| 20th June 2009 Old Guy Jerry | The memories go on - From: Punters, Hookers and a Little of the Fiddle Hug, sorry to see the journey end but the stories have been great. As you, I will have them forever. |
| 19th June 2009 Tami | home - From: Punters, Hookers and a Little of the Fiddle We can't wait until you come home!! Josh and I are literally counting the days. Is it wrong that we've set up cots in your house and have a week's worth of clothes ready? |
| 19th June 2009 Karen | I scream, too! - From: When in Rome... or Croatia A town where the ice cream shops never close? Zadar, I'm on my way. |
| 14th June 2009 matt | wow - From: When in Rome... or Croatia Whether it's the early morning Ozujsko or half-a-year's practice, this entry is beautifully written! |
| 8th June 2009 Josh | !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - From: When in Rome... or Croatia I found mine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't know why, but I laughed out loud when I read that caption. |
| 23rd May 2009 Judi | awesome - From: Ode to Sausage Tree Another great entry... I'm glad you're having a great time and didn't get snapped in two by a hippo or a concussion from a sausage tree! If you ever decide that you need a new career, you should definitely consider writing and publishing travel guides! ;) |
| 20th May 2009 Josh | I always said... - From: Ode to Sausage Tree A trip ain't a trip until you got sausage hanging from a tree and a hike revolved around poo. I am glad your trip is finally complete. |
| 19th May 2009 Szabo | - From: Ode to Sausage Tree HEY HUG! By now I am suuuurrreee you miss hearing that :) I am glad you finally posted some more pictures and a story . . . I was beginning to think that you didn't survive Africa! Then again you are on safaris (guessing not the best Internet access) - Anyways, the pictures are AWESOME, cannot wait to see more! Hope you are having fun . . . heard you were heading back to the BPMS next year - WE NEED TO CHAT! Ha Ha Ha! |
| 18th May 2009 Stefanie | - From: Ode to Sausage Tree Excellent pictures! |
| 18th May 2009 Tami | Poo-riffic! - From: Ode to Sausage Tree Great post. I never thought that reading about poo could be so interesting. Africa looks beautiful and I hope you are enjoying its grand adventures. |
| 18th May 2009 Jerry | thanks - From: Ode to Sausage Tree Kevin, I have greatly enjoyed all of your entries. Thanks for sharing as The Lady and I will probably never get there. FYH |
| 18th May 2009 Connie | Sausage Tree Lover - From: Ode to Sausage Tree That was facial hair? Thought you just hadn't been able to wash your face. But, I will never question your poo expertise again. And by the way were you able to try a sausage fruit? You didn't say anything about humans eating them. |
| 11th May 2009 Jason | Since When? - From: Walking with Lions Yo Hug just found the site. Sweet Journey my friend. Since when can you grow facial hair??? Red Sox 4 Devil Rays 3, sorry but I figured you'd want to keep updated. The picture with you and the male lion... where is your hand? Enjoy Africa while you can. |
| 8th May 2009 Judi | Ping Pong? - From: Turtles are slow I would've thought that was "beer pong anyone?"! How the heck are you? Sandman just gave me your blog info today...love the trip so far!! |
| 1st May 2009 Ross | Go Indy, Go - From: Come have tea Couldn't help but hum the Indianan Jones March while I looked at the picts, take advantage of all the hospitality you can, soon you will be back to the land of bilk and money. |
| 30th April 2009 Josh | Great pics - From: Walking with Lions Your pictures have great on all of your adventures, but I really like these! Maybe it is because I am a sucker for nature, but I really like these. |
| 29th April 2009 Stefanie | - From: Walking with Lions Wow. I'm just in awe of your experience! I look forward to the emails every week and get mad at you when it's not in my inbox on Monday morning. But then I forgive you when I read your awesome descriptions of places. Travel writing really is your calling! Enjoy! |
| 29th April 2009 Tami | The Lion's Head - From: Walking with Lions Holy crap, that lion's head is as big as your whole upper half. You are looking good, Mr. Hug! |
| 21st April 2009 Josh | Great pictures - From: Come have tea Great pictures Hug. Too bad you didn't get any pictures of hit a camel with a stick and run. That game sounds like fun! |
| 17th April 2009 Karen | no explanation for you! - From: Lessons in Dining Etiquette Maybe they're more into "interpretation". Like contemporary dance. |
| 14th April 2009 Ross | Watch out for Mohammed - From: Lessons in Dining Etiquette He wasn't wearing a backpack or a really bulky vest with wires hanging out was he? No conversations about hooking up with 47 virgins later on...tonight was going to be banging...dinner was a blast...the couscous was the bomb...had a meeting with Allah later...wearing a Jimmy Walker "Dyn-o-mite" t-shirt...was humming REM's "It's the end of the world and we know it"...instead of growling, his stomach ticked...he was carrying a paperback copy of "Suicide Bombing for Dummies" bookmarked on page 145 of 146...I could go on and on. |
| 14th April 2009 Tami | Promised Land, really? - From: Lessons in Dining Etiquette The Promised Land could use a sprinkler system. |
| 13th April 2009 Stefanie | - From: Lessons in Dining Etiquette Your last update was so light and carefree...I'm not sure I breathed reading this one! I think I would be a little creeped out dining with the company you've come across! |
| 13th April 2009 Connie | Neat post - From: Lessons in Dining Etiquette I'm laughing about the coffee. And guessing that won't be the last time you get dragged into political conversation while there. |
| 7th April 2009 Aubrey | WOW - From: Everybody was Kung Fu Fighting That sounds like a blast! Can't wait to see you! |
