| 2nd May 2007 Alex | - From: I Got High in Dali Wow, congrats on conquering your first mountain, it sounds like it was an excellent adventure. Let's see more photos of the city and its locals (preferably the female ones). |
| 19th April 2007 Lloydy | - From: Happy New Year, Dai Style Matty, good to see you are listening to your audience. more photos of danish chicks and less photos of butterfly loving signs... |
| 19th April 2007 Scott | Massage - From: Happy New Year, Dai Style Was it a full body massage as in a "Full body massage?" and what's up with taking your shirt off in a disco and not taking a chinese bird back to the guest house :p Good to see some females in the updates mate. |
| 19th April 2007 Joel | - From: Happy New Year, Dai Style I do not understand! What is the standards? |
| 18th April 2007 Franco | - From: Happy New Year, Dai Style Looks like lots of good clean fun. |
| 17th April 2007 Erna | Tips for China - From: First Impressions of China In Shanghai stay at Hiker Hostel, good location and great people. in Beijing stay at Leo Hostel it has the best location, it's only 750m from Tianamen square and close to everything, if feeling frisky there is a "massage parlor" next door and the people you meet at Leo are just the best people, Sigrun and I had so much fun there. And the beer is only 5 yuan!! Hard sleeper in trains are best but be prepared for 1-14 hours delay. Take Care |
| 17th April 2007 Alex | Black & White = artsy? - From: First Impressions of China Good to see your finally in china matty, although I'm not sure if joining a tour group is the best way to get away from tourists. |
| 17th April 2007 Scott | Waving the red flag - From: First Impressions of China Hey mate, good to see you haven't been run over by a tank yet. I seriously expected lot's more red buildings then I've seen so far. Also, I've heard stories about Chinese people spitting on the sidewalk, and on the floor of restaurants. Have you run into any of this cultural charm in the world second biggest nuclear power? |
| 16th April 2007 Joel | - From: First Impressions of China I am still disappointed with the level of hot young asian birds in your posts. Try to remember us reading at home and post some pics. |
| 16th April 2007 bill | stone - From: First Impressions of China Cute boy??? *cough, choke*. Well, it sure aint Mt Rushmore, but nice try! |
| 10th April 2007 Scott | Sexuality woes - From: What to do in Hanoi Dude I am seriuosly getting worried about the lack of lady action in these updates. However that doesn't disturb me as much as this single sentence "Asger and I spent an afternoon shopping for cool hats, chocolate cakes and cappuchinos". |
| 6th April 2007 Bill | Speed of light - From: Unshowered and Unshaved in Un-Sapa Well that was quick - Hanoi to Sapa in about an hour (as my computer flies). My friend in Hanoi (a local) has been complaining about the cold days they have been having. Oh, and travellers guide 101. Smart traveller arrange visa before depart home ;-)) Bill |
| 5th April 2007 annika | two points - From: To the Mekong Once Again, and then to a Bar First, Queen Bee Milk Extract is used in some expensive shampoos and cosmetics (the price of being high-maintence). Secondly, steets named "Hang Man" and especially "Hung Guy" could be subtle ads of a very, very different variety. Don't you think? |
| 3rd April 2007 Scott | Hey Ladies! - From: To the Mekong Once Again, and then to a Bar Good to see you still have the pulling power Matty. I wouldn't be too worried about the 17 year old, all Asian girls look like 12 anyway. AMIRITE?? Still a bit worried about the lack of photos with hot chicks in your updates though. I challenge you to get your photo taken with at least 3 females for the next update! |
| 2nd April 2007 Scott | Ever Present Eye? - From: HCMC: The Conglomerate City of the South Sounds to me like the Cao Dai should be worshipping Tolkein. ps. Lisa Kraz says hi. |
| 2nd April 2007 Bill | Nerd! - From: To the Mekong Once Again, and then to a Bar You spend more time on the computer than I do!!!! Get back out there and do stuff!! (But its great to read of your great adventures, and see the pictures. I appreciate the time you are taking to share all of your wonderful experiences!) |
