| 13th July 2009 Carole Ketterer Odiet | bravo - From: The Road Home Bravo Julian ! Il ne te reste plus qu'à écrire toutes tes aventures en détails car ça m'intrigue vraiment. Si ta route devait une fois croiser celle de Lausanne sache qu'un lit ainsi que la pension complète te sera offerte avec grand plaisir en échange du récit de ton voyage. ;-) bon vent ! Carole |
| 13th June 2009 Bob Carlsen | Congratulations! - From: The Road Home Welcome home! I have enjoyed following you on your journey. I know how difficult it is to keep a blog up under such primitive conditions, but hope your first thoughts were on the experience and not on recording them for us. |
| 12th June 2009 Stewpot | - From: The Road Home Well done Julian! Thanks for including the wonderful city of Lausanne in your packed travel agenda! Take care and enjoy being spoilt by your Mam! xx |
| 9th June 2009 Chris Atkinson | Son of "Hope you're impressed" - From: Crossing Borders - Part 7: Turkey to Greece HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Does this find you safely ensconced in Chateau Moutfort? Have just caught up with your blog - now complete? Am pleased you were impressed with Turkey - I also has a very favourable impression on my two short visits (one in rain and snow by the way...). All best wishes, Chris |
| 5th June 2009 Zelin | hello - From: Crossing Borders - Part 7: Turkey to Greece Hey, Julian! Your travel is really cool!!!!!!!!! How are you doing? Where is your destination? When will you go to the US? Hope see you soon:) |
| 26th May 2009 Lou | travelling well - From: Crossing Borders - Part 6: Georgia to Turkey Mate- It looks like the 'stans treated you well, have you finished the good chairmans book yet ? |
| 26th May 2009 Gozde | Turkey... - From: Crossing Borders - Part 6: Georgia to Turkey Are u traveling to or from Turkey? If you need any assistance let me know! Take care Gozde (from long long time ago frm Luxembourg European School!) :) |
| 21st May 2009 khalid khan | Good boos - From: Journey to the West hello sir i am Khalid khan from Pakistan i love jurny from one country to other i invite to my village in pakistan you feel very good tore contact to me |
| 19th May 2009 Peter Murphy | Merv - From: Turkmenistan Lucky you, I've always wanted to explore this part of the world. Did you know that Merv used to be known as Margiana, and was the furthest outpost of the Pythian empire? When they defeated Crassus's Roman Legions at the battle of Carrhae in 53BC, they took 10,000 roman soldiers captive. Many of them were sent to Margiana, where they built the walls of the city. |
| 19th May 2009 Emily | I don't believe it - From: Crossing Borders - Part 5: Azerbaijan to Georgia Julian! You are travelling half-way across the world, by public transport mostly, and your trousers are still neatly pressed! How do you do it? Why do you do it? I can't work out if I'm im-pressed at your dedication to the iron or de-pressed at my lack of dedication. x |
| 19th May 2009 Tosh | Oil field photos - From: Azerbaijan Julian, I am enjoying reading your entries. However I am surprised you did not understand why the authorities wanted to delete your photos, especially since you have spent so much time in China. It obviously has nothing to do with reverse engineering. Someone in the governement must have read the the Loney Planet description and became very upset. In an effort to clean up their image and be able to effectively deny the "nightmare vison" of oil extraction charge there can be no photographic evidence. |
| 15th May 2009 anonymous | - From: Uzbekistan they get everywhere them Irish... even spotted on in our office!!! |
| 13th May 2009 Chris | Your mail has inspired me.... - From: Crossing Borders - Part 4: Turkmenistan to Azerbaijan to catch up on your blog - keeping this maintained including posting rather remarkable photos is one of the most impressive things about your journey. Getting hold of a functioning computer on internet can't have been easy in the 'Stans. Your mum told me that you'd reached the Black Sea. I spent a shockingly lazy school trip week on Golden Sands in Bulgaria (near Varga, one of your ports of call?) It won't be very much on your mind now but I've got some excellent (and mercifully short) material on Ecuador for your next exotic escapade.... Please don't "strip my link" (dire warning on the top of this box) Hurry up and get back, I've been been invited to dinner when you do... Chris |
| 13th May 2009 Ewan | Nice photos! - From: Turkmenistan Ashgabat looks hilarious! Looking forward to getting there! Hope spirits are still high and you're not running out of steam on the trip yet! |
| 7th May 2009 Clare | Camel riding - From: Gansu Just wondering in what kind of job it would be a useful skill to have? ;) |
| 7th May 2009 Clare | ..... - From: Uzbekistan Awesome pics! |
| 6th May 2009 Jen | tesco - From: Uzbekistan Tesco indeed... as you know us Irish are everywhere.. if even only in the form of a recylable bag :) |
