| 14th September 2009 John C. Anderson | Congratulations - From: Swimming across the Mississippi River I also swam across the Mississippi River, from Moline, IL to Bettendorf, Iowa, fifteen years ago, on my fiftieth birthday. My hands were cuffed behind my back and my legs were shackled. Instead of giving me the key to the city for my daring feat, the evil backwater burg of Moline gave me a damned ticket. |

| 27th June 2008 Ashley | The Atlanta Braves - From: What to do as a tourist in Atlanta My best team of MLB is The Atlanta Braves . This why I always fallow their games especially whenever I have some time. I’m always trying not o miss any of their game and hear about the team’s news. But The Atlanta Braves tickets get more pricy especially when there are some hot games. But, if we’re really good fans we should try not to be mean when we’re talking about a favourite teams. It’s not only the Braves tickets that got pricy, but there are other major teams too, so the team needs our support and we should provide as much as we can. |

But, it's better than being a lao wai--trust me on this! Your blog brightened a rather dreary Saturday (just one week of classes left here, so everyone's pretty much out of gas and GRUMPY) and I'm glad to see you still like TRAVELLING. I'm doing Savanna Studio for the first time in a number of years next fall. Eek! Hope you're having a wonderful time. Cheers! Heidi |

Its livestock includes sheep, yaks, pian niu (crossbreed of bulls and yaks) and horses. Qinghai produces large quantities of sheep wool, meat, leather and sausage casings for other parts of the country. It is an important producer of medicinal materials such as caterpillar fungus, antlers, musk and rhubarb. Qinghai Lake is famous for its scale less naked carp. The province grows spring wheat, highland barley, broad beans, potatoes and rapeseed. |
| 20th April 2008 Wempie | Singapore - From: Uniquely Singapore Hey Halef, great to hear that your dad's okay now and that you got to enjoy Singapore. I was just there a few months ago and I loved it as well. Did you go back to Indo at all? Anyhoo, we went to Chad and Diana's wedding last night, it was beautiful, it would've been awesome if you had been there! |

Thank you very much for your help. Willy |
| 18th March 2008 Ivan | Great review - From: City that doesn’t sleep, and neither do we NYC is pure magic! I remember walking from Brooklyn to Manhattan over East river in May 2007.... No one mentioned, nor it wasn't on TV that it was actually over Hudson back in 2004 ;) |
| 23rd January 2008 annmariemarie | Wheee! Aquariums! - From: In between marathon training and the Georgia Aquarium I so want to go to Atlanta to see this huge aquarium you've been to. Also, did you mean Beluga Whale instead of Beluca Whale? |

| 29th November 2007 Richard | Not a Cessna! - From: The Last Spanish Virgin As a Caribbean pilot I can't let the "Cessna" remark go un-commented. The airplane you travelled in was actually an old British airplane, the Britten-Norman Islander. It is almost standard-issue in the Caribbean because it gets into the tiny restricted airports with few problems. Its joy to be in the Caribbean (even the northern parts! :) but even more of a joy to fly for a living in the Caribbean. |

| 9th March 2007 halefg | Culebra is the place to be - From: The Last Spanish Virgin Joanie - I would highly recommend Culebra to visit on a budget and a 'real' Caribbean experience. That said, if your ideal anniversary is having a pampered accomodation in a high class resort (ie spas, drivers etc), your best bet is maybe St John in US Virgin Island or Bahamas, or Bermudas. Culebra is definitely a much slower pace place where you can have a beach by yourself, camping out by the shore for 10 bucks a night, and biking around the island in comfort. Simple roads with potholes, sleepy bars and restaurants with no set open hours, and not many cars. Not touristy, relatively not too expensive, especially if you bring your basic essentials and some food from mainland PR. Culebrenses still need to import many things from the mainland. |
| 9th March 2007 Joanie | Thinking about going - From: The Last Spanish Virgin My husband and I are looking for somewhere tropical to spend our 25th anniversary. We need somewhere affordable. We do not want anything touristy. Culebra was suggested. What do you think? |
| 15th February 2007 Jena | :) - From: In between marathon training and the Georgia Aquarium Looks like we've had some overlaps in our travels. Nice to see some familiar sights on yours! (Brazil is next on my list!) |
| 11th February 2007 Akasio | Wonder boy - From: Livin’ la Vida Loca hello Halef.Your pics are very nice,some of them remind me when I was in Puerto Rico.You too are very nice.Lots of love and kisses from a fan in Tenerife,Canary islands. |
| 31st January 2007 martha | I love Culebra also - From: The Last Spanish Virgin I'm headed back to Culebra in a few weeks, so I do a search to see who has been there and to see if anything has changed. Apparently not! The only bad thing about going there is coming back -- re-entry to the rat race seems overwhelmingly pointless... |
| 31st January 2007 Wempie | - From: The Last Spanish Virgin iriiii gua iriiiiii..... i truly truly envy you.....hikz..... |
