 13th March 2007 Occasionally Bob | Dangerous Looking Rides - From: The Sun That Never Ends I have to say that the thought of a BIG Ferris wheel is a bit much for me. I prefer the more gentle, grounded tea-cups or caterpillar ride that moves at a pace more in line with my own brains. On the occupation front I have a suggestion: ... are you ready?... ...sure?... I think you should be... ...the person that makes sure all the astronauts have enough dried curry (or even ranch dressing) in their little pouches to make it round the earth a few times. Your keen observations of the current space programme should stand you in good stead. |
| 1st March 2007 Bridget | - From: A Little Slice of Heaven Those shoes ROCK! Don't you love how out of everything, THAT'S what I comment on? You know me...shoe-aholic. |
| 28th February 2007 Occasionally Bob | Omen... - From: My feet get a treat and my hair takes a beating I read this just before I was about to have my haircut in Saigon. After you mentioning that it was a Vietnamese lady who cut off your locks, I took it as a sign and aborted the mission! Have you any experiences (good or bad) with Cambodian hairdressers which you would like to share before I do anything rash?! |
| 27th February 2007 Richard | Photos - From: Home life is weird Did you ever get round to developing ur photos from Africa |
| 27th February 2007 Bridget | Um, I'm dumb. - From: My feet get a treat and my hair takes a beating Hey, I think I may have accidentally unsubscribed from your blog. Is there a way you can find out? I can't believe how long your hair was! How short is it now? |
| 25th February 2007 Jeannine | welcome back - From: Home life is weird Hey Jenn, welcome back to blog land. It was good to hear from you. All is well here at the zoo. The new gorilla exhibit is working out great. We have temp positions if you need something to do for a while. |
| 24th February 2007 ASHLEY | PHOTO - From: My feet get a treat and my hair takes a beating HALLO!MY NAME IS ASHLEY MY COUNTRY IS HONG KONG. WOULD YOU MIND I TAKE THE COMMENTS FOR YOU? THEN,YOUR CHILDREN IS VERY VERY FUNNY. AND I WANT KEEP YOUR BLOG HAVE LEARN ENGLISH! WOULD YOU MIND?THANK YOU. |
| 31st January 2007 Carol Swenson | Thanks for the info! - From: Tibet Train Jenni It was great to read your blog concerning the train from Chengdu to Tibet. I have booked my 2 daughters (ages 8 and 11) and I on the train in March and have been worried about being able to see aout the windows, the general feeling of the train, etc. Thanks! I can't wait now. Fears relieved! Carol |
| 12th December 2006 Darcey | More vacation days! - From: Re-entry and Reverse Culture Shock I totally agree with you that it is so depressing to look at working a whole year with only two (or even one!) week off! I am almost done with nursing school (May '07), and the hospital where I hope to work offers 22 vacation days, 12 holidays, 6 personal days, 10 sick days... That is pretty standard for the nursing jobs I've looked into. So be a nurse with me! You can even be a travelling nurse where companies pay your housing and transportation while you work in a new location for weeks or months at a time. There you go. I figured out your job conundrum! :) Btw... when are you going to invite me to visit you on that Florida beach??? Happy to have you back, but disappointed that I won't get your blogs. |
| 12th December 2006 steve shipley | fantastic journey - From: Re-entry and Reverse Culture Shock hi jen steve here from guilin china, we met on train from moscow to beijing, i have followed your blogs throught the journey since i reached guilin. i am glad your back home safe. what an epic adventure you have had i have enjoyed reading it, although it made me slightly jealous, (hehehe) not to have done as many countries as you have. (25 - 6 no contest) dont forget when then travel bug hits again to stop in at guilin this time and we can catch up. take care and keep in touch best wishes and kindest regards steve |

| 5th November 2006 Bridget | - From: Rhinos and Tigers and Sloth Bears, Oh My! If I remember my intro biology correctly, the malaria resistance is due to the fact that the people are recessive carriers for sickle-cell anemia. Handy genetic adaptation, sorta. |
| 4th November 2006 Darcey | pics - From: Head of the Nile I was curious to see what a class V rapid looked like, and I found good pics on this guy's webpage: http://www.stanford.edu/~siegelr/nile.html He has a little bit of funny commentary about getting thrashed on the nile too. :) |
