| 7th November 2007 Rachel and Philippe | Lesson in male attention - From: Peace in Pakistan So, we're sitting in Bangkok, caffeinated and taking some time this morning to update the blog and read your comments (love them, by the way). Philippe is just now figuring out what I've written, thanks to your responses. 'what did you say about my truck? why is everyone asking about sex?' Hilarious! Thanks again to all of you for reading and commenting! |
| 7th November 2007 Rachel and Philippe | what is a 2005 New York purse? - From: Peace in Pakistan so first, you have to understand where we were.... in the middle of this beautiful place - a lake at the foot of some ginormous mountains (Mustag Ata and Kongur, for those of you with a map) - this remote place that was part western china, part tajikistan, and part kyrgyzstan. This older, unkempt woman came out of her yurt to sell us anything she could find. The purse was, in fact, just that, a purse. Maybe big enough to hold sunglasses and lipstick. It was covered in glitter-writing that read, you guessed it '2005 New York.' Who knows where it came from, but it was the kind of thing you could have bought in Times Square (3 years ago, that is). |
| 17th October 2007 Maj | - From: Gilgit and Rakaposhi Base Camp Amazing Pictures, I've been to these mountains once, long ago. Now seeing you guys having a great time makes me sad and jealous. Keep it up. Safe |

| 16th October 2007 dj | where babies come from - From: Peace in Pakistan What a relief that someone has had the talk with you about where babies come from. It is always so hard to know what you kids are ready to hear. What is a 2005 New York purse? Is that a sex thing too? |

| 8th October 2007 austin | Intestines - From: Kashgar So we tried to explain to Sophie and Patrick about intestines in a little more detail.....it ain't easy to get a 6 and a 3 year old to believe that you have 20 m of tubing next to your stomach. |
