| 25th April 2009 Deb/Mom | Syria - From: some krak, dead cities & a whole lotta fuul The photos are stunning. The waterwheels are amazing......may be a painting some day (with permission from the photographer, of course!). You seem to have the best luck in meeting up with people that make the trip so interesting, and helpful! Looking forward to the next installment. Would like to see a picture of Matthew some time.........xoxo to you both! |
| 24th April 2009 paula | wow - From: Matt & Laura of Arabia syria and arabia - amazing pics you guys. Great to hear from you and yes, looking forward to seeing you on the coast.. |
| 21st April 2009 Osman | A common humanity - From: so this is Pakistan... Dear Matt & Laura, I have really enjoyed your coverage of some of the most demonised places & people on earth. IF ONLY we all interacted without prejudices and the dirty politics, I truly believe we would see the nonsense of Wars, and violence come to an end. There is much for the East to learn from the West and there is much for the West to learn from the East. We are all one global family as your experiences show. Many thanks for sharing your experiences. Best wishes - Osman |
| 19th April 2009 Jeannie | - From: so you think you are tough? how much chai can you drink? Hi Laura & Matt It sounds like you both are having an amazing adventure! I have enjoyed your stories of Pakistan and hope to visit there one day myself. May you continue to have safe journeys and keep sharing the beauty of life that is richer than any material object ever could be. Cheers Jeannie(YTT200hrs) |

| 29th March 2009 Dr Kamal Qureshi | Heart of Gold - From: so you think you are tough? how much chai can you drink? Dear Fellas, Thank you very much for such a beautifully honest account of a beautifully honest country. People of Pakistan have a heart of Gold. They are unarguably one of the most hospitable and friendly nation in the world. What you hear in the media is hyped and largely political. The troubled parts of the country are about 10% of its total geography and entail about 3% of its population. Undoubtedly there is extremism which comes from a deep sense of injustice in many spheres. But there is also hope as in recent elections i.e. October, 2008, the extremist forces were wholesomely defeated even in these troubled areas. There is a lot of hope that the country will get back on track and will be an amicable tourist haven again. Articles such as this one are much needed to bring out the existing positives also, which otherwise do not get much attention in popular press. |
| 28th March 2009 Leia | Egypt - From: Aswan, Luxor and the Sinai COOL. Looking at the photos and reading your blog...it's just so COOL that you have actually been there. Egyptians have a bit of a bad rep for badgering tourists too much...not to mention all the bus accidents! But the topography and ruins seem as though they exist nowhere else on the planet. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the picture "huge papyrus columns"--come on, admit it- you paid that guy to be there ;) Look forward to the next entry! xo |
| 13th March 2009 Anna | Great story! - From: the dickies Matt, you're a great writer...I loved this story! Thanks for sharing. To add to your Truro connection, my favourite jeans are from the Margolian's department store in Truro! I'll be sure to wear them when next we meet in Vancouver. I'll be passing through Truro in Sept...perhaps I can take the Dickies to Jason's family :-) Happy travels! Anna |
| 22nd February 2009 zdenkaprincic | hello!! - From: so this is Pakistan... thanx for the experience, after reading Holy Cow, didn't think it could get any better!!! our life at home seems very dull by comparison!! take care |
| 31st January 2009 Kevin | Monkeys - From: a fresh look at the Ganges Well I will certainly not look at monkeys the same way again... will also excercise extreme caution stealing fries from Laura's plate... |

| 24th November 2008 Bengt | Great pictures -great hike! - From: The Big E: Everest Hi Laura- again, a lot of great pictures! Lukla looks a lot more civilized than I was there in 1986. The runway was just grass and dirt at that time. I hiked up towards Everest and flew out of Lukla. I hope I can go back some time. |

(Easily done I'm sure)... xoxo |
