| 15th September 2009 jaime | Crossing into Israel - From: Crossing into Lebanon, Hezbollah and Roman Ruins I will be running the Beirt marathon. After that I will travel trough Syria and Jordan by Land ino Israel. Will I have some issues crossing into Israel? JAIME |
| 6th September 2009 cabochick | La Paz - The Peace place - From: Vacationing on the non-touristy Baja My favorite little place in the world, La Paz is. Hope you got out to do some kayaking around Isla Espirtu Santo or at least to Tocolote playa? If not, come back someday. All the best, Cabochick |
| 25th July 2009 angela | granada :) - From: Granada - Nicaragua gets touristy while staying colonial Hey I loveee the pictures! I want to go to Granada coz of the colonia structures. Any suggestions for a female solo traveller going to granada? Any other places you recommend in nica? I'm going to cr in 3 weeks but will go to nica after 3 days in cr coz of it's cheaper in nica. Angela.:) |
| 20th July 2009 anonymous | - From: Hostel Warning - Boquete - Hostal Palacios Hey! I just got back from trying to find some friends that stay at the dos palacios hostal when I as well got 'verbally lambasted'. I just want to share my experiences so other people make good decisions: when you are staying in boquete please don't stay at the dos palacios, even though it's nice that it's next to the busstop, if you walk 1 min futher up you have two great hostels, nomba and the most beautifull hostel ever hostal boquete, which is just as cheap for a dorm room. I really hope that the Lonely PLanet decides to chance their review because what it says now is totally wrong according to my experiences and of many more that I heard last few days. Biggest mistake of the Lonely Planet ever: the review of Dos Palacios! |
| 3rd July 2009 crowman | - From: Hostel Warning - Boquete - Hostal Palacios Sorry to hear that you had problems as well. Other people staying in dorms mentioned that they had bites that could be bed bugs. |
| 1st July 2009 Snow | - From: Hostel Warning - Boquete - Hostal Palacios I too had a problem while I was staying there. His wife was very rude because I had asked two guys to wait for me in the sitting area while I got changed. Being that I am a female I felt that was safere. His wife was very upset that I had people "hanging around" (they couldn't have been waiting for more than 5-10minutes). We ended up checking out early and heading to Bocas because it was very uncomfortable.. and that was a blessing because they had bed bugs. |
| 27th June 2009 Briizy | - From: Bogota - shockingly safe while also surprisingly welcoming Very well-written blog. I'm glad to hear that you felt optimism for this country, especially considering I'll be living there for the next two years. People where I'm from (U.S.) are so cynical about Colombia, so it was to get a bright light from your writing! Thx! :-) |
| 19th June 2009 crowman | Hostels - From: Bogota - shockingly safe while also surprisingly welcoming Cranky Croc and Fatima |
| 18th June 2009 JP | the hostel - From: Bogota - shockingly safe while also surprisingly welcoming Hey, what hostel did you stay in? |
| 27th June 2008 anonymous | - From: Taste of Palestinian Life Nice, thanks for showing us some of the positives. I love Palestine. |
| 18th June 2008 ashraf | - From: Taste of Palestinian Life This is indeed a recruitment center where hundreds of young men are lured into join in the name of allah and then when the person dies is given a treatment of martyr. |
| 1st April 2007 Jena | Fantastic Pictures! - From: Do these people have too many civil liberties for their own good? You have a great eye! |
| 13th March 2007 A. Freeman | Look deeper - From: Malaysia is truly Asia Look deeper when you are in Malaysia and and you will see a country divided by politics and religion. Add corruption and abuse of power and you will surely admire these folk for living there. There is massive discrimination against non-Muslims. The Muslim elites extract a "rent" for each and every contract they sublet to the non-Muslims. That's really a form of Islamic tax that the extremists want to impose openly on the non-Muslims. Enjoy your visit but look deeper. |
| 9th March 2007 Beth Hannah | pete... labas - From: Not all is well in paradise Pete: I read this and suddenly miss you. I hope that you are still doing really well in the midst of all this travel. I love what you wrote about why you travel, how you connect with the world... Swing by Fresno, we'll sit at a local shop and drink tea, and you can tell me all your stories. Peace brother. |
| 27th February 2007 Maria | Just making sure... - From: Not all is well in paradise Hi! Glad to see you got some rest. I just want to remind you that every time you post, I get a nice little email with the link....so please don't stop posting ok? I have fun with all your stories-for free *wink* Be good (= |
| 27th February 2007 Richard | A wee bit jealous - From: Not all is well in paradise Awesome. We were snowed in throughout most of February. Glad one of us was warm. Hope to see you again in June. |
| 27th February 2007 Julian | It's a shame - From: Not all is well in paradise I was there in November 2004 - not actually staying at White Sands but I had a few cups of tea with Kurt in the morning. A fellow tea drinker! It's the usual corruption problem as elsewhere by the coast in South East Asia- the big hotels look set to move in. It's a shame - the place still looks exactly as I remember it - idyllic. |
| 27th February 2007 mikel | expert? - From: Not all is well in paradise so typical..a few days in a foreign country and an immediate expert on everything. |
| 23rd February 2007 Lyn Lightfoot | old neighbor - From: Malaysia is truly Asia Hi, Pete - Your parents put me on to your blog site. Just read your latest entry. Very, veryinteresting. Makes me want to go there. Lucky you. Good luck to you. Lyn |
| 17th January 2007 Emily | - From: My Covert Breach of the Beach Great story, Pete! I love it, I would never have been able to think that fast! |
