| 27th June 2009 naila | i dont have a comment title. - From: Quirks from the road... hi. this blog was really amusing. especially the part about brits and mexican food. haha. i remember eating "nachos" in london, which weren't really nachos at all, but tortilla chips sprinkled (sprinkled= 1-2tbsp) with some cheese, a drizzle of salsa, and like 2 jalapenos on top. |

| 26th May 2009 Olivia | lucky - From: Super Sweet Awesome Rad Well, the title also fits because everything you get to do is pretty super, sweet, awesome, and rad. Basically you get to do all the exciting wonderful incredible things I could imagine doing, several days in a row. Thats awesome. PS I graduated and have been working camp for a week now. Still no sign of Fall work... |

| 25th May 2009 Johanna | Thanks for sharing! - From: Super Sweet Awesome Rad Hi, my name is Johanna; I am from Cali but currently live in miami and read your blog tonight--thanx so much for the insight!! Not sure you will get this or be able to respond but I am leaving in a week for a month study in Kathmandu and wondered if you had any MUST DOs you could recommend since i feel totally clueless and am going by myself! I am excited after reading about your adventures and want to have some of my own on the weekends or over my last free week there. Will the monsoons kill my explorations? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated but either/or enjoy the rest of your travels. Take care and thank you, Johanna |

| 10th May 2009 Nonnie | Safety First! - From: JULUS! Damn you. I hope you remembered to wear your seat belts in the jeep. Uncle Pat says most people would enjoy your trip - but that I'm antisocial. I'm going to really enjoy the pictures and stories. |
| 7th May 2009 Caroline | Ying and Yang - From: JULUS! Damn you. Sounds like you are each in good company. Moira warning Jake away from mama monkeys and Jake warning Moira away from rioting in foregin lands. Sheez! Oh and that monk just recognized Jake's purity! |

