| 29th December 2008 Mary Micheal | - From: Stranded on the Nile Nile Trasure is amazing Nile cruise, I recommend it to all my friends prefer to spend some nights on the Nile Cruise, the food was perfect, our cabin was very nice with big window to the nile, totally the service on board was more than Excellent |
| 15th August 2008 high | wow - From: On the Road in the Philippines thank you so much. this blog is more than a booster to us. wait til you see the beaches :) |
| 20th April 2008 Outi | About the show - From: Last Day in Cairo Hi! I saw your blog and I know how you must be feeling about the length of my show that night. There was a major emergency that night. The original dancer in thet boat got herself fired that night just before the first trip. The dancer on th other boat didn't show up, so in that night I had to do 4 trips on two different boats, one wedding in the bartoum and after that I even had work outside. So there was a big problem as the time of the cruises on the two boats overlap sometimes. I hope to see you again and hopefully this time without any problems. Outi |
| 8th April 2008 Vince | Crispy Pata - From: Sarap That was funny, great way to compare yourself to crispy pata...But delicious nonetheless, right? |
| 7th April 2008 Vince | Ah Manila - From: 1st Day Off in the Phils The sights and the sounds...great blog. It's always nice to see a city on a local's perspective and great observation. Manila may lack the 'exotic' flavors like it's Asian sisters, but it does offer some charm still. And yes, the eating fork and spoon is the way to go! Rice with fork? That's a big no-no. |
| 5th April 2008 digital_explorer | Enjoy your stay... mabuhay - From: 1st Day Off in the Phils Im smiling while reading your journal. It seems you are enjoying your stay in my home country. I miss the Philippines after leaving the country in 2005 for further postgrad studies in the UK. Im sure you will enjoy your trip to Corregidor which will provide you the our past during the war. Keep sharing your Philipine trip! |
| 22nd May 2007 anonymous | - From: TamboMachay to Sacsayhuaman This sounds like a truly amazing trip!! So happy you are both enjoying it so much. |
| 18th April 2007 Armchair Traveler | That was nice - From: Limerick By Night You have no idea of how one small act of kindness (bringing shrimp to Ross) can multiply a hundredfold. You are wonderful Ambassadors for your country! Too bad there aren't more vacationers like you! -A.T. |
| 29th March 2007 downwithd | thanks! - From: Verona Pretty in Pink thanks for reading our blog. we were always psyched to see our stats far surpassing our # of subscribers and wondered who the mystery readers could be. best of luck in your travels, moria and kate p.s. i (moria) used to live in somerville. please give massachusetts my love the next time you're time. |
| 18th May 2006 Mayrad | Tips - From: Ranakpur Hey. Nice blog. Off to Ranakpur myself in a couple of days. I'd just like to say don't get your hopes down. It's not always about money. I've been to many places poorer than Ranakpur, and don't get asked for money, such as for photos or help. It's simply down to the history of the interaction of the region between tourists and locals. By giving people money, i.e. for taking a photo of them, only makes them think they can do it again to the next tourist. And so the situation goes on sadly. Asking for money is strangely not always about poverty. Mayrad :) |
| 16th May 2006 j | - From: Ranakpur I love the picture of the village girl...great shot! |
| 16th January 2006 Aadil Desai | Ashamed to call myself an Indian. - From: Chittorgarh and Bundi Sorry to hear about your terrible experience in Rajasthan and hope you never face anyone like that ever again in India or anywhere else. I really feel ashamed to call myself an Indian after what you described here and feel sorry for you about the pervert who tried to act funny with you. Maybe you should have reported him to the police if possible. I know that some instances like this can put anyone off from the other good things that India has to offer but then if there are such instances then all the good things of the world would be useless in front of such incidences. Hope you have not let that incident affect you too much and just let bygones be bygones. Hope you have a nice trip ahead and enjoy your journey wherever you go now!!! Take care and enjoy India!!! Cheers, Aadil. |
| 16th January 2006 Aadil Desai | Tigers!!! - From: El Tigre Hi there, Great to hear about your experience and I wish you could have taken the jeep in the park. But the only good thing about the Canter is the height advantage it has over the lowly jeeps!!! You sure must have got a great picture from the top of the Canter. Hope to see them someday soon. Thanks for sharing your interesting story!!! Cheers, Aadil (From Indiamike.com) |
| 12th January 2006 Carol | but dont let's forget... - From: checking in from jodhpur that his brother/uncle etc probably owned the alternative place he took you to. As a woman alone I visited Rajasthan and had no sense of danger AT ALL. Maybe that is because I live in South Africa - but seriously, I felt very safe in India, especially out of the big towns of Mumbai and Delhi. |
| 6th January 2006 Mom | Missing you - From: Chittorgarh and Bundi It sounds so exotic but scary so read your adventures and misadventures. I am sure that the rest of the trip will be much better than Bundi. Love both of you and can't wait to hear more when you are home. |
| 6th January 2006 ruins_explorer | - From: checking in from jodhpur It was easy to get a sk made. They took my measurements and then asked what kind of neckline, sleeves, pants, etc that I wanted, showing me examples. When it came back, it was beautiful and fit perfectly. danger after dark - at the time, he specifically meant two boys that had said something as we drove by, but in the main, the dangerous part would be walking after dark in the cities, where there are no sidewalks and you're rather likely to be hit by a vehicle. Today a rickshaw deliberately tried to hit me while laughing hysterically in Bundi. |
| 4th January 2006 Emily | So glad to hear you're having fun! - From: Udaipur Shannon, Thanks for all the lovely updates -- they are fascinating! I cannot wait to see your and Alli's photos. And hear all of your stories first hand. I'm still in awe that they had elephants in the roads, for example. :-) Keep having fun, and be safe! Later, Em |
| 4th January 2006 Gram & Gramps | Your Adventures - From: Udaipur Shannon and Allison: We are so enjoying your adventure through your eyes. Makes us want to travel again. Do take care and have a lot of fun. |
| 3rd January 2006 Fresa | - From: checking in from jodhpur Hi there! I've followed your link off IM and have 2 questions for you (which you probably won't have time to answer seeing as you're enjoying yourself so much!!!! ENVY!) You mention a few times that your drivers in India were saying that it was too dangerous after dark for you to go out? Have you any idea what this could have meant? I had no idea that Rajasthan was dangerous after dark! Also, what was it like getting a salwaar made up by a tailor? Fun? Frustrating? Quick? The fabric sounds fabulous anyway! Enjoy yourself, love from a soon-to-be-India traveller! :) F. |
