The art of naming Russians. - From: Lithuania...Yea, but where is it?
Well, I can't read cyrillic. But Who needs to when naming Russians?? Everyone knows there is only a small selection of names to choose from!! I mean come on, You just know there will be a Vladamir in there. (In this case, that's Lenin - Vladamir llyruch Ulyanov)). Then there will be a Mikhail (I believe I see Gorbachev), and a Nikita (Kruschev sits on the right). Admittedly I don't see Joseph as a typical Russian name (but Stalin was Georgian anyway, and his real name was "losif"). (The likes of "Boris" "Yuri" "Sergey" and "Alexei" are ever popular too!) Did I get it right Mike?? Did I????

I'm not gonna even try to spell these right... - From: Lithuania...Yea, but where is it?
Lenin, Stalin, Krushev... and I can't make out the letters on the other guy's card. It doesn't help that you took his pic upside down. It does help that I can read cyrillic.

Hi Mike - great blog as always. Looks like you're having a good time - reckon the statue park is a great place to visit - can you fit one of the statues in your bag? ;-)

Cool dad - From: My Name in Russian Has a 3 in it, and other tales from Siberia
I especially liked the comment about your cool dad. Sounds like he's the greatest. Hope you have fun traveling with him. I hope he behaves himself and does not embarass you in public. Boris

Hi Mike, sorry to have been out of touch for a while, had girlfriend visiting etc..... Anyway, I clearly have to go to Tomsk, and the Tom river is just crying out for me to go see it! Looks amazing. Why did I return back to the UK again?? Oh yeah, job and boring shite like that!

Hey Mike, cool pics, great writing!! Loves it. Home sucks. BIG TIME. The only good thing is that there aren't any hot Korean babes to piss me off. I've got to get out of here. chat soon

Don't you mean minature pony? - From: Mongolia: Blue Skies, Big Spaces, Shakira
You call that a horse? I bet if your knees weren't bent your feet would touch the ground. In the picture of the people pushing the car, I love the guy in the middle. His jeans are hot! I checked out Napanee on Wikipidi. I bet you are so excited to get back there and with all the anticipation of adventures to come while back home I can't believe you haven't cut your trip short! Take care, Nic

Thanks for the least flattering shot of me ever. I forgive you though; the picture is poorly taken and tilted because you were too distracted by my grace and beauty. It's not your fault, Mike. I guess we'll call it even, since I made the Great Wall come out of your ass in the last shot. Ha!

China agrees with you! - From: Pandas are delicious! ...And other half-truths about China
You look so happy in your photos! I was the same way in Europe. Maybe there is a correlation between the snarly expressions we previously wore and Korea!But there is a bright side to having been there. If you didn't go to Korea, you would have never met me (what a lacklustre life that would be) and you would have one less person to laugh at your bad jokes and one less person to envy you and your travel adventures! But just so you know, if you don't post a photo of you in one of those Mongolian coats with the really big sleeves...you know the ones that smell like camels, I will be terribly disappointed Take care Mikul!

msg? - From: Pandas are delicious! ...And other half-truths about China
Hey Mike, Do you know if MSG is used big time in the the places your visiting. Is it possible to avoid it? Can you relay a brief MSG report? Should you choose to accept this mission, I will think of you as Agent MSG and be ever grateful. PS. I realize that if MSG does not cause your head to explode, your tongue to swell, your brain to feel like it's been in a blender, you may not be suited to properly sus out this culinary menace.

Ullanapanee - From: Pandas are delicious! ...And other half-truths about China
Hey Mike, funny stuff and nice pics. Great guy/great wall is my fav. Ullaanbaatar the Napanee of China? Ever since seeing Henri Cartier Bresson's exotic photo of wrestlers in Ullaanbatar years ago, I've fantasized about visiting the place. Are you saying, all I need to do is ride down the road to Napanee?

I hate mosquitoes - From: I Wupped Bruce Lee's Ass...
After 5 days of trekking I find myself suffering the consequences of approximately one million mosquitoe bites, and with the upsetting thought that I have a mere week to go before flying back to the UK. Nice Pics mike, that classical looking guy in the leather pants needs a cod piece. Keep it coming!

Caption Contest - From: I Wupped Bruce Lee's Ass...
Seriously Michael, give me back my Louis Vutton bag!! Haha, great pics again. The hair shoes remind me of something I saw in Poland. At Aushweitz they have a room full of hair that the Nazis pilfered from the bodies of the Jewish they killed. They then used the hair in the German textile industry...blankets and jackets and such. Where are the Chinese getting all off this hair to make shoes and a house? Wierd!! Miss ya! Much Love, Nicole

M. Guillotine actually ended up opposing his own invention when he realized how inhumane it was. There were numerous experiments where the name of the victim would be called immediately after decapitation; on occasion, the eyes of the beheaded would look towards the voice. Fucking creepy, if you ask me.

Vietnam fing-nam! - From: H is for Vietnam
Monsieur Michel, I too very much enjoyed reading of our hero's adventures..surly train conductors, political propaganda and the commodified hills of Sapa and surrounds are all things experienced in my travels as well. Dropping dong on clothing was an espeically enjoyable past time. Please keep us updated on your hero's escapades as you traipse through the Asian world....it will for some good reading while Im tooling around through the Australian outback. Safe travels, Colin

Hola - From: H is for Vietnam
Hey Mike, appology accepted for your repeated capitulation to the relative comfort of air travel over itīs terrestrial competitors. I enjoyed reading your notes on Vietnam, reminds me of my trip there a couple of years ago. i was at most of those places. I particularly remember the prison camp and the propaganda and lack of honesty within. I find myself in the worldīs highest capital city (La paz, Bolivia) waiting to check into a shitty hostel for a couple of days here. Off to Titicaca and Peru soon, will send some pėcs when I get a decent computer with USB and reasonable internet! keep us informed, all the best tOm

Mikul I miss you!! - From: H is for Vietnam
Hi Mike! I am glad to hear that your adventures are consistent with my superiour standards for fun. However to my dismay you seem to be experiencing too many adventures to update this blog in a timely manner. How am I supposed to live vicariously through you? And mister whenever you want to complain about the heat, think of me in Saskatchewan where it is only 10 degrees C and raining. Oh what pleasure I will get when you are in Russia and we get Indian summer! Oh yeah my mom made a big turkey dinner last weekend! Miss you, safe travels, Much Love Nicole

Hey! Well must say that i was holding off on reading the travel blog and i knew it was gonna make me hate being here even MORE haha... Sounds like you're having an amazing time... I remember spending one of my bdays in Vietnam... chris and I got smashed off the cheapest vietnamese wine around.. yeah.. wouldn't recommend it! Anyhoo keep these coming as it allows me to live vicariously through someone until i get on my merry way. Take care, have fun.... play some "safe" frogger (if there's such a thing)... Cheers!! April

Brag Much? - From: Motorcyles, Searching for Kurtz and Attack of the Pickpocket Ladyboys
Ok, ok I guess I will admit your photos are pretty good. They do induce travel and adventure jealousy. No wait I have already had lots of adventures in Saskatchewan since I returned. Just yesterday I went to the waterslides with 2 moms and 4 kids and learned all about the birthing process. What fun!! Miss ya kiddo!!Stay safe and most importantly keep fit and have fun!!!

Alright Big man. Sounds like you're doing it up right. Did you buy any of that pot or what? Make the most of it. For the most adventure, I reckon solo is the way to fly. Glad to hear your doing well. Peace, Love, and Dope
