| 25th June 2008 AnnaAdventuring | Great blog! - From: Farewell London A very amusing blog! I love your descriptions of the changing of the guard, and it appears you were in England for our freak Spring snow! Well April is still early spring and the weather can be unpredictable. Come to England in June- September and I assure you sunbathing is possible! (It is honestly!) I look forward to reading your further travels. |
| 12th May 2008 drbexl | Great Entry - From: English Wanderings Ah, you had me laughing all the way through. I rarely read other entries, but as you were on the front page and I'd been nearly everywhere you've been in England, thought it was hilarious to see it from a non-Brit's perspective - you should turn this into a magazine article!! |
| 10th May 2008 Annika | - From: English Wanderings Did you know that Jane Austen hated Bath? Thought I would add that to your rhapsodizing about it. |
| 2nd May 2008 Isaiah | looking forward to it - From: Poorly Planned Seasonal Tourism: Winter in Nepal Hey, entertaining blog, man! I'm headed up to EBC in monsoon season and you've really made me excited about it. |
| 20th April 2008 Lindsay | Re: The Queen - From: After 14 Months I Finally Made It http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2008/04/07/woz207.xml |
| 18th April 2008 mattylee | Pedro and a Compass - From: After 14 Months I Finally Made It Yes Paul, in India you couldn't figure out which was was north even when given four attempts. |
| 18th April 2008 PedroElPedro | The Queen's Ultimate Power - From: After 14 Months I Finally Made It Hmmm, so the Queen has ultimate power over you if she ever chose to use it? I think I'll leave that one alone . . . however I can assure you that it is most definitely possible for one to get lost in central London. I can attest that even when I was no more than two blocks away from my hotel, I still didn't have the slightest clue how to get back there . . .though I will admit that your sense of direction is substantially better then my own. |
| 17th April 2008 Annika | no pub crawl... - From: After 14 Months I Finally Made It I beg Matty not to take a pub crawl because, if he does, we might never see him again... remember what happened to Lister? |
| 16th April 2008 will | proper food! - From: After 14 Months I Finally Made It if you get the chance you've gotta get up north, everyone is much more friendly and the food is loads better, if possible get to York in Yorkshire for some proper Yorkshire puddings!! then on to Newcastle where the weather is awful but the people are amongst the nicest in England, if you an understand their accents!!! |
| 14th April 2008 Scott | - From: After 14 Months I Finally Made It Hey, have you organised a Monopoly pub crawl yet? One drink from every street on the board with photo's of each drink should do it :) |
| 14th April 2008 Joel | I have to push the pram-a-lot - From: You Can't Leave the USA Without Seeing New York, Supposedly Hope you enjoyed Spamalot and bought one of those novelty trebuchets with the assorted animals. Also, several days in a woman's appartment and no pictures of her? I am thoroughly disappointed. |
| 23rd March 2008 Brandy | Autumn - From: Trying, but Failing, to be Normal ".... was completely out of the question during Autumn in that part of the world" I thought it was closer to Spring? |
| 17th March 2008 Fred Judd | Where are you? - From: Taj Hi Matty: There have been no reports since January. Are you working? Brandy |
| 3rd March 2008 Scott | Juicy Bits - From: Taj Eagerly awaiting the next installment of "Adult's only Travel Blog" I'm sure with Paul there you guys have got something worth reading. ps. I think you like the Taj Mahal just a little too much.... |
| 27th February 2008 AnnaAdventuring | - From: Taj Great blog! I thoroughly enjoyed reading it!! Lovely photos too. :) |
| 18th February 2008 Wildacad | Pondicherry - From: Welcome to French India! great bog, I had the same feeling about this place.. however the fruit and vege market was certainly one of a kind!!! |
| 14th February 2008 PedroElPedro | The Tipi Experience - From: Israeli Ruins and Indian Dancers in Jew Town You forgot to mention the other bizzare aspect of the Hampi Tipi experience, the fact that the locals there were playing didgeridoos! What a night indeed . . . |
| 22nd January 2008 prof.dr.s.damodaran. | about india. - From: What Does It Take to be a Bollywood Star? you are correct about india.your blog is quite interesting and i followed you upto nepal.welcome to south india esp tamilnadu.i don't know whether you have visited already.anyhow thanks a lot for your photo gallery. |
| 20th January 2008 PedroElPedro | The India Adventure - From: What Does It Take to be a Bollywood Star? Good sum up of our experiences in the first section, India was definitely a mixed bag, but a great time was had nonetheless. No need to keep referencing my photos though, let's just accept all the good ones are mine eh! :) |
| 12th January 2008 Doma Kali in Nepali | Brilliant blog - From: Poorly Planned Seasonal Tourism: Winter in Nepal I was there in November and even then, the temperature plummetted to -17 degrees at night time. It was just insane! Great pictures you have here, reminded me so much of my previous trip. |
| 11th January 2008 tannismc | Amazing - From: Poorly Planned Seasonal Tourism: Winter in Nepal Stunning photos. Almost makes me want to go in December... |

