| 20th September 2009 Kent | Humaita - From: Past trip to Paraguay Interesting comments about Humaita. We lived there for 2+ years (back in the 80's) as Peace Corps Volunteers. It was interesting to see some familiar faces in the photos. The bust in front of the Ruinas de Humaita is of Mariscal Lopez (not Alfredro Stroessner) who led the Paraguayan forces in La Guerra de la Triple Alianza. Humaita was the the scene of a prolonged struggle during the war. The magnificent church was bombed. Thanks for the trip down memory lane! |

| 21st December 2008 Jennifer Barr | - From: Madrid for the weekend I want to go to a tapas jazz bar, although I have no spanish to practice. Isaac doesn't believe me that those carollers are made of chocolate. |
| 14th December 2008 Willow | right on - From: UNESCO Celebrates the 60th Anniversary of the Declaration of Human Rights I am so proud of you for posting this. For going to this event and more importantly through life with a critical eye on what is right and not getting swept up by the fancy and flair of bright lights and caviar. I love you! Willow |
| 2nd December 2008 Voodoo | - From: My Apartment Ha! I know. I have looked at posters and what not...but...I haven't found anything that I feel like spending my money on and since it is just where I sleep... Perhaps if I knew if I was staying, I would try harder to make it feel like a home. |
| 2nd December 2008 Jennifer Barr | - From: My Apartment Wow, I'm amazed that living in the capital city of the western art world that you have no pictures on your walls. Are posters really overpriced, or perhaps you're not allowed to stick anything up? |

| 29th April 2008 Dennis | Chaotic Cairo - From: Cairo I visited Cairo in October 2007 and also found it to be a little overwhelming. I personally did not enjoy the city other than the pyramids. Nevertheless I am happy that I visited the busy, crowded city as it was an experience to say the least. The Grand Pyramid Hotel was where I stayed and it was great but what I found very difficult in Cairo was to discover the city on your own. Public transportation is very difficult/dangerous as many of the moving vehicles keep their doors open. The traffic is insane and cars drive aggressively. As my tour guide jokingly remarked, the traffic lights in Cairo are used only for decoration. Needless to say, I was happy to leave the city and head down the Nile on a river cruise. The rest of the country is much more relaxed and enjoyable. The archaelogical sites along the Nile are fascinating, awe-inspiring and beautiful. My favourite was Abu Simbel near the Sudanese border....absolutely incredible!!!! I made several friends while in Egypt (in my opinion the nicest people in the world) and hope to be back soon as I have been invited to a wedding in 2 years time.
