| 27th July 2009 Aaron | Enlightenment - From: Tam Wua Forest Monastery I'm moved by your stories of the wind chimes. It sounds so powerful to be alone with your thoughts in meditation. Also, how do maggots taste? ewwww :) (like how i switched moods from inspired to grossed out just like that?) Be free, spirit. |

| 9th July 2009 ˇVera Niederberger | - From: Hey Nik Hoe is het? Met mij is alles goed. Hoorde van me moeder van je site. Erg indrukwekkend en inspirerend. Mooi en duidelijk geschreven. Bovendien hoorde ik dat je binnenkort in nederland bent. Als je eens in sittard bent en een plekje vrij hebt, ben je natuurlijk van harte welkom en kunnen we samen iets gaan drinken. Ik wens je heel veel succes met je reis en hoop dat je mooie herinneringen meeneemt. Groetjes Vera |

Ennuh, je kunt beter een keer te diep in het glaasje kijken, dan te diep in de zee! Veel liefs, Elsje |
| 2nd July 2009 TinNiE | - From: Route 1095 to Pai beautiful entry Nik =) ... and i love that Michael Jackson song you chose. TC! |
| 1st July 2009 Amar | Delicious - From: Route 1095 to Pai what a great weekend??? it sounds like it was so relaxing, a small town, friendly people, river, and two friends............... i need a break soon. P.S. i am so hungry right now, pancakes, banana, pasta, rice, fruit...etc. you really made me hungry. i guess i am gonna take my lunch break right now. AZ |
| 1st July 2009 One Love | Your Big heart - From: Route 1095 to Pai Hi Nikki, I love the story about the kid and the mom. My favorite stories were also when I was able to connect to the locals after I spending a lot of time trying to break through the barrier where they are just trying to take your money. I remember making it a point to reject buying things from parents who throw their kids in your face (there was this one kid in Thailand who would run around holding my hands and fake-crying while his parents watched behind us). But afterwards I would feel bad, and find another local, one that wasn't trying to sell me anything, and make a donation or buy something. And on those special occasions, they'd invite me to their house and I could be their guests and it was really really a great experience! You think 4$ is cheap for a room, you should try being hosted, for free and you get food and to hang out with the family hehe. Of course in the end, I was so appreciative, I'd make a donation larger than 4$ so nevermind. -Aaron |
| 1st July 2009 Oliva | Lieve Nikki, - From: Route 1095 to Pai Wat leuk weer wat van je te horen, en fijn dat we even mogen 'meereizen'. Geniet van al je ervaringen, want voor je het weet zit je weer aan de studie... We zien elkaar sowieso in augustus geloof ik, en hopelijk ook wat vaker gedurende je Amsterdamtijd! Heel veel liefs en groetjes van ons allemaal. |

| 17th June 2009 Amar | another 180 degree change - From: Hospitals in Developing Countries... wo0o0o0w, you are so into the 180 turn around, last week having a great time, swimming and diving, and BOOM, you go to the hospital and you were in pain........... but, i am glad to hear you are feeling better, and i am really sorry to hear that you had to go through all that, but its another interesting adventure you experienced........ OH, what happen to quote of the week......... :( |
| 17th June 2009 Aaron Roan | Feel better! - From: Hospitals in Developing Countries... Aww nikki, I hope you are doing okay now. I got my Advanced Water Diver certification the last trip I went and I know what its like to do a deep dive for the first time. What optional dives did you take (night, wreck, etc.)? Your trip sounds really amazing and the best part of this update was it really exposed how un-third world, third world hospitals are. I tell people all the time its not so bad there but they get freaked out thinking if you get a cut there, you will die cuz of bad health care. One love, -Aaron |
| 17th June 2009 Emil | - From: Hospitals in Developing Countries... hmm .. so I really did have to jump in my intercontinental Jetta and come rescue you. How are you feeling now? Pictures of the hospital would have been awesome.. maybe once you regain your balance you can go back and to a post-disease report |

Je weet ze wel uit te zoeken, lekkere vakantiebestemming is dat... Dikke kus, ik bel jullie zodra onze telefoonlijn het weer doet... Daan.