| 27th December 2007 TOG | Angermanagement | Bridge Broken - From: Team HAC Takes On 300km of Nepali Flat Have just heard that one of those bridges you cross has collapsed.. Understand it is a bigger one but due to the name and location in the news I could not recall if you were in the area.. Stay safe.. |
| 23rd December 2007 annika | "the bee didn't stand a chance" - From: Team HAC Takes On 300km of Nepali Flat Matty, you must be desperate for a MATTY IS FAT comment, re: sitting on a bee. A half-dozen situation-appropriate jibes spring to mind immediately and I never even got into the whole thing. I can only imagine how many more opportunities the situation presents for the highly trained Matty-is-fat commentators. Have a great Christmas etc...! |
| 22nd December 2007 TOG | AngerManagement | Nothing compaired to Tazzy - From: Team HAC Takes On 300km of Nepali Flat Top story... I am sure that we will all hear from Ben how he saved the day on more than one occasion.... I can hear all the Donkey stories now.... Some one needs to take some round up for those weeds... looks like an infestation. Stay safe and merry X-mass to all. |
| 20th December 2007 TOG | AngerManagement | Gut Wrenching - From: You Are Cordially Not Invited To. . . Matty, I am looking forward to the Annapurna trek report, however I have scanned your stories from the beggining to " you are cordially not invited" , which I read indepth. It is X-mass here and I can only hope that my own son, in the future can experience half of what you have, and have your positive outlook and drive. Wipes tear from eye .... Take care of Ben your Dad and anyone else... Your Dad will treasure the experiences with you, regarless of what the future brings... while others whill have there lives enriched.. if only for a fleeting moment. Stay true to your dreams, and pay it forward where ever you can.. To be fond of learning is to be at the gate of knowledge. - chinese proverb. PS. BEN, I am alone in the Armory, playing Paul C's music... Ask me about it some time. |
| 1st December 2007 Lindsay | - From: You Are Cordially Not Invited To. . . Holy crap I need to shave. |
| 28th November 2007 annika | nostalgia - From: You Are Cordially Not Invited To. . . Ah, Matty, I'm so glad to see you getting nostalgic over Townsville... and finally admit that there are multiple things there that are worth living there for! |
| 3rd November 2007 lloydy | faults.. - From: Following the Yellow River matty, you are a tourist. you cant be somewhere and the place be totally devoid of tourists. second complaint...steve irwin is dead!! |
| 1st November 2007 Annette from Tropicaltravel.net | Great insight - From: Following the Yellow River I loved reading someone's personal take on a trip through these places. It helped me get an idea on how it would actually be, rather than the travel specialist's take on things. Can't wait to read more on your travels. |
| 18th October 2007 Kiwi Steve | - From: A Month in Mongolia Very Pretty, and I don't mean you Matty ! |
| 18th October 2007 Joel | Wall of text - From: A Month in Mongolia TLDR!!1 Ps Are you emo now? |
| 2nd October 2007 Engelbert Humperdinck | There's more to this oblate spheroid than Asia. What about Azerbaijan? - From: Ulaan Baatar So this little jaunt around the world is it 5/6 the way through? Better get your shit together and see the rest in a blur of trannies, hookers and lepers. |
| 13th September 2007 JC | - From: Ulaan Baatar Where's all the ugly pictures? |
| 13th September 2007 annika | - From: Ulaan Baatar Matty - I'm beyond jealous of you! Also, if you get to play polo using a goat's head before I do, I'll never forgive you. However, I take comfort in the fact your riding skills probably aren't up to scratch yet.... |
| 11th September 2007 Lindsay | HAY GUYZ WUTS GOING ON - From: Hello Confucius Isn't Confucius the dude who writes all those cookie fortunes? |
| 9th September 2007 greg | annika: you're fat in a fat way - From: Austr(al)ia Hits Hong Kong DO NOT MIX |

| 3rd September 2007 annika | - From: Hello Confucius Hi Matty - fascinating history, but how do you spell a place with lots of trees? |
| 30th August 2007 harry potter | - From: How To Make the Best of a Bad Situation hey matty! been watching this space for quite some time now, but still no news about your shanghai date... have fun, wherever you are, and keep us posted! the one who looked "same same harry potter" |

| 16th August 2007 harry potter | - From: Austr(al)ia Hits Hong Kong yo matty! we hope to see you sometime in vienna... i'm glad we kidnapped you, as we had a very good time in hk! harry potter, otherwise known as joe or simply joseph |
| 16th August 2007 annika | you're insane in a bad way - From: Austr(al)ia Hits Hong Kong Hi Matty - I cannot believe you on a half-dozen counts. You travel with a guy who really does looks like Harry Potter (!?), stay in the worst place possible (drug-dealing ChunKing Mansions), and go to Hong Kong a week before I get there? Odd, insane, and very sad, respectively- DO NOT MIX THE ORDER UP. |
| 15th August 2007 mattylee | Handling Denmark - From: Bludging in Beijing Felix, in answer: badly, and yes. They found the song mildly humerous. |