| 5th May 2009 Emily | - From: Uzbekistan Wow. x |
| 1st May 2009 Martin | Grüße - From: Xinjiang Yay! Sehr, sehr, sehr cool hier von Dir zu lesen! Nächstes Mal komm ich mit! ;-) Gute Reise! |
| 30th April 2009 li laoshi | fantastic trip - From: Xinjiang Julian, you are having such a gorgeous trip! You should publish your stories somewhere! half a day work today! Catch up after the holiday! Continue your fun and great journey! |
| 28th April 2009 David Brooks | Onwards, our modern-day mechanically-borne Marco Polo! - From: Crossing Borders - Part 1: China to Kyrgyzstan Julian, Have enjoyed your travel tales so far. Amazing that once you get off the well-travelled pathways, the world quickly reverts to being a place full of potholes and flat tires -- and reassuring. A great book to read sometime is Eastern Approaches by Fitzroy Maclean, a traveller in Central Asia and an amazing person in the 1930's and 40's. Onwards! Enjoy the moments under the sun and the stars ... as you will be under florescent lighting for long enough in the years to come! DGB |
| 27th April 2009 Chris Atkinson | Not very bright - From: Xinjiang Not you, me cos I read your blog from top to bottom so it was all the wrong way round. Your mum has just given your blog address so I've had a lot of catching up to do. Nice photos (only the recent ones work mind you). Who r u travelling with? Hitching? Still using your Chinese? Will log in regularly! Chris |
| 27th April 2009 Morten | Amazing... - From: Crossing Borders - Part 1: China to Kyrgyzstan ...simply amazing, ENJOY =) |
| 27th April 2009 May | It's amazing - From: Crossing Borders - Part 1: China to Kyrgyzstan Wow..... It looks amazing... It's so cool... Enjoy your journey! Take care... |
| 27th April 2009 Sha | - From: Xinjiang ïs‰ |
| 24th April 2009 Manhua | Amazing!!!! - From: Journey to the West I am going to become your fan to read all your advantures in the well-organized office where I try my best to keep my freedom and wild ambition of advantures! |
| 24th April 2009 Angus Gore-Andrews | JieAn Jia You - From: Xinjiang Julian, Looks like it's shaping up to be an amazing journey. Will be following your travels from my grotty work cubicle in HK and sighing enviously. Enjoy yourself GT and Yoko sends her love. Here's hoping you get your own travel show on Discovery Travel & Living...take care, Angus |
| 23rd April 2009 Jessica | :) - From: Journey to the West Hi Julian, Sounds like a fantastic trip, lucky lucky you!! Enjoy!! Jessica |
| 23rd April 2009 Claire | Good luck - From: Journey to the West Good luck! Very good news that you'll be back in the West (and hopefully in London??) in 80 days or so... I'm very jealouse of your travels. Claire |
| 20th April 2009 YZ | Roles reversed - From: Journey to the West Hey Zhu lian! now almost exactly 3 years later, it's time for ME to be at work reading about YOUR intrepid travels! :) say hi to zhou jie lun and pan wei bo if you happen to bump into them on the silk road ;) love yzxx |
| 20th April 2009 SB | Hello! - From: Gansu Hi J, good luck with your trip. You haven't posted anything for 5 days, so I guess you are negotiating with the border patrol :) Was in Dunhuang last autumn and refused to pay 200 RMB to step on to the desert. Only the chinese would charge you for something like that!!! S |
| 20th April 2009 Chris | I tell you what.... - From: Gansu Gansu is a funny shape. After years of pondering, I have susbequently discovered that its shape came from the need to have the Silk Road under one administration. It's still a funny shape though. |
| 16th April 2009 Jen | strange shape?! - From: Gansu ...Gansu province... it's just Italy backwards :) Sounds like you're having a fab time.. thanks for the updates.. and maybe see you when you do get to the real backwards Gansu! :) |
| 14th April 2009 Emily | Jealousy is very unattractive but I can't help it - From: Gansu Howdy pardner, I'm very jealous that you've been to Dunhuang. You're bringing Dr L's teachings back to me, though I hope that the next leg doesn't involve bastinado nastiness or courtesan-fox fairies. Lovely writing, can't wait for more. Em x |
| 14th April 2009 Ewan | - From: Journey to the West Good luck man - don't forget to leave those practical 'wish I'd known this before' kind of tips for those following in hot pursuit! |
| 12th April 2009 Bob Carlsen | Good luck! - From: Journey to the West I have dreamed of taking the Silk Road from Europe to China (or vice versa), so when I came across your blog, and at the very beginning of your adventure, I had to subscribe. I, along with my Mom, sister, and son, will be in Xian at the end of May, but will only do the first part of the Silk Road to Lanzhou, with a side trip to the Tibetan monastary of Labrang (in Xiahe). I don't know if you will be making this side trip, but if you try, please let me know if there are any travel restrictions remaining. Again, I look forward to reading your daily experiences. |