| 6th April 2009 Josh | Fire dancing! - From: Everybody was Kung Fu Fighting And I thought having prom on my birthday was awesome, but we didn't have fire dancing! We will have to step it up next year. |
| 3rd April 2009 Tami | next in Asia - From: Bring Your Own Napkins All of the Filipinos who found out that their country was the first Asian country I'd ever been to suggested that I go to Singapore next. It definitely sounds worth a visit. |
| 29th March 2009 Ross | Isn't that a Zep tune? - From: Mall Rat Temple of the Dawn? Isn't that a Zep tune? Kidding of course, glad you are getting back into the Americanzi way of thinking. Miss you and hope your quest for fire. I mean restrooms is successfull. |
| 26th March 2009 Tami | Malls - From: Mall Rat It must be an Asian thing because I was taken to 6 malls in my first week in the Philippines. By the time I left, I visited about 12-15 malls, and not because I wanted to. |
| 26th March 2009 Josh | The names are awesome - From: Mall Rat Temple of the dawn that opens at 9?! That's great! |
| 26th March 2009 Cate | Malls - From: Mall Rat Loved reading your Thai mall experience. I like the feet massage options which are peppered around. What a good idea for somewhere to go if your drinking chalk by the bucket. I will remember that. Hope you are better now. Cate |
| 23rd March 2009 Kath | Stupa - From: This Bus Goes Where? Mama always said, "Stupa is as stupa does." |
| 12th March 2009 Josh | Water tank? - From: Sapa Are you sure that was a water tank and not the travel keg from heineken? |
| 12th March 2009 Josh | Nice Buffalo - From: Laid Back Lao I too love the water buffalo picture. But unlike Tami, I don't have a buffalo quip for you. Oh well. |
| 12th March 2009 Josh | Lovin the Buddha - From: Life on the Mekong The Buddha Park looks surreal. I think there needs to be a trip back there. We could go hunting wabbits. |
| 10th March 2009 Jen | - From: Life on the Mekong Sounds like this is where we should come find you when you don't arrive in August, eh? Just reading this entry I felt my blood pressure decrease. Can I join you? |
| 10th March 2009 Karen | Hands off my robe - From: Laid Back Lao Maybe the monks sew their names in the robes - or their moms write it in there with a Sharpie. |
| 4th March 2009 Tami | water buffalo - From: Laid Back Lao Nice picture of the dirty buffalo. Today, I was pulled in a trailer by a water buffalo named "Sexy." I am so not kidding. |
| 28th February 2009 Karen | you DID make it! - From: Peace and almost solitude Disregard my last email; you were a step ahead of Top Gear. Did you get to the floating bar? |
| 27th February 2009 Tami | - From: Peace and almost solitude The view from the cave is incredible! |
| 25th February 2009 Szabo | Pizza of the future . . . - From: Vietnam Brought to you by the Letter H I have heard of the Pizza Cones . . . I actually just had my students read an article about that in class last week . . . now I can tell them that my friend Hug went to a restaurant that actually had Pizza Cones! SO very exciting :) |
| 24th February 2009 Connie | Oh What a Thing to Do - From: Vietnam Brought to you by the Letter H Thanks for the photo. Looks like I need to lengthen my beard significantly. Love the photos, as usual. And I am amazed with the story of Ho Chi Minh's body. What in the world did they put in there to preserve it for this long? |
| 23rd February 2009 Kath | The truth about Hoi An - From: Little, Yellow, Different There is really no such thing as an electricity-free legendary night. Hoi An is very likely serviced by the Potomac Electric Power Company in Washington, where its customers have received astronomical bills for the last two months. Mine -- at $333 for January and $467 for February -- are considered low. Tell those folks in Hoi An that they just have to pay Pepco like the rest of us. |
| 22nd February 2009 matt | Earth Hour in Hoi An - From: Little, Yellow, Different I like their traditional Legendary Night. Maybe the Hoi An version of Earth Hour can add some charm to the pretentiousness of our modern version of the event. |
| 16th February 2009 Tami | silk and shoes - From: Little, Yellow, Different I think a shopping experience where there is silk all around is awesome. I hope you bought yourself something pretty to wear around your house when no one is looking. Mike Rowe would look mighty good all bent over a rice field. |

| 16th February 2009 Josh | Fortune telling - From: Little, Yellow, Different I saw the fortune telling sticks, did you get any fortune telling done? Are the Rays going back to the Series? |
| 10th February 2009 les | barter/bickering system - From: "Hello Buy Something Please." Not to disappoint uand no offense Barb- but u didn't have to travel around the world to find a two tier system. Mexico is a perfect example of this. The locals pay one price and the tourist pay double. As you go along u will find this in all countries. Think of a smaller version-- Ber at Fergs for u and then for strangers.. Don't inhale around the DMZ-- agent orange and don't go crawling around in any tunnels. I forgot where I left all the present 40 years ago.. Hope all is still enjoyable and your not getting to disenchanted with the life style and behavior for survival. Just keep remembering--- 3rd wolrld country.. by the way, that great chicken that they will try to talk you into eating may have had 4 legs and barked at one time.. See u Les-Jan |
| 7th February 2009 Barb | it was a wrap - From: A holiday in Cambodia My people would not have done that to you.. it must have been a wrap. |
| 6th February 2009 les | cultural foods - From: A holiday in Cambodia Congrats... Eating these cultural foods finally caught up with u and now u have a cultural illness. eating spiders-- taste like chicken..... Hope everything is going as well as you sound... keep writing and no mexican food... when in asia, eat like an asian... 2 weeks till baseball.. so sorry for u- no baseball till the end.. have fun- see you in a few months.. les-jan |
