| 12th August 2009 Lafayette Balch | camera is long gone - From: no bucharest for the wicked If I had the camera, it'd be no problem. I lost it on the dance floor of the club we went to. When I asked around, no one had seen it... and the bartenders chuckled when I asked if it got returned. We'll see if some generous person mails it back to me... |
| 11th August 2009 Millie | no way! - From: no bucharest for the wicked That is a massive bummer! Did it erase your memory card? Even if it did, I had a girl on my India trip who had that happen and someone she knew from home magically got her pictures back. I can look into that, electronically of course since tomorrow marks the beginning of my adventure. : ) |
| 9th August 2009 Lafayette Balch | - From: A crow named Atia, with its "zaws" and "grebs" and a bout with the precursory Oh, I know it Linda. I've been putting down several litres of water a day since. |
| 9th August 2009 Lafayette Balch | - From: A crow named Atia, with its "zaws" and "grebs" and a bout with the precursory Sean, I think I'll be okay. The other travellers I've met that have just come from there or are heading there have instilled much confidence in me. And when all else fails.... I'm British for a few days. Just got to carry a torch with me in darkness, wipe me mouth with a serviette and throw that bloke in a rubbish bin. It'll be wicked. |
| 9th August 2009 Linda | dehidration - From: A crow named Atia, with its "zaws" and "grebs" and a bout with the precursory Just figured I'd remind you that when you are lacking water in your system, you really shouldn't drink spirits until you retain a sufficient amount of water. Be safe |
| 8th August 2009 Sean | - From: A crow named Atia, with its "zaws" and "grebs" and a bout with the precursory Holy shit... Serbia??? Dude, be careful. I was reading a national geographic about that place. Lots of bad history, including the ethnic cleansing of Kosovo. Last year Kosovo declared it's independence and the Serbs no likey. I even read that in some regions they have French peacekeepers posted up everywhere. The neighborhoods they were patrolling would put the projects to shame. Anyway, I'm sure you've done some research. There's a heavily guarded war crimes court in Belgrade, check it out for me. My gawd that was a long comment. |

| 4th August 2009 Hannah Hayes | si intende per lasciare dietro di me. - From: Wrede between the lines Caro ragazzo, perché si deve vedere tutto prima di me? Piano di assulted per dettagli su cosa vedere e da fare. Mi manchi e mi rattrista che non mi sono di trascorrere del tempo con lei questa estate! Speriamo che si testa in giů a Portland a un po di tempo quando si uscire da tutti i tuoi viaggi incredibili. E non potete scrivere un libro. Sarebbe halarious. |
| 4th August 2009 Lafayette Balch | - From: Wrede between the lines Ah, but dear Thomas.... the places in of themselves are merely vessels for the experience. The people and their interaction with their surroundings are the real story. /end hack writing.... (or maybe just the beginning of hack writing) :):):):):):) |
| 3rd August 2009 Thomas Plastino Martin | - From: Wrede between the lines With the places you've gone, one would think you could write a book. Glad you're having fun, and hope that your head feels better! |
| 2nd August 2009 Anna | - From: Wrede between the lines Feel better my friend and don 't get the swine flu! They won't allow you back! |
| 10th December 2008 Lafayette Balch | - From: A Statistical Recap! A visit to Toronto! They were a classy bunch, yes? |
| 10th December 2008 Ariana | Gotta love Greyhound... - From: A Statistical Recap! A visit to Toronto! I flew to St. Louis then took the Greyhound to Springfield for my grandfather's funeral. Your description of the experience was EXACTLY like mine. I was travelling alone too, so I was pretty much scared shitless the entire trip... |
| 6th December 2008 Lafayette Balch | - From: E-Pac, E-At, N-Med, W-At -> E-Pac Aer Lingus was the Air Carrier I had the Budapest airport. They're an Irish budget airline. Every extra bag was $22. Wonderful! |
| 6th December 2008 Sean | aer lingus - From: E-Pac, E-At, N-Med, W-At -> E-Pac concerning the suspicious package picture... was that in the azures?? i'm almost positive that i slept (the best i could) there for many a hour to and from africa. |
| 6th December 2008 Lafayette Balch | - From: A Statistical Recap! A visit to Toronto! It really was a looong time before the next bus came to pick me up. And girl... I put my tongue wherever I want! |
| 6th December 2008 Hannah hayes | Keep your tounge to yourself! - From: A Statistical Recap! A visit to Toronto! Andrew! How many times have I told you to not lick Austrailians? |
| 28th November 2008 Maddy | you would - From: Franks and Bohns you would go to a board game convention. :) |
| 28th November 2008 Maddy | how nice - From: azerty is now qwertz on the keyboard. i'm catching up on all your entries, and this one is my favorite so far. it just sounds so story-like with all the nice foreigners and unexpected adventures. i'm so jealous! |
| 25th November 2008 Lafayette Balch | - From: You can call me a Harlem Globetrotter Don't sweat it. It was a two day window. I managed to blow that 3 month time period on your last go around, yanno? Seattle's unfortunately not next though. Will you be gracing the left coast through early December? |
| 25th November 2008 Vanessa | - From: You can call me a Harlem Globetrotter I cant believe i missed you. I came to Seattle from NY on the 21st. Are you coming back here next? If so, please see me. I'd love to hang out. And hear what you think of the world. Big hugs, and lots of love! |
| 23rd November 2008 Lafayette Balch | Sam - From: You can call me a Harlem Globetrotter I had a street vended hot dog on day one. It was the style of the time. I'll do Little Italy tomorrow. Today was all about Hells Kitchen. |
| 23rd November 2008 Lafayette Balch | Megan - From: You can call me a Harlem Globetrotter That would explain the emptiness of that studio then. Thank you. |
| 23rd November 2008 Sam | I'll punch you in the face... - From: You can call me a Harlem Globetrotter ...if you come back from New York not having had at least one street-vended Hot Dog and a pretzel. Seriously...if you haven't had one yet, get out there son! Sure, they are of suspect origin, but once you've had them, you will crave them for the rest of your natural life. Also, check out Little Italy. I got chills knowing that I was walking down the same streets that were filled with so much American Gangster blood...but that was me. Enjoy your trip to the Big Apple! |
| 23rd November 2008 Megan | - From: You can call me a Harlem Globetrotter TRL had it's last show I believe last week. |
| 20th November 2008 Lafayette Balch | Dear Chessie - From: Minus the Bear Katie should be back in Seattle right now! She flew back yesterday morning. Call her and she may appear before your very eyes! |
| 18th November 2008 Dad | Here's looking at you! - From: Minus the Bear It will be good to see you again. I am looking forward to getting the in person versions and the play by plays! I love the facial and body gestures that go along with the rich embellishments of the stories. |
| 18th November 2008 Chester | Friends' - From: Minus the Bear Thanksgiving wasn't the same without you and your bounty of board games. I'm glad to hear you're getting "those" kind of experiences you were looking for... as bland and broad as that sounds. And I'm excited to visit you in Portland, and yes, I know I'm a bad person for not seeing you in Steilacoom. Tell, Katie I said, "Hello," and "Get yer arse back here," because I have no idea how to contact her. |
| 17th November 2008 Anna Banana | YAY! - From: Minus the Bear Come home and time to move to PORTLAND!!! |