| 23rd March 2007 mattylee | Kafeh Lao Wins - From: Following My Nose Through Vietnam Even with condensed milk the coffee here tastes bad. Only in Laos can they get it right. |
| 22nd March 2007 anonymous | coffee - From: Following My Nose Through Vietnam Vietnamese coffee is very tasty and probably one of the best on the world, but of course they probably got yours from a dirty sink, LOL. Mext time ask for cafe sua~ da' (ice coffee with condense milk). |
| 22nd March 2007 Alex | - From: What Did You Do Today? It's called a sea urchin Matty. You know, those things you think are starfish. |
| 22nd March 2007 annika | your 'thing' - From: What Did You Do Today? I can't believe you don't know what your (marine) 'thing' is... the shame! |
| 21st March 2007 anonymous | - From: What Did You Do Today? And you still have the top of your head. |
| 19th March 2007 Scott | - From: Following My Nose Through Vietnam I reckon you should've punched the director of Big Brother in the face. Actually better still. Slap him with a copy of the book, then punch him in the face. Also, this blog needs more updates from Jeff. |
| 19th March 2007 anonymous | - From: Following My Nose Through Vietnam omg the part returns |
| 17th March 2007 anonymous | - From: Enter Vietnam Let me send you a Vietnam Airlines domestic timetable ;)) Bill |
| 13th March 2007 Alex | Happy B-day - From: Vientiane: Sleepy Capital of a Sleepy Country How did I know you would spend your entire birthday shamefully stuffing your face with cake and cappuccinos. |
| 13th March 2007 Chris | All your ladyboys are belong to matty - From: Vientiane: Sleepy Capital of a Sleepy Country Hey Matty Can't be bothered to read it all but looks like you're having a fab time. lol |
| 12th March 2007 Sigrun | greetings traveller - From: Vientiane: Sleepy Capital of a Sleepy Country Hi! Sigrun the stalker from Cambodia here! Love the Chewbacca :D Take care now, Laos sounds like a......uhm.....an interesting place :D Best regards Sigrun and Erna |
| 12th March 2007 Scott | Happy Birthday - From: Vientiane: Sleepy Capital of a Sleepy Country Hey Matty, Happy Birthday. I also have a vague recollection of another person witha hilariously retarded bowling action :p |
| 12th March 2007 Joel | OMGWTF... - From: Vientiane: Sleepy Capital of a Sleepy Country The wall of text crits you for 428275495723505! You die! |
| 11th March 2007 mattylee | Vietnam is full of fruit - From: Vientiane: Sleepy Capital of a Sleepy Country There is quite a lot of fruit around Hue and I'm trying to improve my diet. I don't think they import apples from NZ though, perhaps England? |
| 11th March 2007 shelley | still going - From: Vientiane: Sleepy Capital of a Sleepy Country glad to see that you are still out there having fun and have not piked like Jeff. It doesn't sound like you are getting a lot of fruit in your diet, have you been eating enough new zealand apples? |
| 6th March 2007 Lindsay | HAPPY BIRTHDAY! You fat bastard. - From: The Loop You're probably too drunk to read this, but I hope you had a good one and didn't do anything you'll regret. You MUST tell us all about what happened, though. |
| 5th March 2007 Scott | Crazy ducks!! - From: The Loop Hey dude, I heard on the news some old woman from Laos got bird flu and carked it. KEEP AWAY FROM THE CHICKENS!!! |
| 4th March 2007 Lindsay | Born to be Mild - From: The Loop Crazy update Matty. Looking forward to more extreme scooter adventures! |
| 2nd March 2007 Erna and Sigrun | Still stalking... - From: The Loop hey there, yup it's us those pesky Icelandic girls you met in Cambodia. Just wanted to wish you all the best on your travels, we are now in China getting ready for over-priced Japan, and you think Serendipity is over-priced. Take care, hati2 yah! |
| 2nd March 2007 Scott | - From: The Loop Loving the updates Matty. You have inspired me to start naming my stationary. I just need a name for my sticky tape. Oh, and "spent the whole day watching Thai TV". lol. More like "German Booty!" (See what I did there). Looking forward to seeing the un-censored photo collection sometime in the future. |