| 16th January 2007 Jenna | River View of the City - From: Don't look for Thai hospitality here Ahh...the river view of the city photo does resemble Cairo. Thanks for good memories! Stay safe. Jenna |
| 4th January 2007 Paul | Good to get back to your blog, Pete. - From: Christmas in the Capital We missed you tonite in Seattle area, but it sure sounds like a great "learning experience." If your travel companions offer to host you in Malaysia, take them up on it. Warmer there, next to 0 degrees lattitude. If you are able to get to Cambodia, perhaps the Lord will allow you to meet Fran Lance and her group who are going to visit the orphanage she's established. Believe it's in Phnom Penh. |
| 23rd December 2006 Maria | - From: I was sick, but it was so cool, I still had a good time Wow! Beautiful.....I think you're so fortunate to go to sooo many places. Unlike myself....I feel like Jimmy Stewart must have...he never got to leave Bedford Falls! Well maybe not that bad (I grew up in Costa Rica, Cuba, and Nicaragua). I just want to thank you for giving me the chance to experience so much through your words and pictures. |
| 15th December 2006 Rax | - From: The minority culture here rocks! Chinese are so friendly. The driver wanted to put your bag under maybe because you are the last one to get off the bus. Chinese generally will not treat foreigners bad. Maybe there is miscommunication. |
| 11th December 2006 Will | Cool thoughts - From: No Sorry, No Excuse me, just go! Hey Pete, nice update; keep it coming! |
| 11th December 2006 Will | Cool thoughts - From: No Sorry, No Excuse me, just go! Hey Pete, nice update; keep it coming! |
| 9th December 2006 Nagymami | Glad to here from you! - From: A clean city that can't stop buzzing It is great to finally have reports from you! Mami and I independently pull up the towns where you travel from the internet! We follow you where ever you go! Miss you, take care of that cold! Nagymami |
| 9th December 2006 paul | missed you Wednesday - From: This Dragon Drives a Ferrari My bro Jason from HK emailed from Beijing that they had a global filter on the internet, so I'm not surprised that even the most innocuous contents may not be found on the web. May He bless your time there. |
| 24th September 2006 Lebanese American | Thanks - From: Crossing into Lebanon, Hezbollah and Roman Ruins Thanks for posting such a positive message on Lebanon. Few Westerners actually know how beautiful Lebanon. Glad you enjoyed your stay. |
| 14th September 2006 crowman | - From: Taste of Palestinian Life So your arguement is that this is trying to discourage others from being martyrs? |
| 13th September 2006 anonymous | - From: Taste of Palestinian Life if u dont understand somethin dont make ur own explanation this is not a recruitment poster....but a poster with the picture of 2 new martyrs |
| 7th August 2006 Adam | Hezbollah - From: Crossing into Lebanon, Hezbollah and Roman Ruins hezbollah fight israel because israel occupies small lands from lebanon, and has lebanese prisoners in israel |
| 28th July 2006 anonymous | Hezbollah - From: Crossing into Lebanon, Hezbollah and Roman Ruins Hezbollah shouldnt be so damn racist.. they have a right to fight to recontrol Israel but that really doesn't mean they have to knock out Israel as well. |
| 12th June 2006 Maria | Cabin??? - From: It is amazing what you can get the government to pay for Hi Pete. I just had to let u know how interesting and entertaining your postings are. Not only do I enjoy all your smart quick-witted comments when you describe all the places you have visited, but u also crack me up with all your funny almost sarcastic observations, truly hard not to laugh. Quick, question. What is the cabin story all about? Write more! I like it! P.S. Sorry but as you mention with the Irish, I don't really associate the word with any of the funny analogies you provide *wink* |
| 4th May 2006 Brian | American policy - From: Aleppo and Syria's Fallujah Wow... Fancy having to defend the policies of Mad King George Bush///that would be hard..better not to say anything!! The only more indefensible would be the Zionist in Israel..that even worse. |
| 23rd April 2006 Will | Idiots - From: Bus entertainment and the random stops along the road That whole gun thing is *really* funny. You guys are pathetic. |
| 11th February 2006 Alaa | nasser gheto? - From: Islamic Cairo, Garbage City & My Neighborhood that's the first time I hear this. the zabalin exists and is a poor christian community, they present both an inspiring story and a depressive one, but I've never heard about this community having a different role in the past or about being moved there. recently the government has been trying to get foreign companies to take care of garbage and cut the zabalin out (the sane thing to do is give the zabaling technology and training) |
| 29th November 2005 Paul Crompton, 15, British. | I lived here - From: Lithuania Journal: Vilnious I used to live here a few months ago, and visited the dorm(Yeah, it's pretty grotty. I got rather angry at the Lithuanian Christian College because they are not really at all christian like they say they are. Ugh. It was awful living in Lithuania- the worst 9 months of my life probably. |
| 16th November 2005 Briony | $8 Accommodation - From: Poland's Pearl! I'm heading to Krakow next year. Where did you stay for $8 a night. Is that $8 in Polish money?? |
| 15th November 2005 z | Trabant - From: Nothing Eastern About it The Trabant is German, not Russian, anyway. These tiny cars were manifactured in the People's Republic of Germany, a few decades ago - but they still rule.:) |
| 10th October 2005 James from twu | nice. - From: A few hours in Aachen man, it sounds like you are taking it all in. I can't believe you got hit by an unmanned motor cycle. good itmes, I am sure. keep me posted bro! |
| 8th October 2005 jc | Thanks - From: Delft, Rotterdam and The Hague Delightful reading and viewing, as usual! |
| 3rd October 2005 Micah Park | Helwa - From: A few hours in Aachen Hey, it's good to hear you're havin' fun in the good ol' Euro Union. I enjoy hearing about your travels. ~ Micah from MESP |
