| 20th October 2008 Weiners | How Great you both look - From: Lithuania . . . and before! HI Kids, You look very happy . Whats not to be? Your comments and pixz are great. We are enjoying your travelog very much. How fortunate you are to be doing this trip. And to think we went to Mexico City! Auntie & Uncle |
| 17th October 2008 Brian | Constitution - From: Lithuania . . . and before! That constitution is awesome! |
| 16th October 2008 Dee | Eric, the beard looks good.... - From: Lithuania . . . and before! Well, it's nice to know you've made it through to recognizable terrain. &, no mud to push the bus through. (Pardon my grammar.) I'm sure the ballet was fabulous. It looks as though the two of you are drinking (beer) your way through eastern Europe. The zeppelen (?) looked interesting. As Ned says, it'll be interesting to hear the tales behind the pix. Later, Mom |
| 14th October 2008 Ned | Comrades - From: Lithuania . . . and before! With his hat, sunglasses, and new full beard, Eric could pass as a young Fidel. We have noticed a common thread throughout all the pictures on the blog, grog and blending in with the locals. Wonder if Santa Cruz is going to seem boring? Looking forward to seeing all the pictures that could not be downloaded due to interface incompatibility, and hearing all the stories that could not pass the internet censors in various countries. |
| 4th October 2008 Maximus | Certain Thoughts... - From: Walking to Vietnam Soooooooo jealous... Work SUCKS!!!!! |
| 27th September 2008 Ned | Hong Kong - From: A little change of plans All that time in the big city and not one picture? Clearly, you both had a great time in Hong Kong. Hope you bring pictures home, especially of the new territories. |
| 15th September 2008 Leah | way more impressive than walking to Nevada - From: Walking to Vietnam Woah. I would have cried. Nice work, guys. :) |
| 11th September 2008 Ned | The long trek - From: Walking to Vietnam The description of this long trek should be called the sky above, the mud below. Way to go. Liked the crazy-ass buss, reminds me of the trotros in Ghana. Service seems equivalent. |
| 6th September 2008 Leah | galvipenisometer - From: Flipping a bit Heh-heh. That stone pen is, uh, very nice. |
| 6th September 2008 Leah | backyard - From: The Elephants That Weren't Mr. Cohen's backyard looks like Africa and Southeast Asia! Incredible. |
| 31st August 2008 Ned | Taxi maffia - From: The Elephants That Weren't Is the taxi mafia at the airport similar to that in Accra, Ghana? |
| 31st August 2008 Ned | - From: The Elephants That Weren't Awesome! Without the foliage, the "elephant pond" looks like our backyard irrigation pond, sans leaches. Glad to see your scope of food is expanding. What is "lab". Really enjoying the vicarious voyage. |
| 27th August 2008 Ned | So an elephant was walking down the street, and - From: Flipping a bit First, Eric's smile belies the fact he is now 10000. Must be shangrala in Phnom Penh. As to the elephant obsession, for Amanda that is not new. She loved the circus from the time she first went at age 101, 2^2+1. |
| 27th August 2008 Brian | cookies - From: We're still here. Please tell me that plane has the ability to drop cookie bombs. |
| 27th August 2008 The Honeymooners | Too many English speaking tourists - From: War & atrocity tourism So, nope, pretty much every local we've met has had some English. There were a few places (shops mostly) that had signs or stickers saying that they spoke French. Some of the larger tourist venues would also offer tour guides that spoke Japanese. --E I would just like to point out that, as we speak only English with some high school French and Spanish thrown in, we would not be able to meet any locals that didn't have some English. That said, we have always been approached in English, not French, and we have been able to interact with many folks here. The big Spanish family who were on our fast boat to Phnom Penh spoke English to the guides as a common language.--A |
| 26th August 2008 Ned | Yum - From: War & atrocity tourism In an emergency you can roast and eat those cockroaches. |
| 26th August 2008 Ned | Wonderful travelogue - From: War & atrocity tourism The travelogue is wonderful, both personal and informative. That part of the world has certainly changed from my visit in 1965. Is French still the predominant Western language in Vietnam and Cambodia? |
| 20th August 2008 Ned | Where did the time go - From: Where did the time go? Eric looks great as a blond! All those sheep remind me of Amanda's 4-H sheep raising days. |
| 19th August 2008 Maximus | Doh! - From: We're still here. Imagine what it would of looked like if Eric puked after eating a bowl of glow worms! Mmmmm... Technicolor. |
| 19th August 2008 Leah | food - From: We're still here. Cookie planes, pancake rocks, giant pink donuts - New Zealand sounds very tasty, well, except for rabbit jello. Hope you're having an awesome time! :) |
| 13th August 2008 Ned | Amazing! - From: We're still here. What an adventure. You both look great. Have to try that rabbit jello. Ned |
| 11th August 2008 Brandon | Quite a sandwich - From: Tiritiri Matangi Hey Eric - looks like those Takahe would make quite the chicken sandwich - is that the source of your love of them? :) |
| 7th August 2008 Ned Cohen | Wow - From: Tiritiri Matangi Love those oversized chickens. Thank you for vicariously sharing your grand tour. |
