Berlin, my love!
Dear Maria, I should really support your love life and am seriously thinking how to do it to make you happy and join the two lovers. Your blogs are again capturing and intruiging, food for the brain again. Like French Champagne, you want more after you taste it!. I am re-living this wonderful time in Germany and with the most precious people in my life. Thank-you for putting my fondest memories in such beautiful words...Mum

My favorite memories of Munich are from the beer gardens. The wheat beers are almost like a meal all by themselves. You brought back pleasent memories.

Beautiful
Hey Maria! What a beautiful post, so true. I learnt a new word this week: palimpsest. Something that shows its history. We are all that, so are the places around us. Some more than others, of course!

Being an avid follower of the blogs on this site, it really is hard to pick a favourite article for the contest. However, I'd higly recommend the writings of 'Me in the Monsoons', particularly the latest blog entitled 'Something never to forget' diary=186339 The basis of her observations of the beggar man are universal and can be seen not only in India, but in our very own backyards.. We are all capable of giving and receiving love, of stretching out an open hand to those in need, so why does it remain so scarce? Love is free, powerful, uplifting; yet it seems to have become a conditional commodity based on a "give and take" rationale. Not only are Maria's blogs informative and insightful, they also subconsiously force you to think outside the square and have truly changed my perceptions of the world, its people and places for the better. Her posts also provide a welcome relief from mediocratic work and feed my inner travel bug... A must have in any "Best of" collection..

To be able to step outside your own personal bias and comforts provides the most honest picture for those of us that are stuck in the more mundane. Mazz has a beautiful way of doing so.

The goosebumps and tears well when reading:Something to never forget. Funny how words on a screen can effect many of us all across the world.

I may be a bricky from narre-warren but I got culture and i reckon you're a bit of alright. All this travelling and stuff must open your eyes to a lot of things...maybe we could meet at South Lands or something when you get back???

This Gordito guy sounds amazing, just like a bloke i know from ringwood..he's amazing.
23rd January 2008

you are a prinzessa
hi, my name is gordito and i have also travelled to cuba in the past, but more importantly, i think you are a prinzessa (spanish for princess) and i am wondering whether you would go out on a date with me??? I am from ringwood.

I tend to agree.....excellent. xox

Interesting.
Illuminating. Cuba is a place I want to visit very much and the contradictions make me ever more curious. Beautiful yet harsh. A country that is free whose people who are restrained. It's an odd concept, bordering on doublethink. Your words about Renee are the best, I think. Touching stuff. Thanks for letting us see into your life.

hey
your last blog....very intense and very beautifully written. You appealed to the readers to have the courage to give him a helping hand. Did you do it? just curious. And even if you didnt its okay cause I wouldnt have had the courage to do it and I feel sick of myself when I say that. I am sure that India must have been an awesome experience for you and I am sure that it has left you quite moved. I hope that India has now given you a better understanding about yourself and I am sure that so many things that were extremely important to you before visiting India have become less important. I am very happy that you are one of the very few persons who have been able to appreciate India in the way it should be and I hope that this India experience has given you wisdom, knowledge and a sense of well being. Bye and best of luck in your future travels.
