| 27th March 2008 Natey | Another fine installment in the adventure that is your life - From: The Silk Crossroads of the World I suppose I'll comment, as I always enjoy a good comment now and then and us being such like souls it would do you no harm. I'm really left wordless yet again, how you can be so delibrate and to the point yet still flow easily and fluidly like the Mighty Rhine River (yes I am in Germany right now (and yes the Z and Y are switched which makes typing incredibally awkward)) leaves me envious with every re-reading. In perusing this latest installment, it deems my prose pithyless, pathetic, pretentious and O So prehensile (I ran out of p's and I'm tired). Keep up the fine, fine work. That is all. |
| 2nd July 2007 Nately | Absolutel Incredible - From: The Crucial Piece While reading, I wanted to match your with an equally engaging comment, but now find myself at a loss for words. I truly and utterly am blown away my good friend. It was not unlike reading a Bill Bryson, or David Sedaris, or David Rakoff (name drop? me? never.). Without a doubt sensational. I commend you on another fine essay/story and recommend you send this to a fine publishing house to reap the rewards you so definitely deserve. |
| 27th June 2007 Chris Kirby | June 27, 2007 - From: Kim Jong-Illin' Hi Peter, I spoke to Anne yesterday wishing her a happy birthday. She gave me the link to your blog. You are truly seeing some amazing things. Take care you two. Chris |
| 16th June 2007 Anne | watch out! - From: Kim Jong-Illin' Kaelyn... if Peter said "step back - just a little further" in taking your photo on the edge of a cliff... don't do it! Stay on the concrete! Love to you both! Take care... |
| 18th March 2007 Lizeth | - From: Day 2: The Sichuan Spice of Life I was in chengdu for 5 weeks during november. Myself and other students from Brooks Institute of Photography traveled around Sichuan Province working on a project. I was doing some research about chengdu on google and your blog came up. I myself also stayed at the Loft. I was their for 3 weeks!!!! Hope you are having a great time. I dont log in to this site, so you can email me if you want to at Lizeth.Soriano@my.brooks.edu |
| 7th March 2007 Brugger | Enjoying YOUR travels! - From: Home is Where the Jiaozi is We particularly enjoy your encounters with the Chinese people. We have several good Chinese friends after having gone to China on an Elderhostel about ten years ago. We were at Colorado College together and continue our long and satisfying friendship. Great that you are taking advantage of this great opportunity. We will tag along after you! |
| 5th March 2007 claire bryant | Way to go Trojan - From: Home is Where the Jiaozi is Hi...just back from a visit with grandma Brandy and grandpa John in Tubac and enjoying "blogs" from grandson... like I knew what a "blog" was, right? We are a little old for this nonsense (computers) but I finally figured it out and even guessed that you might be the Trojan (did she tell me that?) and I LOVED reading about your first day in your new home. I'm the Kappa who traveled the world before settling down in the 60s...so relish your tales. Keep it up! Claire |
| 28th February 2007 Suzie Clements | fascinating - From: Year of the Golden Pig Peter - thoroughly enjoyed your writing & adventure. You certainly have a way with words & paint a very interesting picture. Thx for sharing......suzie |
| 20th February 2007 Nately | What's going on here? - From: To Tell You the Truth, I Don't Know Who are you? Is pete paying you to write this for him? If so, you're doin a heck of a job out there brownie. You have his mannerisms exactly. Well done, truly, well done. |
| 19th February 2007 TrojanTraveler | Eh.. - From: The "Guy" at the Train Station It was just a typo, should say,"I was hustled around by a ticket seller, trying to get me on a bus to Changsha, a large city just five hours away from Zhangjiajie." Noted and changed. Now what does this have anything to do with speaking English? They sure weren't, and I wasn't either. |
| 16th February 2007 σή | eh? - From: The "Guy" at the Train Station "I was hustled around by a ticket seller, trying to get me on a bus to Changsha, a large city just five hours away from Changsha." Excuse me? So they don't generally speak English in China. What a surprise! Have you ever tried to buy a ticket in the US only speaking Mandarin? |

| 11th February 2007 jess | - From: Free Mati Your stories are really interesting, I was perplexed to what this Mati could be too, I never heard it being called that! I cant believe u got a motorbike all the way from guilin to yangshuo, thats a 1 hour and a half journey, a good experience though! Ps if u like a challenge go rock climbing in yangshuo, its awesome. I went with a shop called xclimber but shop around for the best deal :) |