| 13th November 2008 Isabel | Dude! - From: If I was a turtle, I'd be here to spawn. Is that a real freakin' gypsy? That's awesome, I thought they were just a bizarre half-truth. My grandfather was a Hungarian gypsy. =) Good luck on your next adventure to the Ukraine! Something tells me you'll need it . . . Much Love, Isabel |

| 30th October 2008 Sean | WHOA - From: Ich möchte eins fahrkarten, bitte. justine is an election wiz. i have neglected this blog tooo long sir! if another german shakes there head at you about voting, just rub it in their faces that they elected hitler! or something... i don't even know if that's how he came to power but something along those lines. come to think about it... maybe you shouldn't but maybe you should!! actually, just mumble hitler under your voice as you turn to walk away from them. yes, that shall do. |
| 30th October 2008 Lafayette Balch | - From: Franks and Bohns I should have given the bottle to you, instead of my Essen hosts. You'd have appreciated it more. |
| 30th October 2008 Sam | Most Awesome!!! - From: Franks and Bohns The Agri-Cola almost made me spit all over the computer screen! You are definitely going to have to fill me in on more of the glory that is Essen. Someday I'm going to have to check it out...that shot of New World: A Carcassonne Game being played on the floor...AMAZING! |
| 30th October 2008 Hannah Banana | Was? - From: Franks and Bohns Ich wusste nicht, dass Sie gerne Dune! Ich war besessen von der Serie in der Mitte der Schule. noch immer wunderbar und ich kann nicht warten, um zu sehen, die Sie im Dezember! |
| 29th October 2008 Justine | - From: Ich möchte eins fahrkarten, bitte. p.s. If anyone gives you any grief about not voting in the upcoming election, tell them that your vote does not matter an ounce because it's the electoral college that elects the next president. And the electoral college is made up by states by the number of house of reps and number of senate members each state has. How is the number house of reps decided (since in the Senate it's all 2 members)? By the national census done every 10 years. So, if your parents decided back in 2000 that you exist and put it on their census form, then your duties as a citizen are fulfilled. Just because a candidate has the popular vote of the general population doesn't mean that they win the election. This has happened in 3 elections so far. |
| 29th October 2008 Justine Kondrat | - From: Ich möchte eins fahrkarten, bitte. Totally impressed with your German considering that you haven't been there very long! (I took 4 years in hs) |
| 25th October 2008 Lafayette Balch | - From: Ich möchte eins fahrkarten, bitte. Sam.... Essen rules. Full story when I reach Frankfurt. |
| 25th October 2008 Lafayette Balch | - From: azerty is now qwertz on the keyboard. Thanks Ariana! I was a fan of the fellow myself. |
| 25th October 2008 Lafayette Balch | - From: Ich möchte eins fahrkarten, bitte. Rob sir, you are too generous with your praise. I thank ye kindly. |