| 4th November 2006 Vikki & Robbie | mmm. food. - From: Healing with Good Friends and Good Food Just read your epic! Very dramatic and scarey but we`re glad to hear you are well again and back to getting to enjoy eating your grub again : ) Hope you enjoy bonnie Scotland! |

| 4th October 2006 MichaelnFaye | Hi From U.K. - From: Home of Clouds and Rain Hey, Hey, Hey... Got your msg while we in Shanghai... but now we're finally home - Boo!!!. We've unpacked and got mounds of washing to do! Hope the journey to Chengdu wasn't too bad and enjoy the Pandas. It was rammed with people in Shanghai so I'm sure the national holiday is keeping it exciting for you! We'll be keeping an eye on your Blog so you'll be probably hear from us regularly. Take Care, Michael and Faye. |
| 3rd October 2006 Tanya | anything fried is good - From: Home of Clouds and Rain i've been trying to keep up with all of the reading. I really love living vicariously through friends that are traveling. Remember when "anything fried is good" became our mantra in Ecuador? |
| 31st August 2006 cody | attention - From: Amman, Still jen, you've always been a hit with those studly male foreigners. and how the hell are you anyway? |
| 12th August 2006 Dana Pikkert | - From: Amman, Still What do you mean you'll "think about it???" Come on! The whole starting a new business with a total stranger from a completely different country sounds like a done deal to me! |
| 1st August 2006 Miranda | - From: Roof Turkeys Jenny, I'm not reading anymore. These are making me dizzy with jealousy. |
| 24th July 2006 steve s | madagascar - From: Chasing Winter Jen, I'm glad you got to see the Indris up close, but the rest of your time in Mad. sounded so rough that I will scratch it from my future travel plans. You certainly have grown strong, and sarcastic, along the way. I admire your courage and tenacity. I have been surprised by how cold it was there and in Africa. By the way, it was 107 F. in Eugene, Or. yesterday, but a delightful 70 F. at the gorgeous coast. I'm glad I'm here for now. |
| 23rd July 2006 Pete & Claudia | We're green with envy! - From: Gorillas Hi Jen! We've been avidly following your journey across Africa, and are SO jealous! Keep on travelling - it definitely makes us look forward to more travel whilst back in Blighty! |
| 15th July 2006 steve schweitzer | rafting - From: Head of the Nile I had no idea that the Nile had class V rapids. That is equivalent to the worst rapid on the Colorado, in the Grand Canyon, which I rafted for 18 days in May with my friends from Eugene and had an incredible time, better than anything I had done during my 7 months overseas. You sure have become brave during the past 6 months. Rock on! |
| 11th July 2006 Dana Pikkert | Hooray for Leopards! - From: Leopards on the prowl Wow!! You got to see the leopards! That's awesome. Glad to hear that everything is still going well. Looking forward to more entires to read about. Stay safe! |
| 22nd May 2006 cody | no worries - From: Living it up jen, your adventures sound amazing. i feel jealous when i read each new update. i hope you are well and enjoying your new experiences. take care, no worries about responding. i will talk to you soon enough. |
| 16th April 2006 Darcey | INSANE! - From: Lazy Days You are absolutely insane for jumping off that bridge! 650 feet??? You couldn't PAY me enough to do that! I'll admire you forever, jen! :) |
| 3rd April 2006 mike | lol - From: Garbage Horses its funny that you mention "garbage horses"... the people who collect garbage using those carriages arent official garbage men.. THEY DO HAVE GARBAGE TRUCKS IN URUGUAY....lol... those guys are simply very poor and rely on the garbage they collect for survival. |
| 2nd April 2006 Steph | hang in there - From: Cape Town, The Windy City hang in there jen. we are all way jealous of you, whether or not we admit it.... like i wrote before - YOU are our American IDOL! if i knew how to send you some cash, i would! love steph!!!! |
| 27th March 2006 Darcey | Wow! - From: The mighty mighty falls When I read this entry, I had never heard of the Iguazu Falls. So I did some "google-research," and looked at pictures, and they sound incredible! (It also sounds like a lot of hiking... you must be in great shape!) Btw, Mom and I just went to the island of Kauai and saw lots of waterfalls due to a very rainey season. |
| 24th March 2006 Natalia | Greetings - From: The mighty mighty falls We were so glad to meet you!! Iīm sorry that we couldnīt meet again; you are welcome to come back anytime!!!! |