| 2nd March 2007 Joel | - From: The Loop You didn't name your bike this time? The ladyboys must have straightened you out, or maybe it was Sandy. I'm sure she knows what you were doing those 2 days. |
| 23rd February 2007 Lindsay | Matty loves the cake. A lot. - From: Offroad in Ratanakiri I was chatting with Noro the other day. Apparently, he had to do all the work while Matty just sat there. I tell you what, he wasn't happy. |
| 23rd February 2007 Greg | It's just a bike - From: Offroad in Ratanakiri Hey Matty Good to see you updating again. I am worried about your bond with Noro - maybe you need to meet some more ladyboys. |
| 21st February 2007 christine | Loved the red dust - From: Offroad in Ratanakiri Hey! Matthew , Have just logged on and the country looks great . not what I imagined as for your red face mask/ mud pack , now we know what you will look like in 30 years time?????? |
| 21st February 2007 Lloydy | - From: Offroad in Ratanakiri matty, devastating news... noro is just a bike. you sound like tom hanks with wilson in castaway... |
| 19th February 2007 mattylee | Thanks everyone. - From: One of the Good Days Thanks for all the positive comments everyone, especially you Bronwyn. You are far to complementary of my writing. Sorry scott, I had to miss first training, I'll try to make it to the second one just after my graduation ceremony. Or I could go to Savanakhet... hmm... Oh, yellow shirts appear to be worn as often as possible in Bangkok now as a tribute to the king. It's the pink, red and blue shirts which still puzzle me though. |
| 16th February 2007 Browny | - From: One of the Good Days Looks like you're all having a super time. Keep it up.... Johnny Depp. |
| 12th February 2007 bronwyn | blown away - From: One of the Good Days Well guys, against every grain of my heart and soul, I am a busy person, and since you had sent this to a previous e-mail address, only got around to digging into your blog today--have been laughing outloud all afternoon. Matty, you are a brilliant travel writer. I read an entire entry to Ken as a bedtime story, he is likewise very impressed by your writing skills. Do not abbreviate for others, keep it up, we will read every word and travel vicariously with you, you lucky buggers! You could submit this to a travel magazine, I swear! In fact, do not tarry anywhere too long, Zack and Dylan are ready to get on a plane and catch up with you. Of course they already have the scooter skills from Vientienne. The daily massage quest brings back hilarious memories of the six of you on the Intrepid trip. "Where you want me rub?" (Anton) |
| 12th February 2007 bronwyn | yellow attire - From: Sergio Leone Takes on Bangkok Did you figure out that on Mondays all Thais are wearing yellow shirts to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the King ascending the throne? or is it his 80th birthday? One or the other. It is part of the "We love the king" celebration, in fact the writing on the shirts says just that. That event occurred in 2006 (I witnessed it in September 2006), but I guess they all have the yellow shirts now, so what the heck? |
| 8th February 2007 Lindsay | That's not art deco. - From: One of the Good Days It was only a matter of time before Matty found the Hawaiian pizzas. That's why he travelled 6000km from home, wasn't it? |
| 8th February 2007 Lindsay | - From: One of the Good Days Hey guys Can't be bothered to read it all but looks like you're having a fab time. Like the beard Jeff :) Lindsay |
| 8th February 2007 PedroElPedro | Corrections - From: One of the Good Days Great journal Matty, just feel the need to point out a few things for fellow readers. Bangkok's not that great (and not that clean), 5 million locals in Bangkok are not dead-set drop-dead perfect to look at, fantasgreat is not a word, a 100c scooter is not a motorbike, Australia is not part of Cambodia (refer to world map) and as I've been to hawaii I'm qualified to say "there's no such thing as a super-hawaiian pizza". Apart from those, all good, though how about trying to keep the journal in chronological order? Reading things out of sequence confuses me. Also, I'd recommend taking photos of everything but "truly photogenic scenes" . . . that's what postcards are for! |
