| 27th November 2008 david phillips | Ho Chi Minh - From: Socialist Republic of Viet Nam Just been reading your blog as we were in Vietnam earlier this year and notice you say that Ho Chi Minh was born in Hue. He wasn't. He was born in 1890 in Hoàng Trù Village, his mother's hometown. From 1895, he grew up in his paternal hometown of Kim Liên Village, NghÇ An Province. I believe he moved south to Hue when he was 10 as his father worked for the French. |

| 5th June 2008 anonymous | - From: Mexico City, Puebla & Oaxaca Just one observation about Mexico City. Although the historical district is one of the main districts in Mexico, it´s not considered the most important for socialising. It´s very quiet at night and has a very strong working class feel as rich families left the historical district many decades ago to build their mansions in more upscale neighbourhoods. Coyoacan, where Frida Kahlo lived, still preserve many colonial colorful building. http://www.mexicocity.com.mx/coyoa2.html A similar neighbourhood is San Angel Inn. The trendy districs are Polanco and La Condesa; the financial district is Santa Fe. The gay district is Zona Rosa, which is also one of the main nightlife areas of Mexico City. This may give you a broad view of the different districts in Mexico City. http://www.city-data.com/forum/mexico/190554-photos-mexico.html |
| 24th May 2008 Robert Davis | Blinkbonnie Tea Plantation - From: Sri Lanka I have just seen your article. Blinkbonnie is a Tea Estate just outside Dickoya. My Great-Great Grandfather bought it in 1845 from part of his winnings on the Derby(Blinkbonnie came in at 20-1) My Father PG Davis was born on the estate and I was taken out there in 1945 at the age of three months. I returned to the UK to go to prep-school in 1952 and used to return for Summer and Christmas holidays untill 1955 when my father had to sell up because the Government of the day weren't to keen on European Proprietry Owners. I am hoping to visit next year Regards Robert Davis |

| 19th March 2008 Paul | Keep On Trekkin' (or is that "Truckin'?) - From: Maldives Great photos - do I get any residuals for the shot of you2 on the beach? You really were lucky to get the shot of the Full Moon - I don't think I'd even been able to pick it out...of course, when I left it was rather dark, huh! Anyway, enjoy your travels and stay safe & healthy. Hopefully, you'll be able to spend the GAP refund sometime in the future. I purposefully put the required expiry date at the end of 2009 whilst thinking of you. It was great meeting and "cruising" with you both! Who knows when and where we'll meet again??...but I hope we do! |
