This blog reminds me of a conversation I had with a social worker in a village in Kenya. I was so shocked at the harshness of the lives of the young girls there. Keep writing those blogs and getting us all informed. :)

Not much has changed
I served with the US Peace Corps as a teacher at Bweranyangi Girls School outside of Mbarara in 1965-66. I could have taken these same pictures 45 years ago. It is heartbreaking that so little has changed. I pray that Uganda and all its fine people will have the stability that is needed to improve their situtation. With love, from Nevada

Wow! I see you're still working out
You may not have a step climber or tread mill handy but it sound like the walking up and down hills and carrying water will keep you in good shape. I am really appreciating your blogs. Keep them coming. lol Leeda

In China you have better not to take trains,especially not to buy the hard seat ticket. Because the hard seat compartments are always very crowded just as what Jennifer Paul described, especially during the holidays. As a chinese, I also don't understand why the terrible situation of train transportation still exist. Just because of too many people? I don't think so. Anyway welcome to China.

scooters
I don't think you need a license if you're just visiting and you only want to rent the scooter. you can usually get an international drivers permit at home before you go. I think some of the scooter rental places will accept your passport though. I've got to warn you, it's not like driving at home! the rules of the road seem to be just a suggestion there. :)

scooters
did you need a license to ride the scooters? and how much was it to rent one? Just curious, cause I was thinking about doing that when I visit Taiwan in the fall.

I'll travel alone again and this time destination will be Hong Kong-Shanghai-Hangzhou at Oct 2010 I begin to consider train from HK to Shanghai but also worried about 20 hrs journey but that's the cheapest deal i could get instead of paying USD250 for one way flight your blog really helpful, at least to boost my confident in taking it Hhh.. i am so worried actually since i am alone, but hey you're too..! Greets, Tami
