| 10th October 2008 pkeusgen | Bored in paradise? - From: A day in paradise Honey, when you start your trip in two and a bit months you'll realize that racing around the world is great, but stopping to appreciate it is even better. As for bored. Nope. I was living the life I enjoyed. Eat, drink, swim, shag, chess, sleep, read. Will heaven be able to match this? I'm terrified of ending up sitting on a puffy cumulus with nothing but cherubs for company and celestial music for entertainment. |
| 10th October 2008 Muczko | bored - From: A day in paradise it looks like you are verrrry bored! |
| 24th December 2007 pkeusgen | Flights from LP to Phongsaly - From: Trekking in Phongsali Laos Airlines has twice weekly flights, many of which aren't cancelled and some of which leave on time, from Luang Phrabang to Phongsaly (and back). A better choice than road. Else you can get a boat. |
| 15th December 2007 Alexander Appba | A question about Phongsaly - From: Trekking in Phongsali Thank You for the report! if ther is a regular flight to Phongsali from Vientian or Luang -Prabang? I'm going to travel across lao in january 2008 Best regards, Alex |
| 21st July 2007 pkeusgen | That was the best comment ever - From: Trekking in Phongsali Buddy, not only are you succinct, clear, and orderly in your thinking, and the world's best typist to boot, but you managed to create a paragraph that even 10,000 monkeys hitting random keys on typewriters wouldn't be able to replicate in a hundred years. I salute you. |
| 20th July 2007 Simon | Travel bite - From: Trekking in Phongsali Thank you, Are you a holiday traveler or traveling traveler. ? Those for who traveling is finding truth out side of media, find perspectives on subjects different from presented TV or newspaper, When is a - News - paper A gossip - paper, when put out to sell instead inform, a business instead a community service. You read what you buy, Meaning, newspapers media as a business, prints only stories that sell, every paper you buy contains only the type of articles you buy, read buy again generating profits, share holders, etc. Media often equels propaganda, travel truth, traveling can not be edited, if media becomes a conspiracy theory, travel becomes the only truth. You could if you are, whats that word, oh yes, Adventurer do ' As Found Cam ' subscriptions, webs- etc. This world, do you understant , never existed before that first ligth bulb and car, As time a history, This moden world but a very few seconds, History of earth and humanity. Why you never read about, yourself, news is always many people removed, No I don't like reading about that, What you wont buy my paper if i print that, OK no print, no problem, No wont lie any one, just not included. One person's truth, Another's lie. PEople are just so amazing, don't you find, every one's the next person you meet & greet. T |
| 7th June 2007 pkeusgen | Sorry for the dog? - From: Malacca, the best town in SE Asia I don't mind the call to prayers every day, but the dog howling at dawn became real old real quick. And I'm pretty sure that's nothing to do with culture. I don't intentionally mock anyone's culture, I just call it as I see it. There's plenty to laugh at in every culture and if you can't see the funny side you lose half the fun of travel. |
| 3rd June 2007 shaq | sorry - From: Malacca, the best town in SE Asia hi...just some points here. you should respect the local culture when you visit the place. if you don't like the sound of five times prayer, do not go to that place, no need to mock around with their culture. jesus won't be impressed with you! |
| 18th January 2007 pkeusgen | Let's meet up in Korea - From: Diving off an oil rig Rick, I'm coming back! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! FUCK. Same problem, same country, different institution. The bank gave me a new International cash card with the maestro decal and stuff on it and promised me it would work overseas. I wasn't even surprised when I got to Bangkok and it didn't work. Then Randal, my bag man, couriered over five million in cash to me, which wasn't very useful because I can't open a bank account in Thailand without a notorized letter of recommendation from the German ambassador. And if I convert it to THB cash or TT the bank takes 20%, even more if I change to USD or EUR. Buy shares in Thai banks! Then I find I can no longer do internet transfers from my Samsung Securities account, so I'll have to go to Seoul and get out my last fifteen million and hopefully transfer it off shore for good. Anyway, fuck it, I'm coming back. Keep the fish fed and warm up the curry pot! Cheers. |
| 18th January 2007 Rick Dysinger | Let's meet up - From: Diving off an oil rig I plan on being in Malaysia the week of the March 5th to the tenth with a wedding to go to on the ninth. Let's hook up. |
| 28th October 2006 pkeusgen | A bad deal for whom? - From: The sad truth of commercial diving Yeah, I'm sure I could get a fair bit more with trimix and a level 1 underwater welding certificate, but probably not on Labuan which is dominated by Filipinos who I'm sure would be pretty happy to work for $50 a day. I'd get more in the North Sea in the UK or Norway, although I'd need about $1,000 a day to work in that miserable place! |
| 26th October 2006 Shanen | You got a bad deal - From: The sad truth of commercial diving I know many commercial offshore divers out there who do earn US$500 a day, you may not start quite at that pay without experience, but $50/day is a rip off and you just weren't talking to the right people. |
| 13th October 2006 Michelle Ng | Great journal - From: Meeting our cousins at Orangutan Sanctuary Hi, I was looking for "Uncle Tan" camp side info and found your site. I think your journal is great. The way you write is humorous and interesting. Great job~ |
| 16th August 2006 pkeusgen | Good to be back! - From: Wandering around the safest place in Asia Our paths may cross sooner than you think! I was pickpocketed in Bangkok and lost my Korean cash card, so will back back in Seoul soon to replace it. See you there, and maybe again in Shanghai! Cheers, Peter. |
| 16th August 2006 Rick Dysinger | Glad to see you back - From: Wandering around the safest place in Asia Peter, I thought maybe you got mugged or something. I may be moving to Shanghai next year. Although not confirmed, my boss has decided to open up an office there and put me in command. I am sure we will cross paths soon. Rick |
| 22nd July 2006 Margaret Young | Clinical Interpretations - From: Climbing Mount Kinabalu This psychologist can empathise with your knee feelings WITHOUT scaling dreamy heights! Little voices in backs of heads have their place when they are talking sense! Maybe yours were, but ever the adventurer, PK gives 'sense' only a cautionary consideration - then acts on a greater agenda! Much love, and keep them coming please. (Is IL on your Blog list? Sure he must be, but we haven't commented in our emails.) Marg |
| 18th June 2006 pkeusgen | Go to Shwedagon Paya in Yangon - From: Inle for tourists This is a day travel from Yangon. But the best pagoda in the country is in the capital - [diary=61438]. |
| 17th June 2006 PIero | Kitten Temple... - From: Inle for tourists Is this temple near Yangoon? I'll be in Yangoon this August. And..can you tell me the most beautiful place to visit near the capital??? Thamk's very much! |
| 15th April 2006 Brandon | That's BrandOn to you sir... - From: Lost Seoul but you're right. They aren't my girlfriends. Just two groupies I picked up after a show. (Actually that's not that completely untrue).. |