| 3rd May 2009 Nonnie | ECH! - From: Oh India... how i love you... and hate you. Tell me one more time what's wrong with a hike in the Highlands, the green hills of Ireland, the Lake Country of England, a trip to Alaska......I can't wait to hear Jake's version of these stories. Love you. |
| 2nd May 2009 Amy | I heart India - From: Oh India... how i love you... and hate you. Sounds like the motherland gave you her usual welcome home. I am SO JEALOUS. What I would give to take a bucket shower, drink some chai, and eat some style cream and onion chips...it's so refreshing to hear that India is just as we left her, imperfections and all. Soak it up while it lasts =) |
| 1st May 2009 erica | beautiful india - From: Oh India... how i love you... and hate you. ahhhh....india...sounds like a miraculous time. even all of the horrors of your trip. wish i was there with you! eat some momos for me! i remember having the best momos ever in darjeeling. keep on having fun! (and when all else fails, just fall asleep like you been doing.) misss you |
| 1st May 2009 Briananananananna | wonderful! - From: Oh India... how i love you... and hate you. i laughed so hard when i read about the mints and the cough drops. that's not even sneaky!! they don't blend in with rupees (i assume...). and the roaches.. omg! side note: moira, i just read two books that take place in india (the god of small things and white tiger) and it's so cool to me that you're there right now. k, have fun! drink chai for me! |
| 1st May 2009 naila | - From: Oh India... how i love you... and hate you. hmmm. i honestly dont know if i could handle the bugs and the bucket showers. especially the bugs. luckily you had plenty of practice with me (and your india roommates) making you get rid of them. hahaha. |
| 26th April 2009 Nonnie | Yum! - From: Muslims are Good Cooks. Jacob Paul, you are NEVER allowed to complain about Tom's choice of food at Jasmine. (Don't be fooled by Max's e-mail I think he's being forced to write nice things - I heard he's in jail for bringing interesting presents to Grandma and The Beast!). |
| 25th April 2009 ainsley | i love your life - From: Wow.... things are interesting.... seriously mo you've got the coolest life and stories, i'm wicked envious. and i'll be in boston for awhile so yes, we will be reunited! |
| 25th April 2009 Jake | - From: Muslims are Good Cooks. pedestrian bridge huh? Sweet. EMPORIUMS! |
| 24th April 2009 naila | stinky tofu - From: Muslims are Good Cooks. i saw one of those fermented tofu restaurants on andrew zimmern. he pretty much talked the whole entire time about how nasty and disgusting and stinky it was! |
| 24th April 2009 Caroline | Wow! - From: Muslims are Good Cooks. Hope you took some cortaid for those bug bites! Read the warrior excerpt of your blog aloud at the office. The Boss says, ha ha, "oh yeah, we'll I'm going to Omaha, Nebraska to see the nation's larget pedestrian bridge" Take that! |
| 24th April 2009 erica Diamant | emporiums - From: Muslims are Good Cooks. EMPORIUMS! im singing singing singing this to notorius....its stuck in my head now and is great! you guys are genius'. i am so jealous of all this great sounding food...yay for going to india soon!!! |
| 24th April 2009 Evelyn | - From: Muslims are Good Cooks. I do love these little novels that you write :) They make me able to picture everything, which is so great! |
| 20th April 2009 Caroline | Max's Reply - From: Wow.... things are interesting.... I have developed mucho respect for La Senora (Dona Carolina) her estancia is vast and the hunting good. She has assigned me sleeping quarters grander than that of the rest of her litter. Obviously she is more intelligent than those of her kind. She has, after all, ascertained my true identity. |
| 19th April 2009 Evelyn | - From: Wow.... things are interesting.... I can't believe the bank did that!? I hope your bank luck improves... And also, not a boring post. I loved the descriptions of the people that you're meeting! |
| 19th April 2009 naila | - From: Wow.... things are interesting.... gossip girl in china?! awesome! scorpions on a stick that are still moving? why didn't jake try one? i thought he wanted to eat crazy food like that?! |
| 17th April 2009 Melissa | - From: The Great Wall love the stories! have FUN! I like hearing about the food - my dream job would be that guy on the travel channel. Did Jake get sick from the orange/kiwi on a stick? HAVE FUN (no more mouth-puking, that's gross) :) |
| 17th April 2009 naila | miscellaneous chicken parts. - From: The Great Wall good work on eating a chicken head. or rather, knowingly eating a chicken head. theyve probably secretly fed us those in khi and said they were potatoes or something. |
| 16th April 2009 erica | chicken head - From: The Great Wall i LOVE that you ate chicken head (don't tell that it was just a little...still counts). keep having fun! don't worry, you'll find a way to tibet. |
| 16th April 2009 Leeny Mae | - From: Bicycles in Beijing! I'm glad you both made it safely. Enjoy every minute of your travels and be safe. A back alley in Shanghai -- didn't Owen Wilson & Jackie Chan make a movie about that??? |
| 16th April 2009 Jakes Uncle Patrick | Chengdu - Nee How! - From: The Great Wall Hey! Uncle P here, I was in Bejing and Chengdu 3 yrs ago, had a great time. I have a very good friend who is an english professor at a university in Chengdu if you find yourself needing assistance, let me know and I will hook you up. Just got back from Kenya 3 weeks ago, another great trip, wish we had talked before you left! Oh well, more to catch up on when you get back. Be safe, and don't drink the water! |
| 15th April 2009 TR | - From: Bicycles in Beijing! What would be the fun if you took a bus tour which took you straight to the great wall, most likely the best part, then to Tianamen square, to the forbidden city with lunch provided in between at a nice restaurant and back in time for a wonderful Italian buffett????? Which is probably something I would have done, so that I could visit Shanghai and Xian over the remaining 4 days and be back in time for work Monday morning!! Makes me wonder which would be a better idea?? What do you think? |
| 15th April 2009 Evelyn | - From: The Great Wall I can't wait to see pictures! |
| 15th April 2009 Br | I think I need to go somewhere like China.... - From: The Great Wall Traveling for three months is sure to cure a broken heart, right?! I am all subscribed. And I can't wait to hear more! |

I'm quite enjoying waking up to your emails and blogs! the dark alley story is pretty funny and reminds me of some dark alley story you told me about india! ha! and the candy on a stick? hahaha. i bet i would have wanted to try that also and proceeded to take a huge bite..but kiwi and orange doesnt sound like the best mix. you should do one of these a day. they're fun. |
