| 30th March 2008 peter42y | awesome pictures - From: Changing seasons, currency confusion and a moment of connection With all the (not requested) advice I forgot to say the pictures in your blog are awesome. I loved the autumn one..., the shades of brown are absolutely amazing. I am going to use it in my MSN if you do not mind. I also enjoyed the winter wonderland picture. You really have that something special to take beautifull pics ( Sorry for my english , I am portuguese) |
| 30th March 2008 peter42y | keep yourself save. - From: Changing seasons, currency confusion and a moment of connection Please be carefull . Believe it or not I kee telling my friends they should avoid far off countries . I told them about many examples of britts that were reckless and paid the ultimate price . I remember a 50 year old tourist that went to travel to south america and was kidnapped in ecuador. Recently in Goa 2 tourists were raped and one of them Killed ( A gorgeous girl called Scarlett Keeling ). Try to play safe. I know my comment might not be quite welcomed but i really feel what i say.There is a world wide conspiracy to hide such cases from the public. The travel Industry and Governments hide such information from the public since tourism is a source of income. I clearly remember the case of the 50 year british nurse that went alone to travel throughout south america and dissapeared in Los Banos, in Ecuador but I cant find the story in google.The scarlett Keeling Case is still easy to find. After MUCH reasearch I was able to find her case. She is called Jenny Pope and dissapeared in Ecuador . Be carefull please. I am portuguese and portuguese are known to be friendly towards tourists. Some do care about other ppl. |

| 2nd October 2007 Christabelle | Escape from the crazy Priest! - From: My big fat Greek holiday What a great (and somewhat tormenting!) story! I wish I'd known you'd be in Thessaloniki, as one of my dearest and most treasured soul sisters lives in Thessaloniki! She would have lurved to have 'napped you from the wicked priest and shown you her city!

| 28th September 2007 Mandie | Romanian update - From: Romania...its just so random Hey Sarah! Yes, Tegan (previously known as Sarah) the pup was kidnapped - this American volunteer took her into her room and wouldn't let her out and begged Andrea (the Romanian volunteer who was going to take her) to let her take her back to America for a "better life"(even showing her photos of her mansion and everything!)...poor Andrea didn't want to cause a fuss so agreed to it under duress - I really felt sorry for her. Will say BUNA to everyone for you! We miss you too! Am now the only volunteer left so its rather quiet now :-( Thanks for helping out on the postcard thing for the newsletter! Cheers, M x |
| 28th September 2007 Mandie | Thongs...(flipflops, jandels etc) - From: Hungarian Hangovers Yep baby, am buying me a pair as soon as I am home - they are awesomely comfy! Then I will be able to call myself an Aussie :-) |
| 28th September 2007 Mandie | Counting my blessings - From: Romania...its just so random I know! Its the most frustrating thing when you cant speak the language (am currently trying to finish my Greek blog which is where I really felt it really badly as no-one I was with spoke English fluently!) but good motivation to learn their language...but as soon as you start to learn a language you realise just how many words there are - arghh!!! |
| 28th September 2007 Mandie | Apparently too harsh on Budapest - From: Hungarian Hangovers So...I have been "called" on my comments about Budapest - too harsh perhaps? Even Jen thought so...Yes, Budapest is one of the Eastern European cities that has quite a modern tram line installed (although cant say much for the metro...its almost like a trip into the twilight zone) and lots of grand palaces etc. I will admit (as I did in my blog) that any sightseeing I did WAS under duress (the hangovers hurt), which may have distorted my opinion. I don't know...I'll get back to you as am now jetting back up to Budapest for a weekend next week. |
| 25th September 2007 Belinda | sexy thongs - From: Hungarian Hangovers I can't believe you have never worn thongs!!! do you feel like you've been missing out, will you be wearing them back in Brissie when you go home? hahaha too funny, you can't call yourself an aussie :) |
| 25th September 2007 Belinda | I feel your pain.... - From: Romania...its just so random I know what it's like too, sometimes just wanting to watch a DVD or speak to someone in english, the little things huh. have fun x |
| 24th September 2007 Sarah | I miss Romania so much - From: Romania...its just so random Oh my god I really want to see the newly decorated girls house so much, they look so delighted in the photo. Life is so much simpler in Romania and so bizzare but so fun. What happened to Tegan? Kidnapped by an American?! I miss all the kids and everyone, send them my best wishes. Sarah xxx PS will sort out the postcard thing soon, will have to think of some way to properly describe the experience! |
| 22nd September 2007 Pet | - From: Hungarian Hangovers I found it hard to relax in the city and it was fairly dirty and old in a not-as-charming-as-other-Eastern-European-cities kind of way. ... May be but its much more interesting then the others, for sure |
| 21st September 2007 Kal | Hey you !! - From: Hungarian Hangovers Hey babe !! So glad to hear your having the most fun, only 11 more days until Morocco for me, cant wait, keep me informed of your travels and have a ball !! lots & lots of luv, kal xxxx |
