There With You!
Looking at this photo,for some reason I was immediately transported back in time to our days in Belize. I actually got certified there Scuba diving. And now I can feel the warm salty ocean spray against my face riding on this boat and then jumping in there with you guys into that very crystal clear aqua-marine sea and the abundant colorful fish and coral. How great, and all this from a photo. Like they say, "A picture is worth a thousand words!"

LOL!
Just started reading your adventures and already to made me laugh. I am Honduran myself and have done an all around the world long trip as well. You know my country more than myself, but now that I've explored the world, I have started discovering Honduras. I like how you traveled and had no fear of the bad publicity we have regarding security, which I believe is overrated. Blond kids? 3 reasons: yes Spanish presence but centuries ago, plus lack of nutrition (that's what experts say) and add the USA military presence.... Yes we've had a big military base near Comayagua area and rumor has it, the soldiers enjoy the region plenty! :-) Looking forward to reading the rest of your blog.

Insightful
Hello Sir,I am an Ex Student from NIT Rourkela .I Did my undergraduate studies here besides I am a local.This October I would be heading to Darmstadt to do my Masters there.I was actually searching for some seniors from NIT Rourkela who have gone on to do masters in Germany when I was directed to your blog.It was quite interesting to read that,your friend is one of the firsts to do her PhD at my Alma Mater. I liked your take on living in Rourkela and how peaceful and yet happening could be small towns like Rourkela.Regarding the cost of living and disparity of incomes ,you were spot on in your observations.Yes there are people who cannot afford a two meals a day and there are folks who would buy 1000$ worth laptop.

Hiking in Daisetsuzan
Hello. I will be going to Daisetsuzan at the end of August. I would like to camp and hike, but I don't think I will be there long enough to conquer the entire grand traverse. Is there a campground I could base myself out of, and then just do day hikes, or maybe an overnight hike as well? Thanks for the information.

Congratulations!
Hello, I just ran across your blog and wanted to let you know that I will be reading it in depth over the next few weeks. Congratulations on being brave enough to LIVE your dreams! My boyfriend and I had a similar, much shorter (8 months)adventure in Central and South America and plan to do something similar in Asia in the future. Your blog will surely serve as an inspiration to us.

Rock throwing
For all the noise the local Chinese made it is lucky they know better than throw rocks into the valley just to hear the loud noise they made splitting into pieces 'cos the valley will be filled up considering the Chinese population!! Also I thought you complained so much about noise so why create it when you can finally have silence?

Darjeeling 782 engine photo's on flickr
Dear Sir, I have taken a good look through your Darjeeling photo's on flickr and in particular the ones taken in March this year of engine number 782 'Mountaineer'. I am currently constructing a large scale model of this engine along with another two engines from this railway. My question is, would it be possible to get access to these photo's in order to use for detail? I have been reading through your blog and wish I had done the trip many years ago. I do hope you can help and you have been very lucky to have been able to see the engines in the flesh. Kindest regards, Steve
