| 19th December 2007 Jacques | Luv your blog - From: James Bond, the Beatles and His Holiness the Dalai Lama Hey Grace... I must say that you're one of the prettiest blogger around. Too bad I didn't run into you when I was traveling. Anyway, love reading your blog, keep it up. You must be almost done now, hah? |
| 8th December 2007 Aramaris | - From: It's good to be American... 5+ hours for a Syrian visa for Americans only! (**Free and immediate processing for North Koreans) I am sorry! I totally side with the taxi driver. $50 is nothing for 3 people. I would have exacted all of your heads. He is not your servant to drive you all over the place and wait several hours for you at your beck and call. Not only should the 3 of you have given him the $50 but a $10 tip, then gone out to get him something to eat. Generosity breeds generosity. So 3 of you saved $30 by not paying up. $10 for each of you. Wow! What kind of hoodlums are you. I'd never wish to run into the sort of riff-raff that you all are. |
| 20th November 2007 jenny | you made an error - From: A vacation from India Late comment~ trying to catch up at 6:30 in the morn... you said your 3 favorite people are (me, myself, and I) Sorry, but that must have been an errors it should be (me, jenny and JENNY).

| 1st November 2007 Megan | What's Missing - From: It's good to be American... 5+ hours for a Syrian visa for Americans only! (**Free and immediate processing for North Koreans) Wait... did you skip Jordan? Did you SKIP PETRA!? That was one of the highlights of my trip. Did I teach you nothing? Maryland-sharer! I'm jealous of Syria, I should have gone. |
| 8th October 2007 Pritish | Goaaaaaaa ! - From: A vacation from India man really like the snaps u've shot :) off to goa next week ...yippee ! |
| 26th September 2007 Some kind of Animal | Gollee Gee - From: It's good to be American... 5+ hours for a Syrian visa for Americans only! (**Free and immediate processing for North Koreans) You keep impressing and inspiring...don't slow and keep sending these wonderful blogs to keep our imaginations wild as you actually experience these places, peoples, and feelings. I will send an email to catch up on lotsa happenings but if you happen to be near Boston this is where I be! You have an open invite and a good listener around the campfire for your tales and insights. So Jealous! |

| 24th September 2007 The Travel Camel | An adventure worthy of Travelblog's front page! - From: It's good to be American... 5+ hours for a Syrian visa for Americans only! (**Free and immediate processing for North Koreans) Grace, am very much impressed with your travel itinerary - you journey to destinations many people would avoid. Many of the places you have visited, such as gorillas in Rwanda/DR Congo, Kenya and now Syria, are also within my travel radar in the next two years. Thanks for your insight into these fascinating regions and hopefully my arrival in these countries will be less traumatic than your experience on entering Syria! Hope you continue to explore the world for many more years! |

| 2nd February 2007 Brent (also not chinese) | Poop pants - From: "No, I'm NOT Chinese!" Looking good warrior. I guess you are heading through Kunming and then towards Tibet? The transportation will be pricey but the scenery is unreal and the Buddhism serene when you get closer and into the Himalaya. You makin me hungry for Chinese food. Who is general Tso anyways? Stay safe, I love your stories....:-) |
| 26th January 2007 Waderlusting | To Mikel - From: Paradise! I appreciate your comments and perhaps I would have enjoyed Manila a little more if you had been our tour guide. But I was there only enroute to Boracay, so perhaps it didn't get my full attention, hence my blog is specific to Boracay. My friend and I made it good with some locals and accepted their offer of dining with them and the stuff we tried was not my thing. I'm sure there are others who will appreciate it. And yes, there are many restaurant choices, but the only good food my friend and I had were at the places serving foreign dishes. And the stuff about their vocab... well, I heard it from them. I didn't think twice to question it, considering the credibilty of the source! |
| 23rd January 2007 rick | - From: Paradise! Thanks for the insightful explanations, Mikel. Even we, readers of this blog, have our minds set aright to observations that may not be truly accurate and even puts the country and its people under a rather unflattering light. |
| 18th January 2007 mikel | - From: Paradise! PS..people go to malls for various reasons other than shop. to hang out, enjoy the airconditioning, dining etc commonly, pedestrian attractions such as food courts, bookstores, groceries and non-branded or less costly merchandise stores are in the most trafficed levels(lower) and the boutiques and high end shops are in the upper levels. have lived in LA, paris, san francisco and nyc, and you never find high end strores in the less fashionable/upmarket area. same marketing ideas in malls! so it isn't about segregation of classes as you think. |
| 18th January 2007 mikel | - From: Paradise! good to hear you had a great time in boracay. FYI, jeepneys are actually manufactured like that in the philippines, although the original concept evolved from the wartime american-made jeeps. also, there are many restaurant choices in manila. but this being your first trip and without the recommendations on where to go for eats, you didn't find them! too bad... also, filipinos speak english as it is thought in schools, patterned after the US educational system; the country was a colony of the US for 3Osome yrs. so people, speak english albeit some more than others..not because tagalog has limited vocabulary!!!! |
| 17th January 2007 Brent | Lightning still scares me! - From: Turquoise waterfalls, French cafes, Beer Lao, LA Bike...is this heaven? Heya girl! I have had a hoot already reading through your blogs and reminscing on some of our adventures and the ones I heard fresh right from you back in the lazy days of Laos. I definetly crushed you in the beer chugging but it was you that brought out the loud Americans in us! From my cozy western world seat to yours of entering a most intrepid time of your life that you are playing out right now: GOOD LUCK and keep letting the world lift you up. I will be cheering and keeping up on your globetrotting. :-) |
