| 17th December 2006 Lithuanian | Person on the card - From: Lithuania...Yea, but where is it? The fourth man is Brezhnev, just in case you were wondering... |
| 8th December 2006 Colin | - From: Paneriai very moving, mike. good on you for making the effort and honoring their memory. |
| 17th November 2006 Tom | 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???? |
| 17th November 2006 holly~ | wow... - From: Lithuania...Yea, but where is it? i am always amazed at your travels. not to mention that you're not a bad writer and photographer. what was your major again? 'annoying holly' is not a major. |
| 17th November 2006 Summer | 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. |
| 17th November 2006 jermy-a | i heard of this place... - From: Lithuania...Yea, but where is it? don't know anything about lithuania, but it looks nice in pictures. love that frank zappa pic. is there a reason why lituanians must place a zappa head on the sidewalk?? so...where's your last stop?...korea? |
| 16th November 2006 Summer | - From: Paneriai Thanks for that, Mike. |
| 14th November 2006 Andy Horsman | Colder Than Sapa! - From: Insert Cliche Russian Phrase Here 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? ;-) |
| 12th November 2006 summer | don't worry... - From: Insert Cliche Russian Phrase Here ... getting deported from Bellarussia isn't as cool as it might seem, so you didn't miss much. |
| 30th October 2006 jere... | pictures? what pictures? - From: My Name in Russian Has a 3 in it, and other tales from Siberia i don't see your pictures, but i'm sure your times are nice. |
| 29th October 2006 summer | - From: My Name in Russian Has a 3 in it, and other tales from Siberia I can't believe that a guy who has traveled in India is complaining about Russian trains. :) |
| 28th October 2006 jroberts | I guess it could have been worse! - From: My Name in Russian Has a 3 in it, and other tales from Siberia A free golden shower...hmm...I think in some parts of the world people pay high prices for that! |
| 27th October 2006 Richard | 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 |
| 27th October 2006 Tom | love the nomenclature - From: My Name in Russian Has a 3 in it, and other tales from Siberia 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! |
| 27th October 2006 holly~ | samir? - From: My Name in Russian Has a 3 in it, and other tales from Siberia what was ali's teachers name? have i really been out of young-do that long? hahahaha! i think i would've already jumped off the train if i were you. good luck! selim? yusef? mrs. yildiz...what the "ef" ever... |
| 26th October 2006 Ryan | Nice train ride... - From: My Name in Russian Has a 3 in it, and other tales from Siberia What else can I say? That sounds like a fun enough train ride! Nuthin' like getting woken up by drunk guys breaking skulls and giving you a shower... lol |
| 21st October 2006 Aline | boogly boogly - From: Mongolia: Blue Skies, Big Spaces, Shakira 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 |
| 18th October 2006 Nicole | 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 |
| 18th October 2006 Jroberts | Awesome pics - From: Mongolia: Blue Skies, Big Spaces, Shakira Whats up guy, I have enjoyed looking at your trip photos. It looks like you are having a blast. |
| 15th October 2006 Min Min | - From: Pandas are delicious! ...And other half-truths about China 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! |
| 13th October 2006 j. bean | are panda's chewy? - From: Pandas are delicious! ...And other half-truths about China i thought the temple of heaven (all the old people) was the best part of beijing. mongolia? i'm jealous. keep it real. peace. |
| 12th October 2006 Nicole | 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! |
| 12th October 2006 Micky | 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. |
| 12th October 2006 Holly | insane - From: Pandas are delicious! ...And other half-truths about China i know everybody's told you this, but i'm so jealous. but how in the h-e-l-l do i email you??? |
| 12th October 2006 Micky | 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? |
| 29th September 2006 Tom | 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! |
| 27th September 2006 Lara | aaahh, the pointy elbows.... - From: I Wupped Bruce Lee's Ass... i sometimes miss korea - or at least people that know what you're talking about when you mention pointy elbows! you have some awesome pics - which im going to steal by the way when i get round to doing my own travel blog... so jealous you're still traveling but it was good to see you along the way xxx |
| 27th September 2006 rosie | questions - From: I Wupped Bruce Lee's Ass... Hey Mike it is great to see all of your pics and how you are getting on!!! and really making me want to get out of this country fast, but as you proberly know i will be in china and hong kong on my travels and i was wondering do you have any reccomendations of places to stay while in hk, looking forward to the updates and will talk to you soon |
| 26th September 2006 Summer | - From: I Wupped Bruce Lee's Ass... That caption photo is sooooooooooooo gay. (not that there's anything wrong with that) |
| 26th September 2006 Nicole | 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 |
| 26th September 2006 Andy H | Superb Pics - From: Photo Edition: The Memory Card Recovery Hi Mike - superb pictures. Great to meet you in Sapa - let me know if you have any probs getting all your pics back and I'll send you some if needbe. Enjoy China! Cheers, Andy |
| 23rd September 2006 mikersaxer | uh huh... - From: Korea...but its changing Kim, eh? That narrows it down, doesn't it? :P |
| 23rd September 2006 Kim | the photo - From: Korea...but its changing 'Army training in South Korea starts early in life' Hm.. I don't think so... -_-; |
| 21st September 2006 summer | - From: Photo Edition: The Memory Card Recovery awesome! keep it comin'! |
| 20th September 2006 tom | Titleless - From: Photo Edition: The Memory Card Recovery Getting artsy with the black and white Mike! Cool shots. Just sending a load from Uyuni myself! Take care. |
| 19th September 2006 Min Min | - From: Photo Edition: The Memory Card Recovery 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. |
| 19th September 2006 TwiggyAmy | cool pictures!! - From: Photo Edition: The Memory Card Recovery Did you take them all?? They are very nice==33 |
| 17th September 2006 Colin | 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 |
| 16th September 2006 tom crompton | 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 |
| 15th September 2006 Nicole | 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 |
| 15th September 2006 Summer | F*$K memory cards! - From: H is for Vietnam Yeah, you know I lost my India pics because of a faulty memory card.... good luck getting that stuff back! I have learned: upload as many photos as you can.... as fast as you can. I won't make that mistake again! |
| 3rd September 2006 Tom | try not to get diarea - From: Motorcyles, Searching for Kurtz and Attack of the Pickpocket Ladyboys Hey Mike, looks cool. I loved Vietnam when I was there, although the continual heckling got to me after a while. MAke sure you do the Ha Long Bay trip in the north! Whatīs with the flying to Na Trang? Pussy! GET ON A BUS! |
| 2nd September 2006 Summer | copy cat - From: Korea...but its changing peace, love and rice? hmmmmm..... I wonder where you got THAT idea..... Happy Birthday, jerk love you |
| 31st August 2006 April | Good times - From: Motorcyles, Searching for Kurtz and Attack of the Pickpocket Ladyboys 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 |
| 30th August 2006 Niki | 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!!! |
| 30th August 2006 Micky | - From: Motorcyles, Searching for Kurtz and Attack of the Pickpocket Ladyboys Hey Michael, Your travel musings have triggered in me another outbreak of road fever. I awoke this morning wearing a colourful Hawian shirt, camera around my neck and drooling on my atlas. Thanks dude. |
| 30th August 2006 Horsebox | Nice-uh - From: Motorcyles, Searching for Kurtz and Attack of the Pickpocket Ladyboys 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 |
| 30th August 2006 christine | what up biatch? - From: Motorcyles, Searching for Kurtz and Attack of the Pickpocket Ladyboys i am sooo jealous of you right now fuckface!!! did you have a smile on your face while you were being groped by the lady boys? love ya christine xxxx |
